HAMMOND – Southeastern Louisiana University’s cable television channel is now available
on mobile devices.
The live 24/7 broadcast of the Southeastern Channel is now available for viewing
on all mobile platforms, including iPhone and Android. Known for its diversity of
educational, community, entertainment, cultural and sports programming, the channel’s
live television broadcast can now be watched on all mobile devices at southeastern.edu/tv/live.
The channel, available through Charter Communications airs on Channel 199 in
St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, Livingston and St. Helena parishes, currently reaches 90,000
homes on Charter with a potential viewing audience of 250,000 on the North Shore alone.
Until recently, online viewers of the Southeastern Channel’s live 24/7 simulcast
have had to watch on a desktop or laptop computer from the channel’s home page southeastern.edu/tv.
That monthly viewership has registered in all 50 U.S. states and 47 countries each
month.
“Recent updates to our studio and broadcast equipment now make the Southeastern
Channel’s live broadcast available to anyone, anywhere, on any desktop computer, laptop,
smartphone or tablet,” General Manager Rick Settoon said. “Whether it’s educational
programming like history shows or telecourses, community programs, performances like
musical concerts, or Southeastern sports events, we receive regular requests to watch
our programming from loyal viewers who are often on the go. Now they can watch if
a television, desktop or laptop isn’t accessible, as can viewers who are more dependent
on their mobile devices.”
The Southeastern Channel recently upgraded to High Definition (HD) for studio
production, broadcast and delivery.
The channel has also expanded its streaming capabilities to include live streams
of its production of Southeastern sports events, dual enrollment classes and entertainment
events. The Southeastern Channel has live streamed football, soccer, basketball, baseball
and softball games, along with the Miss Southeastern pageant during the past year.
Next year volleyball games and additional music events will be added to the streaming
lineup.
