About CableOne and their thoughts, from the Fargo (FCC) newspaper:
CableOne picked up UND’s full television schedule of 40 live events last year – events that were produced through the Fighting Sioux Sports Network.
Just as with FSSN, CableOne will now have the option of carrying the Midcontinent-produced UND content.
“I can’t see that (UND) would make any dramatic changes to prevent us from picking it up again, mostly for the benefit of the UND fan,” CableOne general manager Scott Geston said. “We will look at it like we do with everything else and make a determination after we get the paper work.”
Geston estimated CableOne will make a decision by late summer or early fall on whether they will pick up the television package.
Time to blow past the small-time attitude.
If you wore the uniform...you're a champion.
FCC would have to agree for all games to be on WDAY as well as WDAZ/KBMY/KMCY. If not, FCC may not be worth it. If they agree to that, FCC may be the better option, cause of HD, and because most people think the people who run FCC are stupid, but they aren't as stupid as the people who run Hoak.

I think the writing is on the wall. No facts but an educated guess says...
KVLY is buttering up by televising the spring game on statewide TV. Its not a coincidence WDAY rolled out HD. FCC doesnt have any contracts with any area teams and has much to offer including an airplane for road production.. It makes logical sense. The Bison will be back on WDAY. It was our D2 home for 50 years. Hopefully its our D1 home for the next 50 years.
Heres my prediction...
Radio stays with 790/740
TV goes to WDAY statewide in HD. They produce a few road games. A few games on FSN North. Possibly the USD game on Midco . Craig Bohl show back on WDAY/WDAZ

17X National Champions: 65, 68, 69, 83, 85, 86, 88, 90, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 21

NDSU getting Radio Fargo-Moorhead to dump North Dakota was major coup for them. I still get pissed about that every time I see the gap in Joel Heitkamp's teeth.
Just to clarify, WDAY radio is only an affiliate of North Dakota's broadcast network, they don't do any production.
I'm not intending to be argumentative, just that when you mentioned Watertown, it reminded me of 2008, when I went to Vermillion to the Sioux-Yote game. We spent the night before in Watertown, and when I walked into the hotel lobby, they had the Sioux hockey game on vs. Wisconsin on the TV. I thought that was kind of cool at the time.
I also would not trade 45 cable telecasts for 6 state-wide network telecasts. Every home football and hockey game will be on TV this year. That's pretty good.
Ofcourse the hockey game was on in the hotel lobby, you guys were playing in town. Hotels cater to their guests, especially when there is a group in town. I talked to AG1 yesterday, trust me, no one cares about hockey....
