Ohio Wesleyan University will team with Stretch Internet to provide streaming for Battling Bishop athletics events beginning with the 2018-19 academic year, it was announced by Ohio Wesleyan athletics director Doug Zipp.

"We are excited to partner with Stretch Internet and provide our fans a quality video experience that will integrate live video streaming and live stats of Battling Bishop athletics," said Zipp.

Ohio Wesleyan becomes the seventh of the 10 North Coast Athletic Conference institutions to stream its athletics events through Stretch Internet.

"This partnership will greatly enhance our presentation of Ohio Wesleyan sporting events," said Michael Taylor, assistant athletics director. "Fans of the Battling Bishops will now be able to access live streams, stats, and more on any device – computer, tablet, or phone – all in one location through Stretch Internet's web portal. Through this portal, fans can enjoy both the video broadcast as well as the live stats in one window, plus if there are multiple live broadcasts at one time, fans can use a multi-view feature to watch both games on the same screen."
