\nA few years ago, one of additions on our “SportsTalk” show was the “DKN Sports Minute,” a 60-second reel highlighting a recent DC-area high school football or basketball game produced by the great people at the DC Office of Cable Television, Film, Music & Entertainment (OCTFME<\/a>) located in Washington, DC.<\/p>\n

Well, the OCTFME has been busy adding to its own plate with expanded coverage of news, community events, public affairs, entertainment and sports in the DC region.\u00a0 In its enhanced sports coverage are more-detailed and more in-depth interviews, videos and features of scholastic, collegiate and professional teams, personalities and special happenings.<\/p>\n

With these additions, we’re proud to announce that we will share even more of their outstanding programming going forward on our Thursday night “RCN SportsTalk” shows.\u00a0 Plus, you can see the “DKN Sports Reporters” show itself on RCN-TV on Fridays at 4:30pm each week.\u00a0 The DKN sports channel is also available to RCN customers in Washington, DC on channel 18.<\/p>\n

Starting this month, \u00a0there are a number of features we\u2019ll look to present on “RCN SportsTalk” \u00a0that have been produced by the office of OCTFME, including:<\/p>\n

“Britt Waters’ Recap of the DC Red Bull Reign”<\/p>\n

“New Team, New Look”<\/p>\n

“ESPN’<\/a>s Lisa Salters on Her Keys to Success”<\/p>\n

“Redskins<\/a> VP Tony Wyllie on Football, Family, and Fandom””<\/p>\n

“RFK Campus Block Party”<\/p>\n

Plus, features on several high school sports programs in DC<\/p>\n

…and many more!<\/p>\n

And, to coincide with the start of the spring sports season in April, we’ll have regular interviews and videos of sports teams in the Washington, DC region.<\/p>\n

We’ll look to have guests from OCTFME on a regular basis to get their opinions, sports rumors and first-hand impressions on sports action and previews of upcoming events of interest to sports fans in the DMV.<\/p>\n

There’s an abundance of great student-athletes and sports action in the Washington, DC area, along with a number of nationally ranked teams and players in different sports, which is of interest to sports fans in many different markets in which RCN-TV broadcasts and is available.<\/p>\n

We look forward to adding these interesting elements to our lineup in continuing to provide entertaining sports conversations and stories to our RCN viewers and followers here on the RCN-TV website!\u00a0 As always, we appreciate your opinions on our coverage and would welcome your thoughts via email: rcnsportstalk@rcn.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
