GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Four more Furman football games will be televised this fall, giving the Paladins a total of six telecasts tor the 2008 campaign, athletics director Dr. Gary Clark announced today.

Furman's season opener against Mars Hill (Aug. 30) will be televised by Comcast/Charter Sports Southeast (CSS). CSS will also air Furman contests against Chattanooga (Sept. 27) and Wofford (Nov. 20). In addition, Colgate has announced that its clash with Furman (Sept. 13) will be televised by Time Warner Sports of Central New York, but plans to carry the contest in the Upstate have yet to be determined.

It was previously announced that two Paladin games will be televised by SportSouth, including clashes against Samford (Nov. 1) and Georgia Southern (Nov. 15).

Kickoff times for the three CSS televised games have been switched. The Mars Hill game has been moved to 7:00 p.m., and kickoff for the Chattanooga contest has been switched to 3:30 p.m. Furman's game at Wofford is now a 12:05 p.m. start.

The "Voice of the Paladins," Chuck Hussion, will call the play-by-play action for the three CSS telecasts, and former Paladin All-American Corey Stewart is slated to deliver color commentary.

CSS, which serves 4.5 million cable subscribers across 11 states, is available in the Upstate over Charter Cable channel 58.
