  • What Comcast is the SIU vs. Bradley game

    I watched the NIU/SIU on Comcast last night.

    One of the commentators mentioned that they would be doing the SIU/Bradley game at Beautiful Carver Arena.

    I know that many of the games are produced by our local Comcast and are available through comcast/mediacom cable in Peoria/Bloomington.

    I have Dishnetwork and the Comcast on there is different than the one that produces the Bradley games.

    So my long winded question is......what Comcast is the Bradley vs. SIU game on?

    The SIU game at BU (Dec. 28 ) will not be on the local Comcast station that does many of the games (Comcast channel 74). In fact, it will not be shown on any local stations in Peoria or Chicago areas as far as I know.

    It may sound a little confusing, but that SIU-NIU game last night did not originate from Comcast.
    Comcast picked up the broadcast of that game as a one-time agreement from Mediacom.
    Mediacom has the rights to a number of SIU games and broadcasts them to southern Illinois.
    It works like that often with sports broadcasts. In a similar way, a station in Richmond Virginia picked up the Comcasts broadcast of the game in Ft. Myers between BU and Richmond, and they got to listen to Frank Bussone and Dick Versace. When Bussone and Versace promoted their next game on the broadcast, the people in Virginia would hear that, but they aren't going to get to see it.
    The BU-SIU game will be broadcast by Mediacom back to Carbondale, but in that case, I don't think Comcast or any other station has agreed to pick up that game.

    Since Mediacom will use a satellite link to broadcast the game back to Carbondale, it's possible some satellite systems might allow you to find and watch the game.

    Here is SIUs schedule- click on the small TV icon next to the Dec. 28 BU game-

      Thanks Da Coach,

      I am impressed with your in depth knowledge of how all of this works.
