The start of the 2005-06 University of Virginia athletics year marks the beginning of a new season of the award-winning Cavalier Sports Weekly television program and the Al Groh Report on Comcast SportsNet.
The second season of Cavalier Sports Weekly, presented by the Virginia Lottery, begins Sunday, Sept. 4. The fast-paced, half-hour program provides comprehensive coverage of Virginia Athletics. Cavalier Sports Weekly can be seen regionally each Sunday at 12:30 p.m. on Comcast SportsNet. The program will also air on the new ABC, CBS and FOX affiliates in Charlottesville, on FOX 35 Richmond and on WSET-TV ABC 13 in Danville, Lynchburg, and Roanoke.
Offensive tackle D’Brickashaw Ferguson, a preseason All-American selection, will host the first show. The program will feature highlights and commentary from Virginia’s season-opening football game against Western Michigan, and a profile of senior defensive end Brennan Schmidt.
Comcast SportsNet has partnered with Virginia Athletics to air the Al Groh Report every Thursday evening.
