MEDIA INFORMATION SAINT JOSEPH’S SPORTS NETWORK

For over 17 years, the Saint Joseph’s Sports Network (SJSN) has produced and broadcast Hawk athletics to the region and beyond. Begun as an outgrowth of a four-game package of Saint Joseph’s women’s basketball broadcasts during the 1989-90 season, SJSN was founded in the fall of 1990. Since that time, SJSN’s coverage of Hawk athletics has grown and currently includes live coverage of all Hawk men’s and women’s basketball games, Phil Martelli’s HawkTalk radio program and the nationally-renowned HawkTalk television show. Saint Joseph’s games will be carried in 2008-09 on either 50,000-watt WNTP 990 AM or WFIL 560 AM, stations that have a long history of broadcasting college basketball in Philadelphia. All of SJU’s men’s games can also be heard through audio streaming on the internet at the Hawks’ official athletics site, www.sjuhawks.com free of charge through Stretch Internet. Video streaming of selected games is also available on www.sjuhawks.com as part of the Hawks All-Access package. Tom McCarthy Joe Lunardi PLAY-BY-PLAY ANNOUNCER COLOR ANALYST

2008-09 SAINT JOSEPH’S BASKETBALL• 194 PHIL MARTELLI’S HAWKTALK

It’s hard to believe, but Phil Martelli’s HawkTalk has been on the air for 12 years, and will air its 100th show in 2008-09. Martelli has provided a different twist on the traditional coach’s show, hosting a “Tonight Show” format. Some oblig- atory game highlights are included, but the emphasis is on wacky jokes and lighthearted interviews. In 2001, The Sporting News called HawkTalk the nation’s best coach’s show. Martelli hosts the unscripted half-hour show, and in addi- tion to trading barbs with co-host Joe Lunardi, he interviews guests ranging from Saint Joseph’s students to family mem- bers to high-ranking politicians. Governor Ed Rendell has been among the high-profile guests on “HawkTalk” in the past few years, along with Philadelphia Eagles player Jon Runyan, author and Washington Post columnist John Feinstein, SJU coaching legend Jack Ramsay, former Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Mitch Williams and SJU Basketball is often the secondary topic on Phil Martelli’s HawkTalk when alum Vince Papale, whose story was told in the 2006 box- the SJU coach and co-host Joe Lunardi get together on the most unique office hit Invincible. coach’s show in the country. For the past five years, HawkTalk has been taped primarily on campus with a live studio audience of SJU students, facul- ty and staff. The show airs weekly from January to March in the Philadelphia region on Comcast SportsNet. For the last four years, a whole new audience has experienced HawkTalk, as fans nationwide have been treated to the broadcast of Martelli’s show on CBS College Sports Network. HawkTalk is produced by CCI Communications of West Chester, Pa., and is directed by Ken Selinger and with assis- tance from Ken Adelberger, Steve Selinger, Mark Knox, and Stacey Martin. Matt Martucci serves as the producer.

Martelli brought out the tuxedos, balloons and cake for the 10th anniversary show in January, 2006. The episode featured a parade of guests from the previous 10 years.

Previously, the abbreviation “St.” Joseph’s University was permit- ted in a number of alumni and athletic contexts. The vast majority of academic and government publications have referred to Saint Joseph’s University since at least 1986, as have most campus references with the exception of athletics. However, university-wide “image campaign” has revealed the need to clarify this policy both internally and externally. According to the most recent edition of the Higher Education Directory, there are at least nine recognized “St. Joseph’s” among the nation’s colleges and uni- versities. Only one of them – Saint Joseph’s University, Philadelphia – is a uni- versity-level, Master’s I, NCAA Division I institution. A complete spelling of Saint Joseph’s University in all contexts will help eliminate any confusion among high- er education and other public constituencies. Style information for print, electronic and digital media is available. It includes accepted abbreviations of the corporate name (e.g., “SJU” or “St. Joe’s” in headlines or certain informal references) as well as prohibited usages (e.g., partial abbreviations such as “St. Joseph’s” or “Saint Joe’s”).
