Kxno

[ceaser150]

Sent an email to KXNO today and got this response from Ken Miller. Sounds like they are trying to get their act together:

I've got to call you on listening all the time, as last week Matt and I discussed at length the problem we have with all of our play by play. What to do if the NFL Playoffs and UNI Bball conflict with each other etc. We also announced at that time as well as others that we'd carry this past Saturdays game instead of the AFC Divisional game, which we did, albeit later than we thought due to the ISU woman getting a later than advertised start.

This Sunday we will join the AFC CHAMPIONSHIP in progress following the Panthers and I'm guessing that will draw the wrath of NFL fans that can't watch on TV.

It's impossible to make everyone happy, going forward we'll carry the Panthers on Jan 30, Feb 6, 10, 16 and 23rd and once the game times are announced on the 19th and 27th we'll determine if we can air those. We'll follow the team to St Louis and the Post Season as long as there isn't a conflict with ISU Woman as the ISU Woman's Basketball broadcast have precedent over any other programming here.

I do agree that we need to do a better job of communicating our play by play schedule and by the end of the week hope to have a link on kxno.com that our listeners can go to.

Thanks for your email,

Ken Miller

Re: Kxno

I'm not sure if they're 'trying to get their act together', or if the schedule just works out better and UNI isn't up against the NFL or ISU.

Re: Kxno

Sounds like they have tried to put too much on their plate. Maybe being able to announce you are the home of the Panthers brings them more accolades then actually playing the games. KWKY locally did one year of coverage - and they played almost every game. Almost made me convert to catholicism too

However, you had to watch where you were in the metro area. Their coverage was VERY limited.

Re: Kxno

Does KXNO have a sister station in the DM area? PSP needs to be negotiating for alternate channels for those broadcasts that KXNO cannot broadcast.

Re: Kxno

At least they are preempting UNI with something a large audience will listen to. My local AM station has been playing HS wrestling and basketball over the Panthers.

KXNO is the sister station for WHO.

KXNO is the flagship for ISU women, WHO for Iowa, and The Bus (100.3) for ISU men. That only leaves Capital 106 (with a small footprint) and Kiss 107 as alternatives within CC, and neither would be attractive landing spots.

Not even as an alternate position? I know that between the Blackhawks, CFHS, and ISU basketball, 1650 KCNZ moves some on to the crappy 1250 signal. At least do something to get them on the air.

Re: Kxno

One thing to keep in mind here is that with KXNO airing the games, they should be available over the internet since they offer streaming. This is a big plus to Panther fans across the country. Also, I got another email from Ken Miller that says the game tonight's will be on KXNO and they just had a meeting about getting a section on their website devoted to the Panthers.

Streaming will most likely be disabled for UNI events. That's what other stations do.

Over the air and streaming online are two different things. Just because they put it on the air doesn't mean they have the rights for online streaming.

They definitely don't stream UNI games - already tried it previously.

Re: Kxno

I'm getting sick of reading in the Register's radio/tv calendar for sports that the UNI game will be on KXNO and when I turn it on it's ISU women.

Re: Kxno

I hope UNI isn't paying either PSP or KXNO for "the problem we have with all of our play by play". It's pathetic in the extreme that they are just now figuring out they aren't up to the task. There has to be some kind of contract, doesn't there? Wouldn't it list the broadcast dates on it?
I think this was drawn up on the back of a napkin.
