BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - The University of Alabama at Birmingham's official athletics website, www.uabsports.com, has launched an enhanced and upgraded Blazer All-Access multimedia player in partnership with CBS College Sports.
The new Blazer All-Access is powered by Microsoft's Silverlight technology, providing increased web browser compatibility and a redesigned user-friendly, state-of-the-art interface. Those users whose computers do not have Silverlight, which was utilized by NBC during its internet coverage of the Olympics in Beijing, will be required to perform a quick one-time download of Silverlight before accessing the new video player.
The enhanced Blazer All-Access gives fans the highest-quality streaming experience and the most online video coverage of UAB Athletics. The new multimedia player also offers an improved search engine, which allows users to quickly locate videos they are interested in. Fans can search by sport, type of video and date to easily navigate to the newest content.
Blazer All-Access is a subscription online service that offers live and on-demand streaming video of UAB athletics and other features highlighting Blazer teams and student-athletes. Streaming video of live games across several sports will once again be available via Blazer All-Access throughout the 2008-09 academic year.
UAB fans wishing to experience all the great content in Blazer All-Access can purchase a monthly subscription at $9.95, or upgrade to an annual subscription for $79.95. Your purchase helps support UAB Athletics. Get online! It's game time!
