NAPERVILLE — The College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) is proud to announce the CCIW Network, a new streaming platform launched with Hudl that will serve as the official streaming home for all nine core conference institutions.
 
Live broadcasts on the network will be free of charge for viewers and will not require a subscription. The CCIW Network is currently available at cciwnetwork.com for both desktop and mobile devices and will debut this Friday, Aug. 29. The launch of the CCIW Network represents another step in the conference’s mission to elevate the student-athlete experience and broaden fan engagement.
 
All nine core institutions will have a dedicated landing page with links to live and upcoming broadcasts. Viewers may also search and sort live and upcoming broadcasts by sport.
 
“We are thrilled to bring the CCIW Network to life with Hudl,” CCIW Executive Director Maureen Harty said. “For the first time, fans, families and alumni will be able to find broadcasts from across our nine core institutions in one place. This partnership makes following CCIW athletics easier than ever and we are excited to showcase our student-athletes and coaches on a unified platform.”
 
The network will include non-conference home contests of CCIW core members, CCIW intraconference competitions and CCIW Championships. Institutions will continue to produce broadcasts on campus with select broadcasts being archived and available for on-demand viewing.
 
“The CCIW Network would not have been possible without the commitment and hard work of the athletics communications staffs at our member institutions,” CCIW Associate Executive Director Bryan Moore added. “Hudl has been a fantastic partner. We are grateful for the dedication in making the CCIW Network a reality and we look forward to the enhanced experience this platform will bring to our conference community.”
 
The first live broadcast is scheduled for this Friday when Millikin hosts WashU in men’s soccer in Decatur at 4 p.m.
