Could this be the answer to JP's tweet on cyclones.tv from last week (LINK)

Is now the time for my puke burp?

I would hope they put it on a network rather than one specific carrier. Putting on one carrier would really limit the audience.

If Mediacom carried Cyclones.tv feed, I would be thrilled. I was not at all happy trying to watch last night's game on-line.

They are going to use VR technology developed by the college of engineering to make it a broadcast so real it will be just like you are in Hilton.

Sadly it will be so awesome everyone will stay home and Hilton Magic will be reduced to corny chants from the pep band.

I don't want to sound like an *** but during this whole realignment saga your posts have generally been a collection of nonsense and idiotic ramblings.

Anyways, an FSN deal is very tough as much of eastern Iowa doesn't have FSN.

To that end, the press release just says Learfield has our rights. Learn to read.

How so? I'm sure he would agree that something is better than nothing, but a network is often carried on a number of carriers instead of just one. Hence, a Fox deal would probably get more homes than a Mediacom deal.

Maybe you are thinking of LH which no one is picking up, but Fox would be existing. ESPN kinda screwed themselves with the LHN, it doesn't have to be that way. Even if ISU did there own network and didn't team up with Fox, I'm sure they could get it on a number of networks if they kept it cheep enough to start out with. ESPN sunk too much money into LHN.

If you understand that, then you understand increasing the audience from zero (no carrier) to many Iowans (one carrier) is no way "limiting the audience". People are being illogical about this.

Mediacon= 1million+ subscribers
Dish= 14mil+
Directtv= 19mil+

FSN>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Mediacon

FSN>>>>Mediacom>>>>>Now = 0

Mediacom doesn't provide service in my neighborhood so hoping that isn't what JP tweeted about.

Granted anything would be better than the current state of things but Mediacon= little more than a public access channel. If it's just on Mediacon, while it might actually be in more homes than LHN, it's still the same concept and doesn't do anything for someone like me who ditched cable and went to dish and will likely never go back.

It sure is horrible being able to watch so many events live and unlimited HD replays of said events plus the features that Walters and his crew make...

I read the article, this all goes back to Learfield Sports which ISU has a contract with. Why with Learfield would we do a deal with Mediacom when other Learfield members are going through FSN?

Yup that's what I really meant to say...





Pause...not
i think you know what I mean though currently it's all only on the computer and it takes some finagling and a little know how to get it onto your tv. Even something like putting out a Roku app to make the content more readily accessible to my tv would be better than putting it on mediacom.
