I was wondering about this too...

Exciting!! GMG

Well... that is interesting..

If it is a football announcement, then the only option would be that FSN has reached secondary rights agreement for local area distribution for CUSA games when there is not a national CUSA game..

Could potentially mean more FSN or even FS1/FS2 broadcast for UNT games we did not think we were going to get...

ColoradoEagle · August 28, 2013

I'm sure it's just the agreement to show Mean Green Insider. Hopefully they find a better time slot for it than 6 AM on Saturdays.

From the Coach Mac interview with Dale Hansen: “Nine of our twelve games are already on television.”

I interpret that to mean that he knew that the already was about to be more.

Harry · August 28, 2013

Hmmmmm, the anticipation is killing me...

Most of our games - like 9 of them are already televised - so either FoxSW is picking up the remaining 3 games or perhaps this could be a coaches show or something like that which would be VERY cool and great for exposure, recruiting etc.. Just thinking out loud here...

Surprised Georgia game hasn't been picked up by ESPN yet

I sure hope this is why I can't find any UNT content on the mean green access or C-USA network. Still you would think they are a bit last second on this.

golfingomez · August 28, 2013

please let this be as great as it sounds

golfingomez · August 28, 2013

worst case scenario... it SHOULD mean UNT is getting a new revenue stream

KRAM1 · August 28, 2013

More good things happening for the Mean Green! Excellent! Thanks to all who had a hand in seeing so many more of UNT's games being shown on TV...should be a nice help in recruiting as well!

Perhaps it is a one hour special about the helmet shirt / hat.

Actually, I'd have absolutely no problem with this. I DVR it anyway and would be glad to have it on an HD channel.

Do you really think the channel being in HD will change anything about how the show is made? This is UNT; I'm just thankful it's in color.

GRN-WHT · August 28, 2013

The FSSW schedule is already full of games on Saturdays, so unless they put them on the FSSW Plus channel, I don't see them picking up any extra FB games of ours.

It also could be similar to the 3rd tier rights deal like we did with TXA21. Maybe a FB game or 2 if FSSW really needs the programming, but I can see a deal including a handful of MBB games, 1-2 WBB games and maybe a soccer or softball game sprinkled in.

Scratch that. http://meangreenblog.dentonrc.com/2013/08/unt-fans-about-to-see-a-whole-lot-more-about-unt.html/

I really liked the SMU series they did. Looking forward to this one.

This will be HUGE for local/regional PR and awareness....IF WE WIN

Oh, yeah, forgot about that. Are we SURE it's gonna' be in color? Maybe as an homage to our 1950s era teams it'll be B/W.

what channel is this on currently? I have Uverse.

gksmith · August 30, 2013

Checking with KTXA to see if they are airing it on Saturday mornings again. FCS Central showed it earlier in the week (Wed?) last year. If it can move to FSSW that will be fantastic. Right now I do not show it on any listings.
