CNY Central snaps up Syracuse rights

New York media company CNY Central has acquired exclusive local media rights to selected American football and basketball games featuring Syracuse University, which is based in the state.

The deal will run for three seasons, from 2013-14 to 2015-16.

CNY Central, which is an umbrella brand for three local broadcasters and other digital media platforms, will show an unspecified number of Syracuse’s games in the Atlantic Coast Conference college sports competition.

Syracuse is joining the conference for the new 2013-14 academic year. CNY Central has shown Syracuse fixtures for the previous two years.
