Brahmas’ first playoff game to be aired on television

Saturday night’s game one will be broadcast on Metro Sports Channel

For the first time in their history, the Texas Brahmas will televise a home playoff game. Game One for the Brahmas will be played Saturday night, and be aired five times on Metro Sports Channel 185 on Time Warner Cable.

The Metro Sports Channel is a local television channel specializing in Metroplex sports, including high school and college sports. Their tagline, "Hometown Heroes. Bigtime Coverage." fits the Brahmas "Hometown Hockey" appeal. The game will be aired to all Time Warner subscribers throughout the Metroplex.

"We are excited to have our first home game televised," said Brahmas General Manager Mike Barack. "This will be great exposure and we hope to have more broadcasts in the future."

Broadcasting the game will be Pete Stein, the co-host of a nightly sports talk show from 7-10 on 105.3 The Fan. Stein was the play-by-play voice for the Dallas Sidekicks for two seasons and has worked basketball, soccer and baseball games for Time Warner Cable Metro Sports in the last year. Sitting along Stein as a color analyst will be Richie Witt of the Dallas Observer.

Gary Underwood, Vice President of Communications for Time Warner Cable, is pleased to offer Time Warner customers' local professional hockey for viewing.

"We are excited to provide our customers the Texas Brahmas in their playoff run and look forward to more Brahmas content on Metro Sports," said Underwood.

The Brahmas Playoff Game One will be aired on the following schedule: Sunday at noon and 7 PM, Monday at 3 PM and Tuesday at 8 AM and 8:30 PM. Metro Sports Channel can be found on channel 185 for Time Warner customers.
