“Last year, we saw tremendous success in our partnership with Marquee Sports Network,” said Vice President and Director of Athletics DeWayne Peevy. “Marquee shares our commitment to elevating women’s sports and viewership reach, allowing Blue Demon games to reach homes throughout the Chicagoland market and across the Midwest. We look forward to another great year of our partnership and continuing to grow our institution’s visibility, exposure, and brand.”
“We look forward to partnering with DePaul Athletics for another year of exciting matchups on Marquee Sports Network,” said VP of Programming and DePaul graduate, Alli Bertucci. “It’s a privilege to showcase the Blue Demons to their fans and alumni across the city and Midwest.”

This partnership continues as a part of a series of investments and strategic partnerships DePaul Athletics is making in broadcast and live streaming capabilities. In 2023, DePaul Athletics launched a comprehensive audit of its broadcasting services in collaboration with the BIG EAST Conference and Senior Associate Commissioner for Broadcasting, Scott Hecht, to develop a strategic growth plan. That plan has led to the installation of twelve HD cameras at the XS Tennis Village to support live streaming of DePaul men’s and women’s tennis matches, the purchase of mobile, live-streaming technology to support the future streaming of track and field meets, the installation of several new broadcast cameras to support DePaul’s soccer, softball, and volleyball programs, and the creation of part-time, student positions to support broadcast and camera operations, as well as the exploration of interdisciplinary academic partnerships in broadcasting.
