The last two years were played on Sunday against the NFL. That took away a lot of viewers that might have watched more of the FCS game, but your NFL team is a higher priority for many people. Monday...

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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
This is the last year of baseball there, both baseball and softball are getting the budget cut treatment after this year. Hard to get players to come in when the program is in the last year, so...
No, they dropped it in North Dakota too.
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...
The Eagles were 12th in the NFL at points allowed.
ESPN has a really good/quick stats page where you can sort all teams to see how they rank in different catagories...
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...
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,...
I see four weeks that would have a Vikings conflict. Weeks 9, 10, 14, 17. Week 15 is the only Green Bay conflict, Green Bay at Chicago - I don't know if they would take Eagles at Ravens over that...
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. ...
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.
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.
I've heard second and third hand...
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...
They have 4 channels on their over the air signal. They carry Minnesota PBS on one of them which includes Bemidji state hockey.
I think that's also where they could have fit NDSU in - they could...
South Dakota State games are carried on 570 out of Yankton, which has a huge signal and reaches North Dakota. Even at night.
Not sure exactly which Iowa station they were referring to, but I know...
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...
If you go back to the 80s/90s, the Run and Shoot was originally 4 WR, QB under center. This is what Houston ran when Warren Moon was there, and Detroit for most of Barry Sanders' career. U of...
