TV coverage

[Dub]

Forgive me if I missed something on this topic. I’m looking over my ‘23/24 schedule handed out on the back of the roster sheet from Saturday… and I see a lot of games to be shown on MVC as well as TVOE. Trying to gain clarity on what channels these actually are on if anybody knows.

I don't know what the abbreviation TVOE stands for.
The MVC designation probably refers to the MVC TV Network, which broadcasts on NBCSports Chicago Network and the Bally Sports Networks.
Here was the announcement with the list of games on the MVC TV Network- https://s3.amazonaws.com/sidearm.sites/mvc.sidearmsports.com/documents/2023/10/18/2023_24_MVC_TV_Network_Release_for_Men_s_and_Women _s_Basketball_Bally_Sports_NBC_Sports_October_18_p osting_.pdf

Games on CBS Sports Platforms- https://s3.amazonaws.com/sidearm.sites/mvc.sidearmsports.com/documents/2023/10/12/2023_24_MVC_TV_Network_Release_for_Men_s_Basketbal l_CBS_Sports_October_12_Posting_.pdf

Games on ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU/ESPN+ networks- https://s3.amazonaws.com/sidearm.sites/mvc.sidearmsports.com/documents/2023/10/11/2023_24_MVC_TV_Network_Release_for_Men_s_Basketbal l_ESPN.pdf

And finally, this MVC schedule of games is sometimes helpful in finding what games are broadcast on TV or streaming. It is sortable at the top if you only want to search for Bradley games, or by dates.
However, I notice it is not complete. Games farther into the future are less likely to have info about TV/broadcast sources, but maybe it will get updated.-- https://mvc-sports.com/calendar.aspx?path=mbball

Thanks! Very helpful.

will these games still be on ESPN+?
I'll probably tune into some BU games this season. I really like the brand of bball I saw, and none of your players acted like douchebags, so I can get behind a team like that.
Except for vs UNI. I live 45 miles from Cedar Falls, and my daughter was a cheerleader for them her freshman year, so they're my MVC team.

Almost all if not all of the games are on ESPN+. Glad you enjoyed your visit and best of luck to the Aggies the rest of the way!

great sportsmanship on display by you and your team. It was a fun contest between two teams playing hard, and we all respect Utah State after the drubbing you handed us last season. Go Aggies from here on out.

In past years, the MVC-TV Network games were blacked out in the six-state regional footprint of the networks that participate in the MVC TV Network -- Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska.
That includesNBCSports Chicago and the Bally Sports Networks- Midwest-Indiana-Kansas City-South-Southeast.

So if they continue that same policy, there may be a few Bradley games that get selected as MVC TV Network games, and those will be blacked out on ESPN+ in your area. Those games would be available on TV if you get any of the Bally Sports Networks.
However, that likely will only apply to a few Bradley games this season. Most Bradley games will not be on the MVC TV Network, and those will still be available on ESPN+.
And archived games are always available to subscribers.

Very nice to get that kind of feedback from a non-conference opponent, and I would expect nothing less from our fans!
Thanks for stopping by AGinNEIowa and come back anytime!

The only game I'm seeing no TV for is Duquesne. It specifically says no TV stream, so I assume that will not be changing? Is the LeBron James arena not set up for TV coverage or something?

[houstonbrave]

It is his high school arena so I would not be surprised that it is not set up for TV. The Duquesne coach was Le Bron’s high school coach.

It is capable of TV streaming. Duquesne played Colgate last year in the LeBron James Arena at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, and it was streamed on the CBS Sports App. But for some reason, this year, Duquesne is not streaming the game.
Here is an article announcing the TV details last year- https://www.cbssports.com/college-ba...game-29002678/
And here is an article about a game they played in 2018 against Radford that was streamed on ESPN+- https://radfordathletics.com/news/20...-in-akron-ohio

Here’s the thing: They have a streaming service for every one of my son’s 7th grade games this year. Hard to understand there are any D1 college games that are not.

Ya and the fact that they’ve announced so far ahead they aren’t doing it that game is weird. I wonder why not keeping trying; ESPN+ won’t take it?

I can’t imagine Bradley is happy they agreed to play there and they have no TV coverage.
