LPB Kicks Off the College Football Season with Statewide Coverage
(LOUISIANA STATEWIDE – AUGUST 19, 2025) – Louisiana Public Broadcasting (LPB) is making a bold play this fall with the premiere with its new weekly sports series, GAME NOTES. Celebrating Louisiana’s unmatched passion for college football, the series spotlights eleven teams from six conferences across the state.
The season kicks off with a Fall Preview Special on Thursday, August 21 at 7:00pm. Regular coverage begins with the weekly GAME NOTES program on Saturday, August 30 at 10:00am and the POST GAME NOTES wrap-up on Sunday, August 31 at 6:00pm continuing throughout the football season.
From Noth to South Louisiana, GAME NOTES highlights historic powerhouses and rising programs alike, featuring: Grambling State University, Louisiana Tech University, Louisiana State University, McNeese State University, Nicholls State University, Northwestern State University, Southeastern Louisiana University, Southern University and A&M College, Tulane University, University of Louisiana-Lafayette, and University of Louisiana-Monroe.
“LPB is committed to telling Louisiana’s stories—and many of those stories are found on the football field,” said LPB President and CEO Clarence “C.C” Copeland. “Past LPB series like Behind the Glory focused on the personal journey of athletes. With GAME NOTES, we step into the excitement of the season and the energy of game day, meeting viewers where they are—cheering on their teams every Saturday.”
Veteran broadcaster Victor Howell will host alongside Super Bowl champion and former Saints linebacker Scott Shanle. “Some may be surprised to see sports coverage on LPB, but it’s a natural fit,” said Howell. “Football connects families, friends, and alumni across Louisiana. With GAME NOTES, we’re bringing those connections home to LPB and celebrating the passion that unites our state.”
