Syracuse, N.Y. – It's an historic day on The Heights as Le Moyne Director of Athletics Bob Beretta announced the first media partnership in school history.

The wide-ranging agreement between Dolphin Athletics and Dan Tortora Broadcast Media will provide Le Moyne with unprecedented worldwide media coverage through a myriad of broadcast content, including live internet broadcasts, podcasts, videos, written articles, live event coverage, social media features and more.

"It's a great day to be a Dolphin!" said Beretta. "We are so excited to announce this partnership with Dan Tortora and his broadcast company. Dan is a seasoned professional whose work I have admired for quite some time. At Le Moyne, we take great pride in our creativity and innovation. This partnership serves as the first-ever online destination for Dolphin fans to visit and receive unparalleled coverage of Le Moyne Athletics.

"Our Student-Athletes have such compelling narratives and we feel Dan is the perfect individual to help tell those stories. He owns great passion for the Syracuse market, boasts a thorough knowledge of the local, regional and national sports scenes and harbors a strong appreciation for Le Moyne's Jesuit value set. Dan and his faithful media following will serve Le Moyne College and our Dolphin athletes extremely well as we continue to expand the profile of our institution."

The popular "WakeUpCall" online show is hosted by Dan Tortora Monday through Friday from 9 to 11 a.m. ET and is featured on YouTube, iTunes and a host of other streaming sites.

A broadcast media veteran, Tortora has filled a host of roles during his successful sportscasting career, serving as a director, producer, editor, graphics designer, marketing manager, set designer and radio and television personality. He previously hosted shows on ESPN Radio in markets such as Scranton, Pa., Orlando, Fla., and Syracuse.

"It is such a dream come true to have the school right up the road from where I grew up see the value in a company I built with my own hands from the ground up," said Tortora. "To have 'Wake Up Call with Dan Tortora' and Dan Tortora Broadcast Media be the Multimedia Marketing Partner of Le Moyne College Athletics is surreal, exciting, and a beautiful testament that hard and purposeful work really does pay off.

"I want to thank Director of Athletics Bob Beretta and Le Moyne College for believing in how I do business and the uniqueness with which I approach this community and life in general. 'Phins Up!"

A featured staple of the new partnership will be the "Dolphin Dive," a monthly Le Moyne-themed broadcast that will focus on Dolphin Student-Athletes, coaches and initiatives. Beretta will also join Tortora for "AD & DT," another monthly broadcast that will showcase Le Moyne Athletics.

In addition to the Le Moyne-themed shows, the Dolphins will boast a strong presence on WakeUpCallDT.com, with a page dedicated solely to Le Moyne Athletics.

"I'd like to thank Dan for his vision and dedication to the local sports market," Beretta added. "We are thrilled for the opportunity to lock arms in highlighting the accomplishments of our Dolphin athletes, on the playing field and in the community."

Le Moyne's partnership with Dan Tortora Broadcast Media will officially begin on Sept. 1 with the first edition of the "Dolphin Dive" slated for later that week.
