SHARE On the air with the Catholic Blue

Loyola’s game at Providence at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 10 will kick off coverage of Catholic League Blue football games on ME-TV. It’s the first of seven games scheduled to air on the local broadcast home of “Leave it to Beaver” and “Gilligan’s Island.” If your DVR is working, the Sports Desk guys would recommend the timeless “Jack Benny Show” at 2 a.m.

YourSeason’s Michael O’Brien has all the details on the agreement between the Catholic Blue and ME-TV.
