Nebraska Baseball Big 12 Opener On TV Thursday;NET - Not Cox - Will Carry Six Husker Games

Posted: March 15th, 2007, 12:11am CDT

Thursday's Big 12 Conference opener between the Nebraska baseball team and Texas Tech will be telecast live in Lincoln, Omaha and Grand Island.

In Omaha, the game will be carried on WOWT's digital carrier ("H20"), which is Cox Channel 248. In Lincoln and Grand Island, the game will be on MyTV, which in Lincoln is Time Warner Channel 110, Charter Channel 17 in Grand Island and DirecTV Channel 25 in both cities. The game will also be carried nationally on Fox College Sports.

On Wednesday, the University of Nebraska also announced that Nebraska baseball will return to the Nebraska Educational Television network. Five baseball games and one Husker softball contest will be carried live on NET this spring. On-air talent for those broadcasts has not yet been announced.

All six will also telecast in high definition on NET-HD, while the baseball games will be carried live on NET1 and the softball game will be telecast on NET2.

Last year's partnership between the University and Cox Communications came under fire because it did not provide statewide coverage of Nebraska baseball games. At the time, Nebraska Associate Athletic Director Chris Anderson said the broadcasts on Cox would provide the University with a unique opportunity to market its programs to new audiences utilizing cable.

"This will continue to increase the visibility of our nationally-ranked baseball program and could provide a new revenue stream in the future," Anderson was quoted as saying.
