Samsung smartphone and tablet owners who enjoy major college sports will probably like a new addition coming to the free Milk Music app they get on their devices. Starting this Thursday, September 3rd, Samsung is adding a new genre for sports that initially will offer college football and men’s college basketball live streams.
For the upcoming football season, Samsung Milk Music will carry over 900 games, including some conference championship games, that will span 122 universities. The list of participating universities has not been announced, but that is a fairly sizeable number and should cover most of the major schools and conferences. When the college basketball season tips off, Milk Music will carry over 3,000 games from 137 schools.
In the future, Milk Music plans to add both home and away team feeds as audio choices for different games. Milk Music also plans to add sports talk content via the CBS Radio National Sports Talk line-up. Samsung makes no mention of games being subject to blackout restrictions.
