I just realized that every ESPN MVFC "game of the week" is exclusively on ESPN's streaming platform, as in home teams cant broadcast their home game on TV if it's the game of the week. UND vs UNI is the game of the week and will not be on TV anywhere. Is that correct? Would love to see a copy of that contract... I was wondering why Midco wasn't listed as a broadcaster for that game. https://fightinghawks.com/sports/football/schedule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious if they will be picking up the broadcasts or if they will actually be producing some of them, as they did when UND played at NDSU.

Spoiler Alert: Read the television RFP; it's in there. Do you happen to know if there will be any Midco coverage in Kansas City? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Be careful. Please note, UND Hockey is NOT available on Midco Sports Plus at this time. (NCHC.tv has all rights.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viverito has said in the past schools like NDSU with lucrative media contracts are exempt from having to allow a MVFC game of the week at home. NDSU's media contract will not allow a game in the Fargodome to be the MVFC game of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, NDSU's 2m contract also gives Learfield NDSU's sponsorship revenue, licensing revenue, and Fargodome suit revenue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSSD Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 This was an interesting listen. It has a discussion about media rights and how they plan to implement some of the changes. Plus time talking about phase II (weight room, locker room and sports medicine). Other Projects: - Ralph weight room update - Betty new basketball/volleyball - video/meeting room. Memorial Village - as of right now it is planned to be completed by Summer of 2024.

The Sicatoka Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Given we're less than two weeks from the first football game (at Nebraska), an official announcement of a Fargo radio affiliate would be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodak78 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Is there any doubt UND signed with the right company. How many eyeballs will have vs the other team to the south? https://midco.com/news-and-events/2022/august-2022/tuesday-august-23-2022/midco-sports-partners-with-comcast-to-expand-reach-to-twin-cities/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bincitysioux Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 If anybody is looking for info on the TV broadcasts, just head on over to the University's website. It was last updated prior to the 2018-19 season........... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
