B12 Network TV Question

**CurvedAir** · 02-12-2013, 08:53 PM

In KC, it doesn't look like Saturday's game against TCU is being shown. They have the OU/OSU game on the NBC affiliate at the same time. The normal B12 KC affiliate (KCMI) is showing some skiing championship. Can there only be one B12 game shown in a time slot? ISU's games are always on down here.

Every so often there will be 2 Big 12 Network games for affiliates to choose from in a time slot, and it should surprise no one that an affiliate would choose OSU/OU over ISU/TCU. My guess is every affiliate outside of Iowa and maybe the Dallas area will do such.

Looking at the schedule, it looks like there is only 3 occasions this season where affiliate will have to choose between games, and ISU is part of two of them. The last Saturday of the season they will have to choose between ISU/WV and KSU/OSU.

It seems odd that the B12 designated affiliate station that normally airs B12 games isn't showing the early game. They always do. Maybe the NBC affiliate was given the game for some reason. Hopefully some KC fans have a better clue than I do what's going on.

Let's face it. The B12 has some real work to get their products broadcast in the future. Pretty bad when first row is the choice.

This may have just ruined my day. They usually have the game on 38 the Spot but it's not showing up maybe they just haven't update the schedule yet.

KXVO in Omaha is showing ISU/TCU on Sat according to their listings.

Channel 41 shows the game instead of 38 quite a bit.

In Lincoln, the Omaha KXVO channel is our only link to the Big 12 network. Tonight's Texas game is not listed for KXVO, but, for KPTM-DT2. Is that a cable channel or broadcast digital?

What? An Iowa State game broadcast in Eastern Iowa???? Maybe our nasty emails are making a difference.

Or - more likely - it's a Saturday afternoon game and won't compete with Idol. I hate that station.

Wait...this game is not being broadcast in Cedar Rapids...correct? I see that Cedar Falls Utilities is broadcasting it...doesn't do much for me since I live in Cedar Rapids! Am I missing something?

Correct on the Texas game tonight. However the TCU tame on Sat will be on KFXA.
