2008 Penn State Football Story Affiliates
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - The Emmy Award winning program, The Penn State Football Story, will debut this weekend on outlets throughout the nation as the Nittany Lions open the 2008 campaign.
The Penn State Football Story has captured "Outstanding Sports Series" honors at the Mid-Atlantic Region Emmy Awards several times in the past decade. Critically acclaimed, The Penn State Football Story captures the closeness between players, coaches and staff that is vital in Penn State maintaining its position as one of the nation's premier football programs.
Every program this season will feature a profile on at least one member of the squad. The Penn State Football Story traveled to players' hometowns and interviewed family, friends and coaches to provide viewers more insight into some of their favorite players.
The program airs every week during the Nittany Lions' football season throughout Pennsylvania and regional sports cable networks and channels throughout the nation. Mind Over Media, a Pittsburgh-based production company, produces The Penn State Football Story. Mind Over Media has received numerous Emmy nominations for its work on Penn State football and men's basketball programming produced in cooperation with Penn State Intercollegiate Athletics.
