NU-Missouri Volleyball to be Televised Live in Omaha and Southeast Nebraska

Lincoln ? Pinnacle Sports Productions and the University of Nebraska Athletic Department have partnered to bring Husker volleyball fans next Wednesday’s matchup between No. 1 Nebraska and No. 7 Missouri from the Hearnes Center in Columbia.

Pinnacle Sports Productions is working with Cox Cable in Omaha and Time Warner Cable in Southeast Nebraska to carry the Oct. 5 match between the Huskers and Tigers. Nebraska is 12-0 overall and 4-0 in the Big 12 heading into Saturday’s match against Baylor, while Missouri enters the weekend with an unblemished 11-0 mark. The two squads are among the eight remaining unbeaten teams in Division I, and are tied for the Big 12 lead.

The match will be aired on Channel 102 on Time Warner Cable in Lincoln and Southeast Nebraska and on Channel 802 on Cox Cable in Omaha with Mike Kelly providing play-by-play and former Missouri volleyball coach Craig Sherman providing color commentary.

In addition to the television broadcast, the match will also be carried on the radio on selected Pinnacle Sports Network stations, including B107.3 FM in Lincoln, and on the Internet at Huskers.com. Pinnacle Sports Network has been carrying University of Nebraska Athletic Events for the past decade, but Wednesday’s match will be the Network’s first television broadcast.

Wednesday’s match is the first of three televised matches to be placed on local cable by Pinnacle Sports Productions this fall, as it will also carry the Oct. 11 match against in-state rival Creighton and the Oct. 12 contest against Texas Tech live from the Nebraska Coliseum. With Friday’s announcement, 12 Husker matches will be televised this season while every match can be heard on the radio and on the Internet.

Other cable outlets who are interested in televising Wednesday’s match should contact Pinnacle Sports Productions at (402) 332-0065.
