    Re: Rob Hipp named voice of the Bison

    The only former player I've ever seen do play by play was Dan Fouts. And he was decades into his broadcasting career when he switched to do that. And, he wasn't doing NFL anymore, he was doing...

    Re: EWU BOard to consider fate of EWU athletics

    The only D3 conference in the Northwest is a Private school only conference, so that was never, ever a realistic option either. The D2 GNAC board is filled with people questioning why that was even...

    Re: WDAY gets NDSU Football/Media contract

    That is correct. The only time Dickinson and Williston ever had OTA ABC was when Forum let others run KBMY/KMCY for them. For a while in the first decade of the 2000s, the owners of the Bismarck...

    Re: A new and better FBS thread

    I always laugh whenever I remember that Jim McMahon went to BYU. Seems like the completely opposite personality than someone who would want to go there.

    The scaled down Dave and Busters are going into Sioux Falls, which has a "metro" population of 265,653. Fargo's not that far behind at 245,471.

    The story on the scaled down locations like Sioux...

    Re: FINAL Bracketology

    You guys realize that is the first day of the NFL playoffs, right? They will want to be sure this game is over before the first wildcard game starts, so they have to start it early enough to ensure...

    Re: 1660am rebranding to "The Bison."

    No, there are no formal changes to their broadcasting signal lately. But I do notice a couple of things with farther away signals, as I sometimes listen to 740 from Fargo in Mandan.

    1)If they...

    Re: Watch ESPN/ ESPN + streaming

    The real question to me is the Playoff coverage. I'm guessing that would stay ESPN3 as that is separate than the conference agreements and the NCAA should want maximum possible viewers for those...

  11. Re: Expanded football pre game show, Cole Jirik to join team!

    I am a Nebraska Cornhusker fan, and used to marvel at the day-long schedule their radio network makes available for their games. NDSU is pretty close to matching that now.

    Anyone old enough to remember NDSU and UND being D2 are going to have their D1 school they cheered for back then. And just because NDSU/UND went D1 doesn't mean they change their allegiance just...

    University of Mary has 49 North Dakota players and won only one game all year. Minot won 3. So two extremes regarding North Dakota recruiting between those two teams, with pretty much the same...

    Re: Bison 1660 now being simulcast on 92.7 FM

    This is actually becoming a pretty big thing nation-wide, adding a low power FM to rebroadcast AM stations.
    The biggest help is in office buildings, as it is harder for AM to get through those,...

    Re: Carson Wentz

    Technically, the NFL and the network (FOX/CBS) make the initial assignment of the games each affiliate gets, and then each station can make a request to be switched, which may or may not be granted. ...

    Re: New Voice of the Bison?????

    At least that's still close to the school's name. Unlike Mack Brown who started calling them Georgia Southern in the middle of the game.
  19. Re: University of Jamestown to the Great Plains Athletic Conference

    That the main question - what do the Nebraska teams think, and do they really want that travel? That is where they might not get approved when the vote comes up.

    Re: 1660am rebranding to "The Bison."

    You can't really compare the power of an FM vs AM station, that is apples to oranges. AM will travel farther on less power than FM, especially a lower number AM. KFYR 550 from Bismarck can hit...

    Re: Media Deals Inked

    They have 4 channels on their over the air signal. They carry Minnesota PBS on one of them which includes Bemidji state hockey.

    NBC only shows Notre Dame home games, so they don't have a game to show every week, and usually a couple seem to be night games which wouldn't conflict. So in the end it is only a handful of games...
