Any Word on BU TV Package?

[Braveman]

Any local tv- What is BU gonna do?

I talked with KK at the ISC smoker a little bit about this. He assured me that they have some things in the works to get as many BU games on as possible. Currently they are working with WTVP and he thinks they will pick up a game or two this year. (it's not much but it's a start) He also mentioned that the BU vs. Iowa game will be aired by CSTV. The second game in SPI will not be carried due to CSTV's contract to carry a football game at the same time BU will be playing. He also told me that BU vs. Creighton in March is a MVC network option game on "MVC Wildcard Weekend". If this is the best or most attractive game that weekend in the MVC, which KK thinks it will be, it will also be televised. His goal is to have all BU away games on TV in the near future (won't be this year) and they are still working on this. Hope this helps.....

Go Braves!

Chucky T, do you have any idea how this impacts the BUTV package? I have already signed back up and was hoping that they have a way to carry the games via internet without the WEEK deal?

[Chucky T's]

sorry mex.....I forgot to ask what kind of impact this would have on the BU network. I would hope this will not limit the number of games offered but at this time I don't know.

Thanks Chucky T, if you hear something let me know.

I have also talked to someone "in the know", and was told to let the fans know they will be happy with the result of this year's TV deal.

But they just can't release any information on it yet.

I thought that for, at least, local games, the BU network was supposed to use the Civic Center cameras (That the Civic Center already has for the replay board and concession TV's) with the WMBD radio feed for audio.

I just hate it when you (and Tornado) post stuff like this.... you pompous know-it-all's.



I'm just kidding DC. I am glad you shared this info and I look forward to hearing the news - it is nice just knowing something good is coming.

You mean you're just kidding about the "know it all part"?

It's great to hear that there is a goal to get all the BU away games televised. I'm sure thats a daunting task but I for one, and I'm assuming just about all other BU fans will appreciate the effort.

Regarding the bubraves.com webcasted games, I'm pretty sure that they are independent of the television broadcasts. Like one of the previous posters said, the cameras are the civic center cameras for the scoreboard. You can tell by the graphics they use for the scores. Definitely not the same as the ones used for WEEK.

Anyway, I'm glad to hear that something is in the works to get the away games broadcasted.
