RICHMOND, Va. – (Wednesday, August 5, 2020) – The Richmond Kickers and WTVR CBS 6 are pleased to announce that the remaining 14 matches of the 2020 USL League One regular season will be set to air on WTVR CBS 6.3 (Comcast 206, Verizon FiOS 466). Already this season, WTVR CBS 6.3 have aired the first two matches of the season.
“We are happy to continue our long-standing partnership with CBS 6,” said Amy Neal, VP of Partnerships for the Kickers. “Since 2017, WTVR has been a vital partner of the Kickers, establishing a television home for one of the historic clubs in the country. In these unprecedented times we are living in, having a strong television partner helps fans still keep track of the Kickers, even when they are not able to be at City Stadium.”
The partnership between the Kickers and WTVR CBS 6 began prior to the 2017 season. Since then, both entities have worked closely together on several projects, most recently being the #RallyTogether Fund, which provided 16,000 meals to the RVA community through Feed More.
“It’s a privilege for CBS 6 to bring live professional soccer to fans throughout Central Virginia on our broadcast and streaming platforms,” commented Stephen Hayes, WTVR CBS 6 General Manager.
The Kickers are back in action this Saturday night for the Home Opener, presented by Woodfin as Forward Madison FC comes to town for a 6:30 p.m. kickoff at City Stadium. This match will kick off the slate of matches to air on WTVR CBS 6.3, as well as streaming on ESPN+. A limited number of tickets are still available at www.richmondkickers.com/Tickets.
