EWU vs ISU on SWX

[dudeitsaid]

I noticed on the game notes that this game will be broadcast on SWX. Often, if a game is broadcast on TV, it doesn't get broadcast on Big Sky TV. Anyone know if it will be available on both this Saturday?

There is no way I can get out of work before 5 pm, and I'd love to watch the replay on BSC TV if possible. And, of course, I can't DVR SWX, because it is not carried on Dish! :x

SWX buys the game through a different method than Root. They don't maintain exclusive rights. SWX games have always aired on Big Sky TV in the past. I believe the Western Montana game was televised on both earlier in the year (I was at the game and can't say for sure). The same is true when Portland State has games air on Comcast Sports Net locally in Portland; they don't maintain exclusive rights either and Big Sky TV picks up the game as well. Only the main networks (CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox, and their subsidiary companies but not those of independent affiliates) carry exclusives.

Just to pump SWX's tyres a little bit, but credit to these guys for really getting into Eastern sports. If you search for "EWU football SWX" on youtube, you can find several postings of high-quality productions with season previews, reviews, and player interviews. Since my primary residence isn't in the Spokane area, I hadn't seen any of these before last night.

That sounds like a good plan but when I tried that Saturday the 700 broadcast had such a delay it was impossible to do that. Don't know why but there was about a 5minute delay from the computer feed to 700 ESPN broadcast.

5 minute delay is unacceptable.
Maybe just watch the video and the game stats. . . .Heister is painful! :twocents:

On a good note during commercials here in Spokane SWX is promoting their new HD. Hope this translates to the game broadcasts.

No doubt. Welcome to the 21st century.
