Tv schedule?

kinda weird that we are less than 2 weeks away from the opener and still dont have a tv schedule. I would think this is something that should have been made public weeks ago.

Jan. 3___@ Wichita State______Comcast Channel 74
Jan. 9___@ Missouri State_____Comcast Channel 74
Jan. 12__@ Northern Iowa______ESPNU
Jan. 16__vs. Missouri State___Comcast Channel 74
Jan. 20__@ Southern Illinois__Comcast Channel 74
Jan. 23__vs. Evansville_______WTVP-47
Jan. 27__vs. Creighton________Comcast Channel 74
Jan. 30__@ illinois state_____FSN
Feb. 2___vs. Drake____________WTVP-47

Feb. 9___vs. illinois state___Comcast Channel 74
Feb. 13__vs. Northern Iowa____FSN
Feb. 16__@ Indiana State______Comcast Channel 74

Looks like all conference road games will be televised, with the exception of the last game of the season at Creighton.

Does anyone know the television situation for the games in Las Vegas? It would also be nice if the Iowa State game was available.
 
I have heard that there is a chance other games, like the Las Vegas games, could still be added. Negotiations are still going on.
 
It sure would be nice to have that iowa state and creighton game on tv. While I understand Bradley has come a long way in televising games, I just dont understand why every road game isnt on tv. There is also no excuse if that creighton game isnt televised. They have been the best team in the league for years and it should be televised.
 
The simple answer is that someone else owns the TV rights.
Comcast wanted to televise all the road games and several home games.
Example- I have heard they are still negotiating with the people who own the rights to the Las Vegas games, but those people want to sell all 4 games as a package, and are asking an outrageous fee. Comcast has even considered going in on a deal with other TV stations from Champaign, Utah, and Oklahoma State to share the costs and TV feed, but that gets complicated and hasn't been worked out. Plus, travel costs and expenses are prohibitive when they have to televise games that far away, and spread out over a couple days.

Bradley fans need to appreciate what we have. Bradley will have more of their games on local TV than nearly any other midmajor in the country, and I have heard the new webcast package, which is yet to be revealed, will be as good as anyone's.

And you're gonna tell me that Coach V couldn't float the entire crew himself?:cool:


Oh, and not having the NIU game is not great either since its on a Wed. and I don't think I can make that trip up north.

But as you stated, we really should be happy with what we're getting.


I do agree w/ some though that have stated before...BU basketball needs a broader base than just a small portion of Central IL. They need to figure out how to get these games on in Lincoln, Springfield, Decatur, and so on...

How much $ we talkin, when you say an outrageous fee? Just wondering.
 
There were a couple games on ESPN360 (including the BB vs. Loyola) unannounced last year.

The Iowa State game was picked up by their local provider Mediacom and has also been included in ESPN's Full Court package, the only Bradley game on that roll.

The game vs. BYU is on the Mount which can be accessed with a satellite. For those without, a number of Mount games have been picked up by the VS. network in the past so if you get that you might check the local listings as game day gets closer.
 
..every time I checked the past few years, ESPN Full court games also showed up on ESPN 360 for free*...

Any chance they might wind up on JusinTV or ChannelSurfing?
 
Potentially yes. A lot of that depends on where you're at, what you're watching, how it is being accessed, and where it's hosted from. I always say play it safe.

So if the Bradley/BYU game winds up on ChannelSurfing, and I just happen to watch some of it, I am the criminal. :lol: (I usually don't watch Bradley online, I prefer to listen to Snell)
 
I watch my players from fantasy football all the time on Jusin TV. I've watched everything from some guy standing in front of his tv with a camera to actual live feeds. Hey, I dont know about you guys, but I'll do whatever I can to watch that BYU game criminalistic or not.
