Big Blue Madness televised where? (Please tell me not ESPNU...)

by chirop1 on Oct 15, 2009 3:03 PM EDT Comment 11 comments

I'm almost positive that I heard on ESPN radio last night that BBM is being carried on ESPNU. Please... please... please tell me this isn't true! In years past, I have watched it live on WAVE 3 out of Louisville. I would hate to miss it because Comcast and ESPN are still in a pissing contest...

I did see the link below in the FanShots that its available online, but its not the same as watching on TV. It will be a travesty if I was able to watch the schedule revealed on local television but BBM is only carried by the World Wide Leader.

UKAA is saying it will also be on

the Big Blue Sports Network, which is WKYT in Lexington, I think. I believe I heard WKYT say earlier today that they would be covering it starting at 7:30pm :-)

Blue... there is no other color to Bleed !!!

Hrmmm...

Well I should be able to get that.

I’m just worried because I couldn’t get the UK/UofL game at home because it was on ESPNU. Pretty sad, because I carry a pretty robust cable package.

Of course its difficult, its a shortcut... if it was easy it'd just be "the way."

Where are you located?

UK/UL was shown on local channels in KY.

That's what I thought too

Turns out it was Insight Cable customers out of Louisville that had the game. Those of us south of the metro area with Comcast still got hosed.

BBM Coverage.

chirop, you are so right about the quality of watching games on the computer versus the television. There really is no comparison as far as I’m concerned. Streaming is all fine and good in a pinch, but if you have the chance to watch something on television, my goodness, it’s a no-brainer, TV is so much better.

Although the following info doesn’t do you any good, chirop, for those who might want to watch on television and are outside BBSN reach and have ESPNU, this might be helpful…….

In regards to the Worldwide Leader televising BBM, I did some checking and all I could find on the ESPN-family schedule was that ESPNU and ESPN2 would be showing "Midnight Madness". It doesn’t specify exactly which schools Midnight Madness they will be showing, but the times listed are 9:00pm-1:00am on ESPNU, and 11:30pm-12:00am on ESPN2 (those times are EST).

I’m not too sure if either of those channels will actually end up showing UK’s Madness and if they do it certainly won’t be live seeing as how our Madness starts at 7:30pm EST and their coverage doesn’t start until 9:00pm EST, but that’s where I will be tuning it to try to catch it. Wish me luck! : )

My understanding is that

ESPNU’s “Midnight Madness,” tomorrow from 9pm to 1am, will flip between nine different program’s madness events – Kentucky, Connecticut, Duke, Georgetown, Kansas, Michigan State, North Carolina, North Dakota State and Washington.

Those in Lexington will get all of BBM shown locally. Others will either have to deal with the internet or put up with ESPNU’s programming.

BBM Coverage (Internet)

Hey folks, my job is taking me to Illinois for the weekend. Does anyone know if BBM will be streamed? If so, what site?

Thanks.

Fox Sports South

According to UKathletics.com, FSS will rebroadcast BBM tomorrow at 4:00 am, but according to directv, FSS is showing air racing, whatever that is. Does anyone know anything about this? It is channel 647 (646 HD), correct? Someone help me out so I can record it and watch it tomorrow.
