Seems it is impossible to get a straight answer as to whether this will be shown in western ND, either on an ABC affiliate or on cable FSSN.
Can't help but believe that trying to sell dataflix to us outside the eastern ND ABC coverage area has become the overriding factor.
Because of that, I'll listen on internet radio if my FSSN screen remains blue at 2PM today.
Just talked to my cable co. people (Northwest Communications, Ray) and they have coordinates for the game this afternoon, and will have it on, as far as they know. If coordinate changes are made, they are staying on top of things and will make the necessary changes right up to the last minute, if needed.
THe problem that can occur is if the satellite the signal will be sent from is different than one that their dish's already are pointed at. Since each dish receives more than one station in the cable lineup, if an alternate satellite is chosen that they are not pointed at, they cannot make the change and zap one or more of their other cable stations.
Here is the most current info from the alumni assn:

Now for a rant conc. theralph. Those of us emailing jamie seem to get drastically different responses. As far the the cable co goes, four employees of my cable company (NCC) are supposed to receive emailed messages of any changes/etc to the FSSN schedule, including new coordinates and such. However, since this has happened more than once already, beginning with the UNA/SIoux semifinal football game, theralph people are not sending those emails, therefore, a game the cable co. thinks will come on does not since they are not notified. Doesn't seem like the best way to treat cable cos that pay for FSSN, but that is what has been happening.
