BYU TV Schedule on the MTN for San Diego State Game

BYU announced the TV schedule for the BYU and San Diego State football game tomorrow.

Listed below are comprehensive broadcast plans for the BYU vs. SDSU football game on Saturday, Oct. 7. The game is schedule for noon (MT) with live distribution on THE MTN. — a regional sports network dedicated to comprehensive sports coverage of the Mountain West Conference.

In addition to normal MTN. television distribution, a pay-per-view option and live video streaming have been added for the BYU vs. SDSU game.

AVAILABILITY ON TELEVISION

THE MTN. is available in dozens of communities in Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho and New Mexico and on numerous cable systems including Comcast and Bresnan. To find out how to get THE MTN. in your area, check your local listings, call your cable operator or visit http://themtn.cstv.com/how/.

PAY-PER-VIEW. The game will also be available as a special pay-per-view television offering in most major cable systems around the country through a partnership with iN DEMAND.

Unfortunately, the pay-per-view option will not be available in the following markets:
– The states of Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, and Colorado
– The communities of San Diego; Las Vegas; Dallas; Ft. Worth, Texas; Cheyenne-Scotts Bluff, Nebraska; and the Rapid City market.

This really sucks for me. It looks like the mtn. is failing in its negotiations with the monopolistic Cox cable here in Las Vegas. If I were USD TV I would find a way to get the mtn on USD TV and use that as a way to make in roads into the Las Vegas market. I’m sure they could get 1000’s of customers by doing so. Not just because of BYU fans. In fact, probably even more important is UNLV fans would love to have the mtn to watch UNLV football on the mtn.

Until then I guess we’ll just keep enjoying the winning we’ve been enjoying.
