Lincoln -- The Kansas-Nebraska football game on Saturday, Oct. 2 will be telecast live via pay-per-view on participating cable systems in the Midwest.
Fans interested in purchasing the telecast should contact their cable provider for ordering information and pricing. Suggested retail price for the 6:00 PM CT telecast from Lincoln, Neb., is $29.95.
The game is being televised on pay-per-view because it was not selected for over-the-air broadcast or cable television coverage. Under Conference TV rules, games not picked up for regular television distribution can only be televised live on pay-per-view.
Participating cable and satellite providers will offer the telecast to their customers on a specially designated pay-per-view channel. Big 12 Special Order Sports, FSN’s pay-per-view division, will produce and distribute the telecast. The telecast will not pre-empt FSN’s regularly scheduled programming.
Dave Armstrong (play-by-play) and former Kansas City Chiefs cornerback/current NFL on FOX analyst Jayice Pearson (analyst) call the action, with FSN Midwest’s John Kelly as sideline reporter.
A list of programming providers that have agreed to offer the telecast follows. Additional providers will be announced later this week. Further details will be posted on Huskers.com, kuathletics.com and FOXSports.com on MSN (search: Midwest) as they become available.
