FSSN / Fox College Sports Deal Yes, No or Maybe?

[danonodak]

Sorry in advance, but i don't have any more time to dig through the forums to find an answer.

What is the status of the FSSN and FCS tv contract they started last year? Was the deal perpetual or needed to be negotiated again this year? Any news? I was on the verge of buying a FTA satelite last year when suddenly i got news i could what all of the game on FCS cable in Illinois.

THANKS!

It was a three year contract, so there are still two more years you can view the Sioux on FCS.

For those of you who get FCS on cable, they are playing repeats of Sioux games from last season from time to time. Monday, they replayed the Broadmoor Championship game, and then a regular season game vs MSU-M was on this morning.

Awesome! I've been wondering this for awhile but never got an answer. Thank you!

How does this new Midcon sports network fit into the mix?

I saw that the games from Alaska were going to be on there so is there no more FSSN? Will this midcon channel get on Directv?

MidCon is taking a variety of local sports feeds, including FSSN, and packaging them under the Midcon label for Midcon cable customers.

FSSN still exists, but on MidCon cable will be part of a Midcon's local sports channel.

The Midcon channel won't be on Directv.

that looks ot be correct. They just renamed the channel (from what I see) and instead of having one feed for ND and one for SD they made it one channel...so instead of showing a teleprompter thing with whats coming up they can actually show more games

So - does that mean that Direct TV will no longer have Sioux hockey on FSN? I'm thinking of switching from Dish to Direct TV just so I can watch Sioux hockey...
