KCRG just announced that their request to air the bowl game was denied. The NFL network said that it would only let WOI air the game because that is ISU's home market.
We Tried... KCRG-TV9 Denied Permission to Show Insight Bowl | KCRG-TV9 | Cedar Rapids, Iowa News, Sports, and Weather | Local News
lame...
**** the nfl network
This is prob a stupid question, but since I have NFL Network here in Eastern Iowa, I'm gonna assume I'm still good?
Yeah man, you're good. This is just saying that peeps in east IA that don't have NFL network are gonna have to go to your place to watch it...Quote:

sadly ImOn hardly covers half of the CR metro area.Quote:

Title is misleading....it is on TV everywhere on the NFL Network. If you don't have it, someone or someplace close does.
No reason to complain although that is the sole purpose for many to frequent this board.
By all accounts I've heard, ImOn is vastly superior to Mediacom in both programming and customer service. Unfortunately, as someone pointed out, they don't cover the entire CR metro area. I think they are currently stuck with the territory where McLeod left off when they went bankrupt. I did hear recently that they are expecting to start expanding again soon, but obviously this doesn't help anyone right now.
So basically your home market is the area that you could ride your bike to in an afternoon and thats it?
In fairness, Iowa's home market would be the eastern side of the state...
I live in Eastern Iowa and I'll get the game on TV. Must suck to have cable!
I'm here as well and i'll be watching it on cable. CFU cable rocks!!!!Quote:
