Football Games on TV

<p>This is a minor gripe, but is anyone else here in the dorms frustrated that the Cal game isn't on TV? An away game earlier this year wasn't broadcast either.</p>

<p>I know we got an e-mail saying that we could watch a feed of the game at the stadium, but I'd like to have the option of watching them here, too.</p>

<p>The game isn't being broadcast anywhere in the nation, other than on the Memorial stadium monitor, the washington state monitor, and in the box for the refs at the game. I'm not sure why the last one wasn't broadcast. It's somewhat frustrating. Complain to comcast, espn, abc, fox sports, and a few others.</p>

<p>Just because networks exist doesn't mean they will show games.</p>

<p>I probably shouldn't have made it sound like it's Berkeley's fault that the networks aren't showing it. </p>

<p>I suppose I'm spoiled, though, in that all UCLA games were broadcast on Fox Sports West if not on national television.</p>

<p>It's WSU's fault actually. They have some kind of TV contract with Fox Sports (I think) that disallows Comcast from showing it, even though it isn't being broadcast at all--something like that.</p>

<p>The game against Oregon State wasn't broadcast because Oregon State sucks too much.</p>

<p>Actually the WSU game was supposed to be shown on some random advertisement channel that Comcast has, but the game would have to be moved to a later time. WSU wouldn't move it due to their numerous homecoming events during the day and therefore we have no game. It's all WSU's lousy homecoming's fault.</p>

<p>actually the game would have ended up on comcast sports net, which we dont even get in the dorms. its channel 400 or something on my cable system at home.</p>

<p>"Cal Athletics and its local television partner, Comcast Sports Net, explored the possibility of televising this weekend's game, but due to Washington State's contractual restrictions for broadcasts within the state of Washington, the game will not be televised."</p>
