The names have been changed to protect the innocent:
Dear Ms. HockeyMom:
I'm sorry you are unhappy that the UND-Grand Valley game will be on
cable on the Fighting Sioux Sports Network instead of WDAZ.
We are in sort of a no-win situation. Historically, when WDAZ has
pre-empted ABC games for UND games, we still get complaints. Even when
UND plays NDSU. Even when UND has a playoff game. So some people do
care
about the national games.
In an effort to avoid pre-empting network programing, our management
has decided to put the UND games on cable. FSSN actually has a bigger
reach than the WDAZ over-the-air signal. FSSN is seen in North and
South
Dakota and northwest Minnesota, and also on satellite.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but I hope you will be able to find a way
to see the game.
Thank you for your email.
Pat Sweeney
WDAZ Sports Director
