On Sunday, February 9, WXXV FOX 25 will have extensive coverage of Super Bowl 59 from New Orleans starting at 10 a.m. and continuing until kickoff at 5:30 p.m. with post-game coverage at 9 p.m. The season premiere of FOX’s hit game show “The Floor” will air immediately following post-coverage and WXXV will have a 20-minute News Special at 10:40 p.m.
WXXV Sports Director Jevan McCoskey and Sport Reporter Ansley Brent are both thrilled to be covering their first Super Bowl and will have a first-hand account of the game and celebrations on WXXV News 25 Monday February 10 at 9 p.m.
“I haven’t wrapped my brain around what an honor and privilege it is to cover the biggest sports event of the year. It’s a dream come true and I’m ready for some football,” says Brent.
“Super Bowl Sunday isn’t just any other day. Growing up
it was treated like a holiday in my household. To have the opportunity to be in New Orleans on February 9 for Super Bowl 59 is an incredible opportunity that I have dreamt of since I was young and am extremely blessed to have the ability to do,“ says McCoskey.
To get ready for the big day, McCoskey and Brent have a few tips on how you can have a great Super Bowl at home.
Tip #1 – Never show up to a Super Bowl party empty handed. Call your host to see if you can bring added drinks, chips, ice or Ansley’s Famous Corn Dip, which is always a hit! See recipe. Tip #2 – Arrange a ride before you imbibe. Make sure you

have a designated driver or set up an Uber or Lyft ride in advance.
Tip #3 – Know how you plan to watch before game day. Will you be watching WXXV FOX 25 on antenna or cable or do you plan to watch via an app like the FOX Sports App? Make sure you have the app downloaded and know how to log in prior to game day.
Tip #4 – Gear up! Get your team jerseys, hats, and pom poms to help guests cheer on their favorite team ordered in advance. Tip #5 – prepare your house for guests. Clean the bathroom, replace hand towels, make sure you have enough seats for everyone you invite and an easy-to-access, self-serve food and beverage set-up.
Tip #6 – For added fun, create a themed drink, dish, or game for guests to enjoy before the big game starts.
