Wish the local Fox affiliate here in the D was carrying the BG game...

Any word on if this will be shown or be on PPV here in Columbus? I've emailed Time Warner, I checked their listings and it doesn't look good.

If you can get the ESPN Gameplan games, you should be set. Normally runs about $15 per game if you don't get the full package. I normally do because my girlfriend is a huge Gamecock fan and it is about the only way she can watch the games in Cleveland.

We're going to have two TVs side by side on the 4th...one with BG vs OU and the other one watching Carolina destroy Vandy. Of course BG will be showing on the 35" screen.

Just got an answer from Time Warner Columbus, apparently Thursday is when we'll know for sure if BG v. OU is going to be on. I assume it will be due to it's being covered by ABC. Either way, here is the info that TW Col sent me, FYI.

ESPN Game Plan game can be viewed as a season long package or on a per
Saturday basis.

The ESPN GamePlan schedule is developed on a WEEKLY basis after the
various broadcast networks, national cable networks, regional sports
networks, and local broadcast stations have made their game selections.
While this “on-the-fly” scheduling poses marketing and administrative
challenges, it also ensures that our customers will see the strongest,
most meaningful match-ups in the weekly package. In all, ESPN GamePlan
will deliver more than 150 games (up to 12 games per week) during the 2004
season!

Each Thursday during the season, ESPN will provide us with a list of games
available in our region and tell us which of these games will be carried
by our local ABC affiliate, WSYX (CH. 6). Games carried locally by our
ABC affiliate cannot be shown on Pay-Per-View as part of ESPN GamePlan and
will be blacked out.

The ESPN GamePlan schedule is developed on a weekly basis and as a result,
cannot be included in the monthly Channel Guide. Instead, game specifics
will be communicated to customers each week via:

· On-screen guides

· Customer Service channel

· TWCOL.com web site

Customers can purchase ESPN GamePlan
