WWAX Boston To Feature Quinnipiac University Sports

Gray Television’s WWAX-LD Boston is partnering with Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Conn. WWAX will start by rebroadcasting soccer, volleyball and other fall sports. The partnership will eventually include spring sports and more.

The station said that beyond athletics, “this partnership will open doors and create valuable opportunities for Quinnipiac students with internships and exposure to the real world of 24-7 news. It will give Channel 3 access to the best of Connecticut’s future journalists and content creators.”

“We have had a great partnership with WFSB for many years, with many School of Communications alums on Channel 3’s airwaves and behind the scenes in the control room and newsroom,” said Terry Bloom, interim dean, Quinnipiac School of Communications. “This expansion with WWAX opens up many more possibilities for our students and student-athletes to showcase their talents and maximize their experiential learning opportunities right here in Connecticut.”

“WWAX is very proud to be partnering with Quinnipiac University,” said WFSB-WWAX GM Dana Neves. “We are building a television station to highlight Connecticut’s universities, athletes, and students. QU athletics and academics are integral to that plan and  our programming.”
