Announcement coming: "Cyclones.TV is the real deal"

[SeattleClone]

Anyone who has Mediacom deserves to be laughed at. Announcing Mediacom as a partner is the equivalent of a puke burp.

My HTPC with 3-tuner HD cablecard and whole-house DVR for only $2 monthly cablecard fee disagree.

I have had FS San Diego for all of a month so don't quote me on this, but it is pretty much FS West programming except when Padres programs are on (pre-game, game, wrapup, etc.). Maybe FS can piggyback on FS Midwest and just fill in with ISU programing when appropriate?

Better than getting bumped for Blackhawks Hockey all the time.

I have Mediacom, mainly because of the old trees in my neighborhood and have never had a problem. The installers were great, worked around my schedule, were there when they said they would be... Called to change my package many times, adding, dropping, etc and never had an issue, never sat on hold longer than a few seconds.... So, what's the main issue with Mediacom again?

The biggest problem with it being FSN is that it doesn't cover 1/3 the state. There's no FSN in the 2nd biggest city in Iowa.

Safe bet is that it's a deal with Mediacom. Probably just a tweak of the same deal they had in the past.

I agree, but that also would be a great way for FSN to get itself on Mediacom in CR/IC. Which might be why they'd do such a deal with Iowa State.

lol, I pay $25 a month with 2 boxes all HD, NFL Network, Starz, Encore, All Sports Channels with Mediacom.

Can DTV beat that? Probably not.

That might be the deal, but everyone knows that someone else pays your bill for you.

That's the point of an FSN-Iowa, it would cover the state vs. there being a different version (if any) dedicated to the entire state. Could also help out Drake and UNI for basketball.

Dreaming a little bit because I doubt that FSN-Iowa is the announcement, but how sweet would it be to be able to get Cyclones' pre- and post-game shows with John Walters and friends on a sports pack in San Diego?

[Cy4Patriots]

how long is your promo deal for?

No contract.

You must have missed the part that says "I pay"

[cyclonefan1983]

I am guessing its the real deal announcement that cyclones.tv will be seen on ESPN3/Watch ESPN as well..

Seems like ISU has always had a deal with ESPN Plus and ESPN3

[acoustimac]

Mediacom is picking it up.

This would be the death of Cyclone TV or at least something close to it.

Not necessarily. The online version could go to out of state and satellite viewers and have more than just games

[ruxCYtable]

DTV was nice but the whole "It's raining, you can't watch TV" thing blows.

They fixed that problem in about 1995.

[TheEncore]

Soooo...has the announcement been made yet?
