Despite the consistently poor ratings garnered in its initial season, Ivy League football will be back on the airwaves this year.
WGBH in Bost on produced the show last year, but lost the production bid for this season to Trans World International of New York.
Hoping to spice up the show's image and attract a larger audience, TWI producer Chris Carmody explains that he plans to "strike a balance between old and new. There's the tradition of Ivy League football, along with the way the student body is today."
To achieve this mix, Carmody will intersperse actual game coverage with interviews of old-time and current players, campus profiles, features on big-name undergraduates, and flashbacks to great Ivy games of the past.
Although the games will no longer be carried on WGBH, they can be seen in the Boston area on WGBX, Channel 44.
