WDAY gets NDSU Football/Media contract

[tjbison]

I'd be shocked for NDSU is not on ESPN3/+ for football. They seem happy with the nationwide distribution and the eyeballs drop would be huge if they went away from that. Zero percent chance that happens.

MVFC has a deal with ESPN3/+ plus so they will be on those channels, i dont see how they cant

pls confirm no more timmerman

Hes an employee of KFYR, so unless he were to get hired away, hes done.

The news reports at the time heavily implied Flag would start by managing it, then eventually buy it. Don't know where they are right now in that process.

correct, all the radio will eventually go to South Fargo in the FLAG family building and over time WDAY will belong to the FFM group. They are maintaining the WDAY call signs..this is all from what I have been told we all know shit can change though

I think we all could agree, For now we can work with that. God forbid he enters the Transfer Portal and WDAY picks him up

This is great news. Chance of watching a game on Midco for me is basically zero. I'll have to figure out how to stream WDAY Extra but at least it's possible. The bigger games for BB can be moved to regular WDAY. As far as football goes, the KVLY production was really mediocre. Not as bad as we made it out to be but NDSU deserved better. I'm also glad this is staying LOCAL, which is very important.

I think this is bad news for us in Western ND who only have OTA. Pretty sure ABC is not available over the air in Dickinson and Williston. Can someone confirm this for me? If so this is a major fail by NDSU and WDAY!

According to this site, there is no ABC station on the airwaves in Dickinson.

I wonder if this could potentially change game time? Selfishly, I would love to have evening games again...

Post of the year.

KBMY should reach Dickinson/Williston

Yes. We have alumni all over the country and world. I watch them all the time as does gully as does Bison teach as does etc, etc who do not live in ND. When you are a land grant school, you will always have a following.

Count me in the group who watches from Florida and several more I know in Arizona...so yeah a local streaming option would suck huge.

Shawn on the pxp, Izzo as color and Kolpack on the sidelines would be a major upgrade. If Mcfooly is involved with any of the fee based broadcast stuff they won't see a dime from me.
