FSSD Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 11 hours ago, nodak651 said: That one isn't negotiable. NCHC has the streaming rights, unless you have a normal Midco TV package. I believe Mudco could actually release a streaming only TV package like sling and include the games, technically, but a sports only thing like they have now is a no go, unless the conference abandons nchc.tv. Edit: for hockey One can hope, the NCHC needs to get the auto renewal stuff fixed that group is miserable to work with... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple local shows and then several national shows Like Jim rome and The Fabulous Sports Babe(Rich Guy on a cell phone) among others. Roger Degerman whose show was alright as long as he had people calling in and David Moulton who was talented enough that he could carry a radio show for 4 hours without a phone call if he had to.

Michaels is too busy down conversational rabbit holes to point out formation and personnel and it drives me crazy. In between him and Phil complaining about calls that go against NDSU. I was amazed how many times they openly question calls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Phil Hanson does openly question calls, but the master is and remains ... Tim Hennessy. "They called that.

nodak651 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Really hoping more audio content gets created as a result of the new iheart deal. Can't stand that Dom is the only option for local sports talk. Region needs an unbiased show that discusses regional sports and local news badly. Similar to Dan Cole I guess. Show with a Co host and more call ins. Biased hosts would be great as well though if there were two and there was a und and ndsu guy. Daytime radio in ND kinda sucks right now. If Tim still has a show it would be nice if iheart streamed it or put it in podcast form. Same with coaches shows. Iheart radio for gf streaming just uses the twin cities kfan feed and its annoying.. same w web page. Have to fix that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nodak78 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Rog. His top five or ten not sure which top picks of the week. He picked one our teams as high scorer that week. We were on the bus and heard. Wow what rush. I tried to find a clip with his voice. I couldn't I found obit. I didn't know of anything about his baseball career. In my mind. Hennessy in hockey Higgins in basketball Adelson on golf ALEX on UND football. I hope he is tied to a 50 year contract. I prefer to be their live but otherwise I need to watch Alex. If Alex could double as the announcer at the game.

nodak651 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Sorry no contract update. However, when Alex is gone for CBSSN games, is there a chance Midco grabs Ben Holden as fill-in??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Holden's new boss, NewsNet, is owned by the biggest shareholder of Gray Television. Gray Television owns: KVLY-TV (Fargo-Valley City, ND); KSFY-TV/KABY-TV/ KPRY-TV (Sioux Falls, SD); KFYR-TV/ KMOT-TV, KUMV-TV/ KQCD-TV (Minot-Bismarck, ND); KNDX-TV/KXND-TV (Minot-Bismarck, ND); KXJB-TV (Fargo, ND) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, seems we may actually get some news about this once Forum Communications rephrases a press release or McFeely writes an opinion piece on it.

KFAN in the twin cities has done a great job of keeping listeners engaged. ND radio is missing anything that resembles the comradery and banter that KFAN has developed and is so good at. Would love to hear a few hours a week with a group like Dom, Kolpack/Mcfeely, Schlossman, and Tom, (or even Port occasionally) all on the air at the same time. Maybe they could hire a funny producer or something as well. I also understand that this will never happen, given Forum Communications unwillingness or inability to invest in a quality product. There could actually be a quality discussion or debate with that group. So sick of radio shows with a single host that do nothing but monologues and interviews while hardly ever taking phone calls. Boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
