Irish on Showtime

Notre Dame football will be the subject of an all-access series on Showtime. The premium cable channel said Tuesday that “A Season With Notre Dame Football” will air weekly starting Sept. 8. The 30-minute episodes will be broadcast at 10 p.m. on Tuesdays. Production has begun on the show and cameras will follow players and coaches all season. Documentary- style programs about sports teams have become popular with TV networks after the success of HBO’s NFL training camp series “Hard Knocks.” The Pac-12 Network has a version called “The Drive” and this year features all-access to Oregon State and Utah. – AP
