Almost like its a big deal and there are additional negotiations going on or something. Not to mention some turnover in key roles and some additional people at the table with those changes. But thank you so much for your concern. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it is rational, just saying he enjoys it. wasn't it your AD that was doing questionable things on questionable streets like NP Ave in Fargo?

Culhane is a very good play by play announcer for multiple sports and that is why he got the opportunity to move up to Florida State. His radio show is Shannon McQuade/Derek Hanson level of an unlistenable trainwreck(for those who remember the early days of sports radio in Fargo/Moorhead). Not sure if he will be doing a similar show in Florida. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNDColorado Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I am happy with the Midco decision. Their production value is second to none. Some away football games and more BB and VB would be ideal but we will have see how the negotiations shake out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess outside of UND Sports I haven't listened to IHeart Stations much, but did listen more to Leighton and know they have alot of local talent and seemed to be more active in having events and little pop ups at town events than IHeart did. They also would've needed to get new talent over such as Tim Hennesey to cover, which is probably where their experience and production got ranked lower. Cunningham does okay for high school but IHeart has done well with UND Sport productions, just wish there were more coverage outside of games and Tim's morning show. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ND1 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Midco is said to be to televising road football games (conference only). They will also be doing a handful of pregame hockey shows and post game shows from the Ralph corridor with fans ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

gfNDfan Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Quite a disparity between the Midco and Forum "quality" scores in UND's estimation - I guess Forum is the BEK of local college broadcasters for whatever school is so unfortunate to be their "main product" - it does show 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Probably in the minority here, but driving and listening, I find Culhane paints a better picture of what's going on on the field. Michaels is too busy down conversational rabbit holes to point out formation and personnel and it drives me crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 There are iHeart Radio stations in GF, Bismarck, Minot, and Dickinson. iHeart will surely sell the rights to a Fargo market station. The best part of iHeart is their streaming app is solid. https://www.iheartmedia.com/stations?state=ND Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
