Testimonials
“Stretch Internet is a hidden gem. At a time
when many schools have no choice but to charge their
fans to listen to games on the internet, Stretch
has allowed us to offer this service to our fans
for free. We simply pay Stretch a low, yearly fee,
and we can stream not just our revenue sports, but
our Olympic sports as well. Our fans love it. We
have a very loyal and demanding fan following. They
expect top-notch service when it comes to internet
streaming, and Stretch delivers. When you throw
in all the extras, including Stretch’s terrific
customer service, it’s really an easy decision
to go with Stretch Internet. We are a very satisfied
partner.”
-Tom Weber
Director of Media Services, Southern Illinois
University
“Stretch Internet has really been a dream
come true. After being run around with other providers,
Stretch delivers exactly what they promise and advertise.
But the most outstanding quality is the superb customer
service. They respond to any issues, whether it
be during a broadcast or other logistical questions,
immediately and really work through everything until
we are 100 percent satisfied. The communication
and follow-ups we get from Stretch are world class
and they have really become a partner rather than
a provider. The fact that Stretch’s streaming
system is so easy to use and driven by us with a
simple phone call has made the expansion of our
broadcasts not only affordable but logistically
possible without any trained broadcast engineers
on staff. Stretch’s unique flat fee and unlimited
streaming has allowed us to vastly expand the reach
of what we can cover, and has greatly increased
visibility of several of our Olympic sports.”
-Paul Ring
Assistant Sports
Information Director, College of William & Mary
“Stretch Internet has made it easy for North
Carolina Central University to broadcast its athletic
events via the internet. Their customer service
is professional, knowledgeable and reliable, even
though we rarely needed them because the interface
is so easy to use and easy for the fans to understand.
And their pricing is very competitive (we had one
sponsor cover the entire cost). I also love the
fact that the time is unlimited. I do not have to
worry about the amount of time we have left. Because
of that we have been able to do a weekly coaches
show. I highly recommend Stretch Internet.”
-Kyle Serba
Director of Sports Information, North Carolina
Central University
“Our fans, staff, coaches and student-athletes
could not be happier with the service that Stretch
Internet has provided. We made the switch to Stretch
after the start of the season and the response was
tremendous from everyone associated with our programs.
It was easily the best decision we made this year.
We look forward to teaming with Stretch in the years
to come to help provide our listeners with the best
service available. Thanks for everyone at Stretch
for making CCSU athletics available to our entire
athletic family.”
-Tom Pincince
Assistant Athletic Director, Central Connecticut
State University
“Stretch Internet has given us a very affordable
way to reach the most fans possible with our broadcasts.
They’ve made it very easy on our end to get
the broadcasts on the Internet and it’s even
easier for the fans to listen. We like the flexibility
in being able to broadcast any game we want, whenever
we want but, more importantly, it’s the customer
service which has impressed us the most. With Stretch,
we never feel like we’re doing a broadcast
alone.”
-Mike Robles
Assistant Athletics Director, UC Davis
“I have had the luxury of using Stretch Internet
since the beginning of 2005, and it has proven to
be a wonderful partnership. The people at Stretch
Internet have been outstanding to work with and
are always willing to do whatever is needed to make
sure that Saint Mary’s University webcasts
are the best they can be. Having little experience
with webcasting, I was always intimidated by it
— until Stretch came along. Stretch makes
it easy — and fun — to broadcast games
on the internet. From their easy, online scheduler,
to their 24-hour customer service, teaming up with
Stretch Internet was the best move I’ve made.”
-Donny Nadeau
Sports Information Director, Saint Mary’s
University
“Teaming with Stretch makes sense for two
important reasons: it’s affordable and it’s
convenient. Our events take place at venues throughout
California, and with Stretch we can be on the air
anywhere, anytime. Broadcasting with Stretch has
been an invaluable marketing tool, and even adds
to the student-athlete experience at the event,
with live interviews and pre/post game shows. The
Stretch staff offers first-class customer service
and consistently treats you like their most important
client, and with the web-based broadcast scheduler
and listener demographics, the service just keeps
getting better.”
-David Eadie
Sports Information Director, California Community
Colleges Commission on Athletics
“Stretch Internet has been an outstanding
company to partner with. Alums, parents and fans
have all found the quality to be outstanding. As
far as the technical side goes, Stretch Internet
is extremely proactive to avoid problems and very
quick to respond if we ever had a technical glitch
on our end. Overall, I would say they are a very
customer-service oriented company with a great product
and I would not hesitate recommending them.”
-Shaun May
Former Assistant Athletic Director for Communications,
American University
“Stretch Internet has exceeded all of our
expectations. We have received
great feedback from our alumni and parents who are
out of the area. Stretch has been great to work
with from day one. They are always willing to go
the extra step. I will continue to recommend them
to anyone looking for an affordable way to broadcast
their events on-line.”
-Brian Berger
Media Relations Director, Sacramento State University
“Stretch Internet has provided us with cutting-edge
technology and quality customer service from start
to finish for each audiocast. We have been able
to reach listeners in world-wide locations such
as England, Ireland, Spain, Italy, South Africa
and Australia to name a few.”
-Bob Prior
Assistant Athletic Director, Nova Southeastern
University
“During my time at Northwest Missouri State,
we doubled the amount of webcasting we were doing,
thanks to Stretch Internet. Being charged by the
event was killing our budgets, but paying a flat
rate with Stretch was a real boon to us. Our traffic
is up on our web site and we’re getting rave
reviews of our webcasts. Stretch Internet has provided
us and our fans with great customer service. Any
time I have a question, I usually get a call back
within hours. Our fans have been very satisfied
with the help they’ve received from Stretch
as well.”
-Andy Seeley
Former Sports Information Director, Northwest
Missouri State University
“My experience with Stretch Internet has been
a complete success. The ease in which I can reach
out to fans worldwide for live broadcasts separates
Stretch Internet from the field. The courtesy and
willingness to go above and beyond by the Stretch
team for our team makes them THE only choice in
online broadcasting. I look forward to a long, successful
relationship with Stretch Internet, as online broadcasting
becomes a staple of collegiate sports information.”
-Clint Often
Sports Information Director, University of Mary
Washington
“After a great deal of research, I came to
the conclusion that Stretch Internet was the best
option for Wittenberg University’s online
broadcasting needs. I have not been disappointed.
The customer service has been outstanding and the
Wittenberg community has enjoyed a variety of benefits
from our relationship with Stretch Internet. I highly
recommend them.”
-Ryan Maurer
Director of Sports Information, Wittenberg University
“Stretch Internet has been a great tool for
us. We’ve been able to combine our radio coverage
with Stretch Internet to reach a whole new listening
audience. In addition, sports that have not had
radio coverage in the past gained tremendous exposure
this year thanks to Stretch Internet. We’ve
heard great feedback from players parents, grandparents,
friends and other family members. The quality of
the Internet broadcasts has been very good and having
the games archived is another big plus. We look
forward to continuing our relationship with Stretch
Internet!”
-Francis Tommasino
Director of Athletic Communications and Play-by-Play
Voice,
Christopher Newport University
“What a great way to give your athletic programs
a national reach. Stretch
Internet has not only provided a great service at
a very reasonable cost, but has been there every
time we needed them with technical help, last second
schedule changes and much more. We couldn’t
be happier.”
-Wayne Block
Assistant to Director of Athletics, Christopher
Newport University
“We were very pleased with the service we
received from Stretch Internet. They did a great
job of providing all the information we needed to
get set up for our first year. Any time we had a
question, we received a prompt reply. The monthly
reports on the number of listeners for each event
are excellent.The archive service also is outstanding.
If anyone is considering starting Internet broadcasts,
Stretch Internet is definitely the company I would
recommend.”
-Bill Turnage
Assistant Sports Information Director, Florida
Southern College
“Stretch Internet has shown an impressive
willingness to work with us at all hours of the
day or night to make our Internet broadcasts reliable
and effective. It is good to know you always have
someone there to make sure your fans are able to
access the services you are providing.”
-Michael White
Director of Athletic Media Relations, East Tennessee
State University
“When our men’s basketball team went
to the final four of the NAIA National Tournament,
parents, alumni and students from around the world
were able to catch the game live on the web--and
I couldn’t believe how many people tuned into
the game. There’s three huge benefits to providing
Stretch’s service on your website: 1) you’ll
be giving your alumni and parents the opportunity
to listen to sporting events from anywhere in the
world; 2) your students will be able to participate
in more experiential learning by participating in
the webcasts; and 3) you’ll make a lot of
people happy with little work on your end.”
