BLACKSBURG– The Virginia Tech Athletics Department and Virginia Tech IMG Sports Marketing are pleased to announce that former Tech football greats Eddie Royal and Brandon Flowers will join the Virginia Tech IMG broadcaster's lineup and make significant contributions to both Hokies All-Access – Virginia Tech's new immersive television program – and to gameday programming across the Virginia Tech IMG Sports Radio Network

Hokies All-Access is the all-new television show focused on Virginia Tech football and basketball that is designed to give Tech fans an immersive gameday experience. The show is a joint production between Virginia Tech IMG and Virginia Tech's official local television partner, WFXR, and will air prior to each Hokies' home football game and for special events pertaining to Virginia Tech football and basketball. The program will air on WWCW and NBC Sports Washington

Glad to see this expansion, also hope this kind of all access show will carry over to the ACC Network.

This is awesome. I can't wait to see them break down plays on both sides of the ball for us.

That is awesome. The only thing that could make this better is a weekly segment with Bill Roth. I'd love a one-on-one with him interviewing a former player every week.

21st century QBs Undefeated vs UVA:
MV7, MV5, LT3, Grant Wells, Braxton Burmeister, Ryan Willis, Josh Jackson, Jerod Evans, Michael Brewer, Tyrod Taylor, Sean Glennon, and Grant Noel. That's right, UVA. You couldn't beat Grant Noel.

This is HUGE news. Both were household names for a good while in the NFL.

Eddie Royal has been great when on NFL network. I dont see him being there long because he will be making the move to national media soon. Brandon Flowers..he's going to be great as well.

Laaser hinted at this at the Blacksburg Sports Club on Wednesday. He seemed very very excited about the new show. Side note: he ran down the entire starting roster player by player and he is legit when it comes to spitting off knowledge, he's not one of those guys who needs a player card in front of him.

Better have a backup "bleep" button ready to go cuz the first one's going to wear out.

A decade on TKP and it's been time well spent.
