Bison on Fox Sports North

[KC_Hats]

I believe the Bison game will be on Fox Sports North this weekend (DirecTV channel 641) in looking online at the DirecTV schedule it is showing the Texas Christian vs. Texas game on that channel. Any of you with DirecTV in Fargo please search and see what the TV listing shows for your Saturday, September 8, 2007 @ 6:30 pm.

It is looking like I might be watching on the computer to see the game.

[NWNDBison]

This schedule shows the Bison at 7:30 Eastern Time on DirecTV Channel 641, Fox SportsNet North:

Looks like the NDSU-SFA game will be shown in the Sioux Falls area on DirectTV. Glad to know I can record it while I am at the game. All I had to do is click on "customize" in the "Your TV Lineup" box on the right side of the screen, then enter my zipcode and provider, i.e. DirecTV. Thanks for the link NWND.

That link is showing the NDSU game on FSN North for DirectTV, Dishnetwork, and Cableone in Fargo.

[KC_Hats]

OK Thanks. I sure hope I can watch on TV even though All Access is great. I may have a few NDSU alumns over to watch the game with me.

[Hammerhead]

The DirecTV shedule is still showing TCU @ Texas on nearly every FSN station so maybe it just isn't accurate.

[NDSUguy]

The game this weekend will NOT be on Fox Sports North.

The game will be broadcast on Fox Sports Pacific (comcast channel 725 in the Minneapolis area).

The only way to get this game in the Twin Cities will be to head to Joe Sensors in Bloomington or to purchase the digital sports package.

But if I have Fox Sports Pacific shouldn't I be able to watch it on that as well? So it's listed on the tv guide but will be blacked out in the Twin City metro? I'm confused.

[NDSUguy]

The game will not be blacked out in the Twin Cities metro. Colleges do not black out games like the NFL.

The game just won't be on Fox Sports North. Most people do not subscribe to the sports package so the majority of Twin Cities bison fans won't be able to see the game.

I'm curious then as to why it shows up in my TV schedule for the week as well as in my on-screen guide for Dishnetwork for the week (FSN 436)?

[roadwarrior]

The game this weekend will NOT be on Fox Sports North.

Are you saying that NDSU's press release on 08/02/07 was incorrect ?

The home opener against Stephen F. Austin will be broadcast by FSN North. Kickoff for the Stephen F. Austin game has been changed from 6 p.m. to 6:35 p.m. to accomodate TV. FSN North reaches more than 3 million homes in a five-state area that covers North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa.

I was looking forward to enjoying some adult beverages from my couch and watching the Bison kick some a$$ on my new 42 inch plasma.

[NDSUguy]

I went to Comcasts website, used their search mechanism to see what channel the game would be on...

This is what is says:

Channel 30: 6:00pm - 9:00pm Texas Christian @ Texas
Channel 725: 6:30-9:30pm Stephen F. Austin vs. NDSU



Lake's link is for Charter Communications (not Comcast). The game will not be on FSN North in Minneapolis. It will be found on the Fox Sports network but not available to Twin Cities residents on Channel #28 (FSN North)

[Hammersmith]

From looking at Comcast's website, it looks like the confusion is coming from FSN-North(MN)(Non-Metro) vs. FSN-North(MN)(Metro). Most cable companies in our region carry the Non-Metro feed, however most cable companies in MSP carry the Metro feed. According to Comcast's website, the Metro version of FSN-North will NOT be carrying the NDSU/SFA broadcast. If you live in or near the cities, check your cable company's website to see which version of FSN-North you get. There should still be time to subscribe to a sports pack that contains Fox College Sports-Pacific if you get the Metro version of FSN-N and then cancel it after the game(or after the NDSU/SDSU game if a miracle happens and their AD signs the contract).

[87Bisonfan]

Does anyone know if it will be on Midcontinent Communications cable? FSN is channel 28 - which carries the Twins, etc. I called Midcon Cable and they said it will on Fox college Sports (Pacific) channel 315. Do I need to upgrade my cable package so I can see the game or will it be on FSN North channel 28?

[Hammersmith]

Minot, ND 58701

According to TVGuide.com(which is where FSN sends you to), SFA@NDSU should be on both channel 28 and channel 315. The only reason it could be different is if the cable company should decide to switch to the Metro feed for some stupid reason(i.e. he's a Sioux fan or something) and aren't reporting it.

I'll keep looking around to see if they're are any patterns I can find in coverage or listing guides.

[Hammersmith]

Okay, I looked into this a little further and found you can't trust TVGuide. Apparently, TVG doesn't make a distinction between the Metro/Non-Metro feeds of FSN-N. I also found that, depending where you live in the cities, you may still get the game. If Comcast is your cable company, go to their website (http://www.comcast.com) and enter your zip code to find out which feed you get. For example, Brooklyn Park recieves the Metro feed(FSN01), while Columbia Heights gets the Non-Metro(FSN02).

If your cable company is Midcontinent, you may have to contact them and actually speak to someone who knows the difference between the two feeds and which one they carry. I've sent an email to them about Minot and I'll post their reply here when I get it.

I scrolled ahead on the Midco menu and it shows the game on FSN in Beulah, Chanel 51

Thank you, I tried talking to someone at Midcon but they didn't seem to know the difference. Also, it is hard to get connected with someone in the know. Too many telephone menus!!

Thanks Hammersmith. I would be recording the TCU game if I didn't look at that. It sucks that it's not on FSN but lucky for me I have the sports package so I get FSP.

[Hammerhead]

The Fox College Sports networks aren't on DirecTV although the game is being re-broadcast on FSN on Wednesday if you want to relive the game.

It looks like the game will be on DirectTV regionally(Ch 641), but not nationally. I guess we'll find out for sure Saturday around 6:00.

[Hammerhead]

When I use a Fargo Zip code on DirecTV to view the schedule I still see the TCU vs. Texas game.

I would guess that DirecTV uses the Metro Twin Cities feed since I was watching the channel 9 coverage of the bridge collapse when the Twins game was supposed to be on.

If you use a Fargo zip code on TV Guide, the game shows up on 641. On the DirectTV website, the zip code only applies to local channels like KVLY or KXJB; I think the national channels stay the same no matter what zip code you enter. I know I said I didn't trust TV Guide in an earlier post, but I think they're right in this case.

[THEsocalledfan]

As an FYI, I can't figure out why everone is raving about Direct TV when you can get everything they offer, except NFL Ticket, on Dish Network. Dish is also cheaper. I will be watching the game on FSN, channel 436 on Dish, and it is clearly showing up on my channel guide.

You can get a sports multipack with all the regional sports networks, just like Direct TV. I was able to watch the UC Davis game in Duluth last year due to that.

[TAILG8R]

I agree fully with THEsocalledfan

[onbison09]

OK I know I'm going to sound stupid but I am muy confused. On the linky it said the game would be on in my zip code (75093 Plano, Texas) but on DirecTV on the guide it says "Texas vs. Texas Christian". I'm sure it's some BS distribution rule that DirecTV has no control over but it still pisses me off. I'm getting the All Access so I'll be watching the game but it's just not the same. Anybody else in the Texas/ Fox Sports Net Southwest region having this problem?? (I have the sports pack so that's not the problem and the Gopher game was fine but the K-State bball game wasn't) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Hammerhead]

DirecTV shows the same game on nearly every FSN channel at 6:00 CDT. There's got to be at least a few other games going on at that same time that will be broadcast in different markets.

For what it's worth, we have DirectTV entirely for the Sunday Ticket so we can watch the Vikings out here in Oregon. I didn't even know there was a Fox College Network Atlantic/Central/Pacific until today. :-)

I have dish network, and I looked, they don't even list a channel 436, even when I bring up the one screen guide for stations I don't subscribe to. I'd even up my programing package if I could get a majority of the Bison games. Help me here, what gives?

[THEsocalledfan]

Call the 1-800 number and find out if when you get the sports multipack, if you will get 436, which is Fox Sports Net North. I got some Comcast station out of California last year that way to watch the UC Davis game. I signed up for that game only, then dropped the service and it only cost me a few bucks. Since I am in Duluth, MN, FSN North is part of my basic package so I don't have to go to the same trouble.

[Bison bison]

Added the Dish sports pack last night, having an HD receiver installed sept 17.

DIRECT TV = NFL, NHL, MLB every single game!!

[Hammersmith]

I emailed a bunch of cable companies about FSN, yesterday. I got a reply from Cableone(Fargo).


Cableone emailed me that the game will not be shown on channel 33, only channel 308.

Frankly, I don't believe them. Here's why: #1. There have been advertisements for the game to be on FSN here in Fargo on Cableone channels. #2. My cablebox programming guide seems to indicate the game will be shown. I'm still getting "To Be Announced" in all of my timeslots, but the size of those timeslots has been set. For Saturday, there is a half hour block at 6:00 followed by a large time block at 6:30. That's the setup for the NDSU game. If the Texas game was going to be carried, the large block of time would've started at 6:00 and there wouldn't have been a half hour slot.

I realize that's reading a lot into a small thing(especially since the cableboxes get their programming from TV Guide), but I guess we'll all find out who's right on Saturday evening. Again, if you're a Cableone customer living in Fargo and you want to remove all doubt that you're getting the game, you can always subscribe to the digital channels for a short time. I think they're something like $4/month plus the cost of a cablebox(which you can have when you pry it from my cold dead fingers).

[NDSU1980]

Lakes, I think I can get what I want on Dish network. As to the porn, compare it to an NDSU football game. Who has more fun, the guy sitting at home by himself watching the game, or the guy on the field participating? Sex has always been a participation sport for me.

I personally think those living in Fargo should see the game lin person, as opposed to watching it on FSN. ;)

Frankly this is way to complicated. I'm gonna watch the game that's supposed to be on FSN on FSP. Cause if I was going to watch the game on FSN I would get the Texas A&M game. Unless of course I lived further north of the Twin City Metro area. Then I could watch the game on FSN or FSP, but only if you had the extended sports package. Whew! Seriously I can't wait until we make the playoffs and our games are on ESPN. Pretty simple. Hey the games on ESPN. Great. Not ESPN North, South, East, or West. Just ESPN. or ESPN2...God it never stops.

[Hammersmith]

Yes, but it's a hell of a lot easier to record something on an analog channel(FSN 33) than on a digital one(FCS-P 308). Especially when you happen to not be home in front of your TV for some strange reason. ;)

Huh, what's easier than 'Record', 'Confirm' on a DVR?

My wife could even handle the digital to analog recording (aka VCR) recording on one of our TVs. Just make sure nobody changes the channel on the digital receiver.

[wilson]

I just moved to St CLoud, I have Charter cable, but it is not showing that the Bison game is on.

[DIGRAPPLER]

I have digital cable in Fargo and when I go to channel 33 and hit info it says LIVE Stephen F Austin vs North Dakota State. So the game is on Cable One.

[South Carolina Bison]

I believe the Bison game will be on Fox Sports North this weekend (DirecTV channel 641) in looking online at the DirecTV schedule it is showing the Texas Christian vs. Texas game on that channel. Any of you with DirecTV in Fargo please search and see what the TV listing shows for your Saturday, September 8, 2007 @ 6:30 pm.

I get the same thing here down South Carolina...Even the altnerate channel (642) is showing Texas vs TCU....

It shouldn't matter if you're watching on Directv, DishNetwork, or some cable system. If you get Fox Sports North, you will get the NDSU game Sat. night.

I checked there too but it is best to check on your cable providers website as there are multiple feeds of fox sports north. For example where I live in Maple Grove MN, I am covered by Comcast/Brooklyn Park. My onscreen tv guide says NDSU vs. SFA, however I go to comcast.com type in my zip code and on that guide it shows tcu vs. texas with fsn01 under the channel number. You cannot measure my frustration. If the game is supposed to be on FSNorth put the damn game on FSNorth. Luckly for me I subscribe to the sports package so I get extra fox sports net channels so the NDSU game is on Fox Sports Pacific.

[KC Bison]

The latest, most up-to-date info should be coming from Fox Sports North. The local cable providers may not even be aware of changes that occur at FSN. If FSN isn't providing original programming, they will use the feed from one of the other Fox regional channels. But because FSN is originating the programming from NDSU, it should be the one and only game that will come out of Fox North. The only time that wouldn't happen would be if there was some type of black out ocurring, which shouldn't happen.

[Gully]

WOW, I'm totally confused. You'd think that FSN or NDSU would issue a clarifying statement. I'll be at the game either way but I'd like to record it if it's available on my version of FSN (Comcast/Maple Grove, MN).

Yes, for FSN North (minnesota, originator)
No, for FSN North (wisconsin, the other part of FSN North)

I agree, it should be the only programming for FSN North Minnesota (carried in MN, SD, ND)

[Hammerhead]

I'm going to skip our normal Saturday evening church service just in case the game is on live. Otherwise I'd be sitting there wondering what the score is instead of paying attention to the service.

Dish Network just brought on the Big10 network as well, so that should be available for the Goofer game. It's on the basic Top 100 package was well.

[Bisonguy]

Jeremy Jorgenson will be providing the play by play, former Bison QB Mark Speral with color commentary for FSN.

Jeremy was on the Joel Heitkamp radio show and said the cameras will have 3 times the normal zoom of a typical sideline camera, so it should be a very good production.

[Hammerhead]

I know it's not the most reliable source, but wikipedia says the outstate feed for FSN north is broadcast through DirecTV. I guess I'll find out for sure in about 13 hours.

[roadwarrior]

According to a story in the Forum today, it is costing NDSU $24,000 to produce this game, including the purchase of air time from FSN. There are 36 thirty second commercial spots that NDSU gets the revenue from to offset the cost of the production. It did mention that the game will be tape delayed in the twin cities, but should be on live in all other areas that get FSN.

It did mention that the game will be tape delayed in the twin cities, but should be on live in all other areas that get FSN.

I read that too. Why is it tape delay in the Twin Cities? Don't want the Twin Cities folks to see the team that will embarass the Gophers in a few weeks?

I'm in St CLoud, Charter cable, and the game is BLOCKED. It says program NOT authorized. douchebags.

[THEsocalledfan]

Fers........

Charter also covers Duluth. Thankfully, I have Dish Network. Wonder if Charter folks here got it?

[Hammerhead]

Yes, I got to watch the game! I was wondering what might happen as the Texas A&M game was in the 2nd overtime and right at 6:30 Central time they switched over.

[bisonmike2]

I thought the broadcast team looked alot like the bison tonight. too many mistakes to leave a good impression.

[NDSUFREAK]

From watching it over on the recording it looked like a pretty good broadcast. BISON fans sounded VERY LOUD!!

[THEsocalledfan]

Agreed. I thought others on this board said these guys were good. They were about as good as the Bison were in not turning over the foorball..... And, no, Marnie Gelners brother was horrible too.

[KC_Hats]

I was surprised the game came on down here in KC. There was no indication the game would be on until at 6:30 the network switched over the NDSU. I had ALL ACCESS fired up and ready to go. It looked to be a pretty good setup as well with the radio broadcast synched with the video.

[99Bison]

Was there going to be a replay of it on FSN? Monday noon someone said?

Monday, noon CST on Fox Sports North is the replay. Haven't seen any replay on Fox College Sports Pacific.

[TheDoctor]

Anyone get a "good" (with no commercials) copy on DVD that they would like to back up???? I'd be willing to hold the back up for you. ;) ANY help would be great! ;)

[KC_Hats]

There weren't alot of commercials during the broadcast. You really didn't have much time to run to the bathroom or get food.

Working on it. My computer is old, slow and I've got 203GB of data to work through. I'll barely be done before the SHSU game.

203GB?????!!!!!!! Do you work for NORAD, or something??:D

Old. Slow.

A TiVo is about 3 times as powerful as my system. It can capture and compress the video at the same time. I have to do the two seperately. That means 1GB per minute. Yay.


Donations welcome. :D

I had FSN on at noon today. Dont know if I fell asleep or what, but after the intro to the game, and then about 7 minutes of advertising, here comes the first play of the game with the Bison kicking off. EXCEPT the score was 7-0!

Hopefully my DVR worked, I set it to record today.

[KC Bison]

I'm curious to find out who got to see the game and who didn't. Dish network came through loud and clear on FSN-North down here in Kansas City. I was a little surprised that they dumped the ending to the Texas A&M game. However, when you find out that NDSU is paying the bills, you get coverage starting right at 6:30. I did get tired of seeing the same NDSU commercial over and over again.

ON THE REPLAY, FSN RAN two consecutive Commercial breaks after the INTRO for reasons A) to get the LOCAL ND ad's out of the way before the whole game or B) they flat screwed up the first 8 minutes.


Im going with B), but I can see how A) would apply.

[badger04]

I saw the same thing. The person who edited the program must have been drunk.

Yeah they could have produced more than 1 commercial but one of the main advantages of having a game on FSN North and producing it with money out of our own pocket is to promote the team and university. Bottom line is to get student athletes they actually need to enroll in our school so if that means watchin the same NDSU ad 7 times I'm cool with it. More advertising will bring more exposure which will bring the students and better players. Better players = more wins. More wins = more exposure. More exposure means more ticket sales and games on TV which means more money in our pocket. It all works together. Pretty soon we take it to the next level and will be playing for a Championship and players will want to come here.

[BigBison]

Does anyone know if the game will be shown agian on FSN? if so what times?

Wow, that's a lot of rebroadcasts.

[Hammersmith]

Wow, that's a lot of rebroadcasts.

I think there were 2 broadcasts on FSN(1 live, one repeat) and at least 2 repeats on each of the FCS channels. Something like 8-10 showings, total.

Just got a call from someone going by the name of "Brawny man" and his boss who offered to donate a nickel. Unfortunately, there was some sort of contract involved and it was shot down before the cash transaction could take place.

[katstrapper]

so the game is going to be televised on Fox Sports Pacific? If so then I have the Comcast Sports Package with all the Fox Channels, CSTV and ESPN.

That's the SFA game. As long as you have the Fox College Sports channels (Atlantic, Central, and Pacific), you'll be able to see the rebroadcast.

I dont give a crap about SFA:ranting: I was wondering if the SHSU-NDSU game might be televised on FCS-Pacific

I'm about 99% certain that it will not. The NDSU/SHSU game will be on the North Dakota NBC network (multiple affiliates), but that's it.

[NDSUFREAK]

i recorded the game if anyone wants a DVD

[KC_Hats]

I have DirecTV here in Kansas City and right at 6:30 pm it switched midbroadcast from the Texas A&M game. I was happy to see that although I had All Access fired up with the radio broadcast synched to it ready to go.

KatStrapper, I believe you can purchase All Access from GoBison.com for one week for a fairly reasonable price. The broadcast will include the NDSU radio broadcast synched with the video webcast. Go to www.gobison.com (http://www.gobison.com) and click on All Access for details.

I'm sure you could try and find the satellite coordinates out from KVLY and see if a bar owner can run the old-fashioned satellites well enough to find the game. If it were me I would opt for the sure thing and GoBison All Access.

Someone on Katfans.com contacted KVLY and they stated they weren't using a satellite feed to distribute to the signal. The signal is distributed via microwave transmission to the other NBC affiliates.

LOL- I was thinking more along the lines of bags of popcorn.

[Hammersmith]

I'm going to be at the pizza party on Thursday and I'm bringing DVD copies of the SFA game with me. If you're going to be there and want a copy, let me know with a reply here or a PM, so I know how many to make. The donation comment earlier was a joke, so don't worry about payment. Because I buy DVD supplies in bulk for other projects, the cost of making these things is negligible. If you can't make it to the party and would like a copy, PM me with an address.


Just don't tell anyone. It'll be our little secret.

I know when we played Montana in 2003, we acquired the sattelite coordinates of the local tv station and got one of the local sports bars here in Houston to show it for us. We actually had about 100-200 people show up for the watch party. I cant believe your local NBC station is going to use microwave transmission. Ironically, maybe we should place a call the the company that owns the station, HOAK Communications--DALLAS, TEXAS.

This is definitely not uncommon for the local broadcast to be transmitted by microwave since it is only a state wide broadcast. If the Alumi had requested it to be transmitted for Satelite viewing at other locations then KVLY would probably have been able to provide you with the coordinates.

Most of the local networks either have statewide microwave, or use Prairie Public TV microwave as they have the best statewide network.

I feel sorry for you katstrapper. If I had a VCR or DVR I would record it and just send you the disc or tape.
