Volunteer Football Broadcasts Expand Across Tennessee
This fall, viewers in the Volunteer State will notice a broader presence of University of Tennessee football on their screens, as WVLT+ teams up with the Tennessee Valley Sports Network to deliver a full slate of original programming centered on the Vols.
The centerpiece is the ‘Schedule Volunteer Gameday’ broadcast, which launches two hours before each home game at Neyland Stadium, setting the stage for the upcoming matchup with analysis, predictions and fan excitement.
Live from the iconic venue, veteran analysts Brittany Tarwater, Keith and Heath Shuler will co‑host the pre‑game show, offering in‑depth breakdowns of strategy, player performance and the atmosphere that only a stadium like Neyland can provide.
Adding to the mix, Mike Keith will lead a separate program on the Tennessee Valley Sports Entertainment Network and the WVLT smart‑TV app, where he will interview coaches, athletes and fans, weaving together behind‑the‑scenes stories from the university’s athletic department.
Meanwhile, the ‘Extra Point Fans’ segment will recap the most consequential plays and highlight reels from recent contests, giving viewers a quick yet comprehensive look at the game’s turning points.
The ‘Locker Room’ series, hosted by Mark Packer alongside Austin Price, will dive deeper into the narratives emerging from Tennessee Athletics, exploring everything from recruiting breakthroughs to community outreach initiatives.
WVLT+ proudly bills itself as the Official Station of the University of Tennessee Volunteers, and the partnership underscores a commitment to delivering live broadcasts, pre‑game previews and post‑game recaps that keep fans connected throughout the season.
