:wtf: Surprisingly, the MTN is not a cable channel in the media capital of the world. Looks like it will be me, Zimmer, Johnson, and Guiness on Sept. 4. I may have to trade Mr. Guiness for Johnnie Walker depending on how it goes.
You can come over to my house. I've got it.

From looking at their website it appears that it's only available on cable networks in the western part of the country, and on DTV.
Chances of finding this game at a bar here in Gainesville, FL? Pretty much zero, I'm thinking...
What channel on DTV? I am looking at the list and don't see it. I buy the sports tier and can't find it.

Accept your fate and just listen to the streamed audio. I mean, why would anyone want to make this game available to places like Philly and NY? How many televisions are there in those towns anyway?
It's likely that by the 2nd half I'll be hallucinating anyway.
:drink:
Clever marketing-the MTN is indeed available countrywide as shown in this graphic:
Now I just have to get my apartment building to let me tack a DTV satellite dish outside my window. So much easier than having a cable channel or streaming the game online. :thumbsup:
I guess its too much to ask to broadcast a football game in HD in 2010...
The game will be broadcast in HD as will all games on the Mountain in 2010.

Thanks. That's good to know. I'll definitely DVR the game so I can watch it again after coming home from it. I get the Mountain, but I'm not sure I've ever watched a game on it. How homerish are the announcers for non-conference games?
Say what you will, but considering the MWC does not get an infusion of millions of annual BCS dollars every season, the fact the conference is able to broadcast nearly every conference game is actually fairly impressive.
I don't have a problem with the mtn, but I don't want CU games to be on there. If this game is so valuable to the state of Colorado, like we are told every time CU thinks about bailing on this ****ty series, then this game should be simulcast on channel 4 or some ****. There are about 12 people in Colorado who are going to know what channel the mtn is.
Yeah I don't disagree. This game should be simulcast locally. Anyway to petition the local outlets to make that happen? The problem is both CU and CSU have been terrible on the field in recent years. When one or the other is decent, the game is almost always a national broadcast - they should have moved the game to Sunday again to ensure that.
I don't believe that local outlets can pick up CU games due to the Big 12 contracts. A CU game is either picked up by ABC, ESPN, FSN, etc., or it's not on the tube at all.
Carolina,
My understanding is that it goes like this:
National = 1st Tier rights
Regional = 2nd Tier rights
Local = 3rd Tier rights
Within that, there's some priority given based on the media contract (like ABC gets first pick and no one can pick up a competing Big 12 game in the ABC time slot).
1st and 2nd Tiers are contracted with the conference. But if all the networks that have Big 12 contracts pass on a game that CU has broadcast rights for, then CU can sell the game to a 3rd Tier outltet. 3rd Tier would also include pay per view through cable or internet (BuffsTV).
There is also the issue of the RMS being a CSU home game for broadcast purposes. So I'm not sure that CU has any rights to sell the game to a local network. CSU is probably blocked by its contract with the MTN.
Also, I'm not sure how radio plays in all that.
Hopefully someone knows for sure and can educate us.
