Broadcasting
In May 2010, the league and the Office of the Mayor of the City of New York announced that the Gotham Girls' 2010 home bouts would be telecast on a delayed basis on NYC life, the flagship station of NYC Media Group, the official TV, radio and online network of the City of New York.
The NYC life Fall 2010 programming lineup expanded the Gotham Girls' telecast schedule to show bouts five nights a week on late-night programming.
The series of eight televised bouts would be produced directly by the league's volunteers. The arrangement marks the league's first foray into television broadcasting. Streamed replays of these broadcasts can be seen at http://www.ggrd-nyclife.com.
The broadcasting agreement was renewed for 2011 and 2012. The network continues to air delayed 88-minute broadcasts of GGRD bouting action along with player and team profiles.
In April 2011, the league produced its first pay-per-view interent broadcast of live bout action.

Famous quotes containing the word broadcasting:
“We spend all day broadcasting on the radio and TV telling people back home what’s happening here. And we learn what’s happening here by spending all day monitoring the radio and TV broadcasts from back home.”
