Re: Sept. 12th TV in Des Moines

My Directv guide didn't have the game or Coach listed. It listed some movie

My Mediacom guide had the game listed.

It should have been on KCWI but wasn't. Either they screwed up technically, or the feed wasn't properly provided to them. Thank GOD for KXNO.

FYI, I just emailed KCWI and the General Manager of UNI Sports Properties to express my disappointment. I suggest all of you in Des Moines (and those of you who care about UNI growing it's Central Iowa fan base) to do the same.

I did the same this morning but have not received a response yet.

I received a response from UNI Sports Properties. They apologized, but said it was KCWI's fault...all other stations were fine. They said KCWI was committed to airing the future games correctly.

So did mine, so I DVR'd the movie just in case it was the game as I left to go watch the game on a friend's MediaCom (or so we thought.) Flipped on the recording later that night and fast forwarded through 4 episodes of coach. Major flub.

KCWI hasn't yet responded to my email.

Re: Sept. 12th TV in Des Moines

I finally received an e-mail from KCWI.

They tell me that there were two mistakes: First, they had a "technical problem" with pulling down the satellite feed. Second, the people who were working that shift neglected to run a "crawl" to tell viewers they were having difficulty. They apologize for both and said they will be fixed in the future.

They hope we all watch their next broadcast of UNI football. In November.

Re: Sept. 12th TV in Des Moines

KCWI emailed me back today and cited technical difficulties. They apologized for not running a crawl at the bottom of the screen. They plan on airing the game in November.
