UND is working on finalizing contract negotiations with them now. Additionally, it seems that UND put out a rfp for an exclusive radio partner in Fargo. I'm guessing since Iheart doesn't have a radio station in Fargo, and because UND wanted to retain broadcasting rights for markets in which their flagship partner (iHeart) doesn't operate (as stated in initial rfp). Good move imo. https://bids.sciquest.com/apps/Router/PublicEvent?CustomerOrg=UND Also, people with comcast in the msp market may hear some good carriage news soon.

The Sicatoka Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I'm assuming the usual Fargo radio suspects will bid. But I'd love to see an upstart get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In regard to the Fenton interview, no matter what the Summit league decides to do, it will not affect conference Football streams on ESPN+/3 because that is a MVFC conference deal, and hockey would also stay on NCHC.TV (unless hockey or football move under the Summit League's wing at some point). If the Summit does make any changes I don't get the impression that anything would take affect this year (could be wrong). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodak651 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 18 hours ago, Kab said: I was wondering about ESPN like in the past This is a surprisingly good breakdown of the TV/Streaming situation with the Summit League. https://www.inforum.com/opinion/columns/mcfeely-how-valuable-is-the-summit-league-conference-wants-to-find-out My prediction (complete guess)... I really think that Midco is going to make a run at a streaming/linear deal with the conference, and Fenton will use that as leverage with ESPN. I think odds are 50% Midco, 40% ESPN, 10% Summit.TV (like nchc.tv). If Midco gets the rights, I think games would be on their espn-like midcosn+ platform, and I think Fenton would look to pair that with CBSSN, who would air the basketball championship game and potentially a handful of regular season matchups (kind of like their deal with the NCHC). Edit: Here's another article about the Summit/CSMG partnership that I think includes some different quotes from Fenton. https://www.on3.com/news/summit-league-collegiate-sports-management-group-media-tv-rights-strategy-mens-basketball/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodak651 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Can anyone explain what this is about? Was this discussed already? https://www.northpine.com/blog/2022/06/24/tct-gray-bek-weigel-among-full-power-tv-auction-winners/ TCT, Gray, BEK, Weigel Among Full-Power TV Auction Winners Posted on June 24, 2022 by Jon Ellis Tri-State Christian Television, Gray TV, BEK Sports Network, and Weigel Broadcasting will be getting new full-power TV stations in the Upper Midwest as a result of FCC Auction 112. Of the 18 allotments sold nationwide, the one bringing in the most money was channel 27 in Grand Forks, ND, which went to BEK Sports Network with a $6,411,000 winning bid. BEK already owns two stations in western North Dakota and its new station will have the potential to reach Fargo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Random thoughts: Midco doesn't have an OTA outlet. BEK now has OTA coverage statewide. This addition by BEK (a Grand Forks OTA) gets NW MN, and might get them to Winnipeg. I wonder if Midco and BEK could work a deal to get Midco's asset (UND TV) onto BEK's OTA towers to get UND into places without Midco cable. Or would that harm Midco's streaming option.

I was kind of thinking a good option. For all three. Midco streaming wouldn't suffer much in streaming income. An agreement could benefit all.
