Vancouver, BC -- The Whitecaps FC in conjunction with Rogers Sportsnet and TVNW Media Group announced a partnership today to produce a Whitecaps weekly program that will air throughout the 2004 season. The program kicks off on Tuesday, May 4th at 1:00pm PST and runs for 18 weeks, with provisions for additional programming if the Whitecaps qualify for the play-offs in September. Secondary airings of the program will run on Shaw TV channel four and Delta Cable.
Rogers Sportsnet Pacific will air the Whitecaps half-hour program each week on Tuesdays with repeat shows on Wednesday. Sportsnet reporters Craig MacEwen and Scott Rintoul and Whitecaps Director of Soccer Operations, Bob Lenarduzzi will host each program.
