Representatives from HTC today announced their partnership with the Myrtle Beach Pelicans and Coastal Carolina University to exclusively broadcast the March 29 standing-room-only exhibition between the Texas Rangers and Coastal Carolina University Chanticleers live on HTC Digital Cable Channel 4.

The 2010 American League Champion Rangers and the 2010 Myrtle Beach Regional Champion Chanticleers will meet at BB&T Coastal Field in Myrtle Beach, with a game time of 6:35 p.m. A pre-game show begins at 6 p.m.

The exhibition game marks the first game in Myrtle Beach history to involve a Major League Baseball (MLB) team. Tickets for the event went on sale November 16, 2010 and reserved seating sold out within 48 hours.

 “We’re very pleased to be the only area cable provider bringing the Chanticleers versus Rangers game to our customers in Horry and Georgetown Counties. This event marks a first in Myrtle Beach sports history and is one that certainly shouldn’t be missed,” said Mike Hagg, Chief Executive Officer for HTC. “This partnership is a great way to show our support for CCU and the Pelicans, as well as to provide a live, local sporting event that is of interest to our HTC Digital Cable subscribers.”

“We are excited for the opportunity to play against the Texas Rangers, and are thrilled that everyone who didn’t get a ticket, and is an HTC Digital Cable subscriber, will still be able to watch us play,” said Hunter Yurachek, director of athletics for Coastal Carolina University. “We appreciate HTC investing the time and resources necessary to bring this game to the community.”

“This is a great opportunity for the Chanticleers and we’re proud to be able to help provide the team and school this chance,” said Scott Brown, General Manager of the Myrtle Beach Pelicans. “In addition, we’re proud to be partnering with HTC to broadcast the game to their viewing audience.”
