Re: TV for SIU

no way they will be able to stream. plus next year we go to Learfield so there will be a zero percent chance.

What would the reason be? As was said earlier, every other team in the league has an AM station that streams the games.

It's the school's decision to stream, not the station's. The station has to do what the school directs them to do.

Next year it will be Learfield's choice, and IIRC Learfield schools all charge for audio.

Re: TV for SIU

what newsy said. i doubt the other schools are with learfield. learfield probabyl wanted the UNI rights due to success with other state schools and our big football following

When SIU's feed goes to commercial break they say "Saluki basketball brought to you by Learfield Sports..."

Re: TV for SIU

then i really have no explanation. they must have negotiated the right to stream into the deal

Re: TV for SIU

if you go through the SIU website, each individual game is $4.95.

I found this link through a google search

I think that's what's happening.

Re: TV for SIU

I don't get it. If someone is paying "whoever" (Leerfield) to broadcast the games, then why shouldn't they be allowed to broadcast however they want? If that means over the web, then so be it. Is it any different than a radio station that only reaches a 20 mile radius broadcasting and another station that reaches 100 miles broadcasting the same thing? I would think it could be a selling point for advertising, too...more people all over the country will hear your ads (if you are local or regional, it won't matter to you probably...but you get the point, I hope).

Re: TV for SIU

i dont disagree with that. the points are that 1) UNI wants additional revenue from purchases of the online stream and 2) I didnt think that Learfield allowed its productions to be streamed outside of the official package of the University (like through an affiliate website)
