I'm not an expert on the subject. I just figured since its listed the same on the Cyclone site I would find it on the same channel. But I get it now... Damn.

Like I said, complain to KCRG and KFXA so that they know that people are watching and that it REALLY pisses them off when they don't televise ISU.

mediacom guide shows it to be aired on channel 185 on expanded cable, but it says it has 8pm start, so who knows for sure.:confused:

I went to the YES network website and it shows the game listed as an 8PM eastern time start. I think the Mediacomm guide is off an hour for the YES network.

So KCRG doesn't want it, but Cedar Falls utilities steps up? That helps me, but I don't understand some of the decisions made.

Does ISU have any influence on this? Can they require a provider to show all Big12 games in order to bid for CTN and football? I just want one station to get all games to avoid these questions of where the game is.

Except when mediacom picks up the game.

It's still BS that people in eastern Iowa have to put up with this crap. It's like they are afraid to **** off Hawk fans and they will boycott their station. Also significant number of ISU alumni in CR.

It does confuse me that KCRG can't just bump the game to 9.3. That seems like such an obvious idea, that it makes me think there must be some sort of complicated TV contract mumbo-jumbo I don't understand that prevents this from happening.

For one, if you have Mediacom cable you don't get 9.3.

I live in DSM, but this is just F'n stupid that it's not shown in Cedar Rapids. Seriously...this needs to be the next thing that changes around the state. Just utter BS and there is no reason, none, ZERO for it not to be shown.

I would raise hell beyond belief if I lived over there. Thankfully, I do my best to never get East of Newton for this very reason.

Ridiculous and pathetic on the part of the affiliates over there.

Agreed. I know there are more hawks over there, but there are still a good number of cyclones in that part of the state. Plus, there are hawks that will watch our games, just as there are clones that will watch theirs. It makes zero sense for them not to air it other than some manager at the station doing it out of spite.

I have the Sport Pack add on so get YES Network, has anyone heard if it is really being delayed an hour or if it is just a guide mistake?
