TV for CU Tuesday?

I can't find it listed locally. Appears to be airing on FSN Rocky Mountain at 9:30pm CST.

Anyone know if there's a way to find the game on TV in Iowa? I think ESPN360 is carrying it online which I will resort to if TV isn't an option.

If we can beat Houston and UNI on the road I feel we have a decent shot at this one. Except for the fact we never win there. Either way I don't want to miss it.

Since it's a third-tier broadcast, there is a good chance that it will be on FSN-RM only in Colorado. Territorial restrictions, blah blah blah.

The Mediacom channel guide has it on...actually, I think it may even be on the FSN HD channel.

The other 15 conference games are on in Iowa so I don't have any huge complaints but why is there one game that isn't?

Mediacom in central Iowa only lists the game on channel 533 -- which is ESPN FullCourt.

Because:

(1) No major network picked it up
(2) The Big 12 package didn't pick it up
(3) Colorado's third-tier package is broadcasting it

The other schools that have third-tier agreements with FSN (KSU, MU, NU) all include a blackout deal, where the game is only shown on FSN in that specific state -- i.e., Missouri games televised only in Missouri, Nebraska games only in Nebraska, etc.

This is the first time that Colorado has such an agreement with FSN, so it remains to be seen what all of their policies are. Based on precedent, though, it's a safe assumption that ESPN FC and/or ESPN360 will be the only ways to watch in Iowa.

Why couldn't CTN do the game so we can see it?

Production cost. Since CTN is now under the Learfield banner (instead of ESPN+), let's just say that operations have taken a significant hit when it comes to expenditures.
