WDAY gets NDSU Football/Media contract

ba bye KVLY wow, this is a shocker if I do say so myself.

ba bye MIDCO! (ndsu mens/womens basketball on WDAY XTRA) which isn't great, but it's free broadcast tv.

I'm not totally surprised since WDAY/The Forum already fly reporters to away games for pregame/postgame shows and are probably looking for ways to keep their brand going with the struggles newspapers and even local TV news have been experiencing.

right now, you know the owners & 4-5 higher ups are UND grads right?

and WDAY Xtra reaches no one.

and mcfooly is still holding on there somehow

So apparently WDAY took out the clause from their last RFP that said if the football team won less than 8 games in a season they wouldn't have to pay NDSU as much for TV rights???

WDAY xtra is on Midco. I don't know about other cable or satellite providers.

I find it interesting that the announcement says they will broadcast 8 to 11 football games per year. I get that usually one game is the MVFC game of the week and exclusive to ESPN3, but what about the other two? Does it give them an out to not broadcast two road games a year? If so, that sucks!

NDSU(Learfield) controls the announcers and the production.
