an interesting note on shaggy bevo

I think this is a big deal. It may offset the fact that the SLC market isn't as

yep

Psst... UCONN isn't in the NYC market.

UCONN has a huge presence in New York. It would have made more sense for

That's fine, but they aren't in the NYC market. They are in the Hartford market.

I realize that, but I've seen a lot of talk about them delivering a portion of

Not real talk. I truly doubt UCONN makes much of a dent in NYC.

I hear you. Definitely not for football anyway.

UConn only moves the needle weakly in CT itself

Gustav

they do move the needle in NYC for BB...which is more important in NYC than FB

People will watch them -- if they're good and if NYC has nothing better going

Rutgers doesn't make much of a dent in NYC either.

gwalker

2/5/16 3:16pm

I agree, but they are actually IN the NYC market. That makes a difference.

UConn doesn't have a huge following anywhere. They can't even draw 25K people

If UConn could have got a network on basic cable in NYC

UConn does not have a "huge" presence in NYC. That's laughable.

In my experience, people in CT are more NFL fans than anything else

Gustav

2/5/16 3:30pm

but is it enough to get a channel on Tier 1 in the Tri-state area?

Nat Gas Man

2/5/16 3:32pm

Good question. I have no idea

Gustav

2/5/16 3:38pm

I doubt it

Yes, UConn in the northeast is a little like San Jose St. in the Bay...

I can't recall ever seeing a UCONN game playing in NY

well they did add UVU

Nat Gas Man

They did play Army in Yankee Stadium in 2014 for whatever that's worth.

Yeah but...Women's BB champs! Geno Auriemma and all that ya know!

ol' Blue Eyes

Yup. I'd like to see them try a dynamic pricing schedule in West Coast markets.

BYU can pull the SLC, and possibly LV and Phoenix markets, with so many LDS in all 3 places.

I still think a major selling point the TV providers will use is the ability to

And there's so much less competition that way

on Landtheives they think OU is a goner

UCONN TV viewership would be part of the "Tri-State Area."

It wasn't hyperbole when Tom said BYUtv would be an asset.
