UMass Lowell and Comcast are proud to announce the launch of UMass Lowell On Demand.

The exclusive programming destination, available only to Comcast subscribers, will bring fans behind-the-scenes and closer to the action with special content from the University, the Athletic Department and the Tsongas Center at UMass Lowell.

"We're very excited for this unique opportunity, which will change the way people view UMass Lowell," said Peter Casey, Director of Athletic Business Enterprises. "Our On Demand programming will put the University ahead of the curve and offer fans an inside look at this growing campus."

To watch UMass Lowell On Demand, press the On Demand button on your remote, then select "Get Local", "Comcast On Campus" and then "UMass Lowell" to access all of the content. UMass Lowell On Demand will be updated on a regular basis.

UMass Lowell On Demand hands viewers a backstage pass to the Tsongas Center, a front row seat for select River Hawk games and unparalleled access to the University campus.

This month, fans can watch highlights from the River Hawks' Stanley Cup Night on Dec. 2, a special surprise gift presentation to comedian Jeff Dunham prior to his standup performance and an insider's look at the dramatic changes happening at UMass Lowell, "A Campus on the Move". Plus, highlights from tonight's UMass Lowell/BC hockey game will be available On Demand in the coming days.
