MACON, Ga. – With the season bearing down and the teams less than a week away from opening their seasons, the Mercer basketball coaches’ shows officially got underway with the programs’ first taping Tuesday night in the University Center’s Bear Rock Café.
First-year women’s head coach Janell Jones and men’s head coach Mark Slonaker each were in the spotlight as host Rick Cameron, the radio “Voice of the Bears”, moderated the 15-minute programs, with coach Jones leading off the night.
The coaches’ shows, which will be recorded on a monthly basis from October through December and weekly on Tuesday night starting January 3, 2008, will air on Cox Cable’s channel 15 on Friday nights at 6:30 and Saturday mornings at 8:30 a.m.
Becki Sandifer, New Media Designer for the university, along with Mercer students John Wooden and Jordann Hall are producing the shows.
