nodak651 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Hell yeah! Thanks for not holding out on us dub! Disappointed in gobc for holding back this info haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the green team Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Wow! More coverage is always good. Could be tough year at times with a lot of guys in new roles, but recruits and families should like exposure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdub27 Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 Old news They signed this contract same day volleyball signed there's The only contract related to the televised games above is the FSN portion and yes, it has been signed for roughly a month, but the official list of games that were going to be televised hadn't been released yet nor was there a list put together of which away games would be televised. Sorry if they %gobc was unable to provide that information to people before the official release went out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfhockey Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I can't elaborate too how much on how we got this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homer Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 This is outstanding coverage for basketball and in the areas we want it for fan/recruiting exposure. When is the contract with Midco up and is FSN laying groundwork for something when that contract expires? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfhockey Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 There are some major things going on behind scenes r Let's just say fsn wants our #1 product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Let's just say fsn wants our #1 product FSN* or Fox College Sports? Remember, UND Hockey used to be on FCS. *Fox Sports North, formerly the all Gopher all the time channel, pre Big Ten Network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, UND Hockey used to be on FCS. *Fox Sports North, formerly the all Gopher all the time channel, pre Big Ten Network.to Talked to friend who works for FSN. They are trying to fill slots lost to big ten network. They do see this deal as a stepping stone into more coverage, including hockey. They do want to carry more basketball as well. He said, they realize they need to cover more area now to get more viewers and think the reach up at UND is good for them in attempt to get more viewers/sports. (I know it sounds like sales jargon, but he said they definitely want to get UND product on air) % gobc...tho im sure he (they) will elaborate more, after new contracts/airings are announced :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When is the contract with Midco up and is FSN laying groundwork for something when that contract expires? We are currently in year 3 of a five a 5 year agreement. Link. I think it is absolutely fantastic to get all these basketball games on FSNorth. Really need to figure out how to get hockey and the Big Sky football games on too....... I find it interesting that UND is producing the games themselves for FSNorth, rather than just picking up a Midco feed. Just means more games on TV which is great.

gfhockey Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I can assure you we wont cancel the Midco contract....to big of a buy out plus I heard the money is already spoken for so hockey wont be on FSN for 2 years......UNLESS this FSN deal pissed of Midco and they want to end ties with UND Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darell1976 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I remember when it was just MSC (Midwest Sports Channel) and the only UND game on was the Sioux/Gophers with Tom Reid and Frank Mozacco(sp). Now as FSN they are showing more UND games. How things has changed in less than 20 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cratter Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Which might be a good option if midco wants to carry all 4 Dakota schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cratter Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 And you can see why right now. UND hockey being delayed because USD football is still on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be insane on their end. FSN would pay them for rights to broadcast games. If ratings are good under this contract, FSN will look to air some football and DEFINITELY hockey games.

You realize the deal is with fsn's ALTERNATE/PLUS channel and they will be carrying the local UND student produced productions as a filler because they need content right? You ARE THE EXPERT i thought? WHAT A F*CKING IDIOT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
