Looks like we are totally screwed in Dsm again today?

[GonzoCat]

I saw by the schedule this game was on TV, so I thougth it would be on Mediacom 22. Then I saw on the guide they were showing ISU today, but I held out hope that was an error because their listing is often erroneous and I didn't think ISU would be playing on Sun at 1:00.

Found out this morning that was correct, ISU is playing and are on 22. So I saw by the guide we were on KXNO and I could at least listen to the game. Turn on KXNO to find they are carrying the Vikings game. SOaB!

I would like to get an official list of all events that KXNO will preempt UNI for, seeings how they are the voice of the Panthers in Dsm. Seems like they just make it up as they go along.

Any suggestions for online viewing/listening? Looks like a game tracker game. If I had known in advance there was no way to watch/listen I might have planned a trip to CF subject to the weather.

Same boat as you Gonzo. Just to let you know it shows 22 showing the game at 1030 tonight.

Its' unfreakingbelievable that the two top teams in one of the top conferences are playing and there is no way to follow except attend the game live.

This is not how you build a fan base, this is how you lose one.

Re: Looks like we are totally screwed in Dsm again today?

it is a joke to promote yourself as the panther radio network when in reality it is "the panther radio network unless something better comes up"

why did UNI agree to this fiasco? there is no reason that a division 1 team should not be on the radio EVERY SINGLE GAME in its largest alumni base. i will probably just have to drive around for 2 hours and try to pick up 1540.

I'm in the dm too and picking up 1540 just fine right now, but agree that we need better coverage down here

Re: Looks like we are totally screwed in Dsm again today?

That does suck. I'm lucky to be able to get KXEL here. It's always disappointing to have to listen to the radio instead of watching on TV, but I guess by comparison, I'm lucky. There definitely needs to be better coverage everywhere. More TV and more radio for those areas that don't get it.

I picked up KXEL fine, I don't have a problem being cut in on by the NFL, the single greatest sports entity in the country, but when I turn on and hear ISU Womens basketball I want to throw up.

I learned my lesson last year and shelled out the $40 for Stretch Internet. You get video of all home games and audio for the rest of the games. Is was well worth it. Good news is the next few games are on ESPN.

I watched it online but I agree with the above its pretty piss poor when you have a 11-1 UNI team playing a 12-1 MSU and the only way you can watch it is if you can get KWWL 7.3 or online, its a joke I expected Learfield to do better as far as TV coverage

Good thing we got that deal with Learfield. The radio situation is so much better this year.

I hope all of the people that are angry and posting here are also calling the radio / tv stations. That is the only real way it will ever change. Right now they feel they have more people interested in ISU women so can sell advertising better. Gotta let em know the numbers are there!

It probably makes sense, too, to call the UNI Athletic Department and let them know they should be making better deals with their affiliates, and not accept being second-fiddle to ISU or the Minnesota Vikings or whoever.

Re: Looks like we are totally screwed in Dsm again today?

I emailed the people in charge of the Media package to express my disappointment concerning the overall TV situation (specifically the Iowa game). I didn't receive so much as a "piss off" in response.

UNI does everything it can to keep its fan base small.

Re: Looks like we are totally screwed in Dsm again today?

I watched the MSU and Evansville games on the Stretch Internet broadcast.

It's $8 a game. But it's a pretty good broadcast. No replay, just the live action. But the camera angle is good and you have Rima's play by play with the video.

I don't like spending $8 to see these games on TV but it's a whole lot better than listening on the radio.

I also agree with this...but until the stations themselves feel there is a market for the product, UNI can try to sell the these broadcasts until they are blue in the face and they won't get a "buyer". The radio stations have to feel a need to work with UNI. Up until recently there never has been that need. What I am hearing now is that there is a true market for UNI sports...let the stations know about it.
