Just announced on www.cyclones.com...

AMES, Iowa -- Iowa State's 6:30 p.m. CST men's basketball game at No. 6 Texas A&M Wednesday will be telecast by Mediacom Cable. The game will air on Mediacom channel 6 in Central Iowa and on Mediacom channel 2 in Eastern Iowa. The game will also be telecast on Fox Sports Southwest.

I guess something has to fill that channel 6 spot now that Sinclair went naughty. I'm just glad it isn't UI basketball. YES!

Edit: Another good job by JP getting this game on TV. Good job guys!

Another reason I'm glad I have Mediacom.

Thanks for the info. I was getting ready to pull out the radio!

You beat me to it:) They were working on getting something in place and it's good to see we'll be able to watch it after all. WooHoo!

Now the question is whether or not it will be worth watching.

I don't see it on the ESPN Full Court schedule. What a bunch of crap!

Just got off the phone with Directv. Refreshing to talk to someone who had a clue. He told me the game would be blacked out due to zip code restrictions. When you see the game is on Fox Sports SW, don't buy into it. I'm pretty sure that unless you are in Texas (or Iowa), you won't be getting the game on Directv. Frustrating that it got dropped by ESPNU.

Hopefully something can be done in the future regarding the zip code restrictions. I have a problem with the fact that the game will be on television and, although I subscribe to ESPN Full Court and the Fox Sports package, I won't get the game. Seems unfair.

I'm confused...

So will the game be on Fox Sports SW or not?

hilbs31 · 01-30-2007, 10:39 PM

Well, don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure that if you are not in the Fox SW market, the game will be blacked out (on Directv). I'm hoping I'm wrong.

Jeremy says that it will be on Mediacom Channel 6.

For those on Iowa State's campus, Channel 6 is Fox because ISU cut a deal with them to get the channel back. What does that mean for us?

Mediacom Connections is channel 22 in Des Moines. Is that the same as Channel 6 in Ames(for ISU campus?).

Has anyone with the Fox Sports package with DISH Network checked to see if it will be blacked out there as well? The next question is what bars in Des Moines still have Mediacom that will show the game. Most of them have some kind of dish package anymore...

I have DirecTV and it's listed on the guide that the game will be shown. Channel 667.

Rickybaby · 01-31-2007, 11:23 AM

I just checked the Dishnetwork programming guide and it's not listed anywhere not even Fox SW. What the ???

I'm in New Mexico since when is that not considered the SW.
