| MTSU will benefit from having their football games on the American Network |
Yesterday the American Sports Network announced they will produce 30 Conference USA games this year over the course of the 2015-2016 football season. The 30 games match the amount of games the American Network produced last year for the conference.(American Network announces Conference USA Football broadcast games)link
It is all but certain that the American Network will play an important role in the new Conference USA contract that the conference needs to sign this year. It also seems likely that the American Network will replace CBS ( traditionally a strong Conference USA network partner) on some level for Conference USA going forward. Stay tuned
My local affiliate in Hattiesburg, Miss., states that they are waiting for ASN to give them the broadcast dates of the games ASN will make available in our area. Is there any reason ASN wouldn't make every game available to the local affiliates? I guess I'm confused on this part of the process, especially after last season where only two of the ASN broadcasts were shown here. I'd like to have the option of watching more C-USA football this season.
ReplyDeleteGreg, My understanding is that ASN has chosen to give the option of not showing games if the local affiliate can make more from revenue putting some else in that time slot.
ReplyDeleteOK. That makes some sense. Thanks!
