Lincoln ? Nebraska volleyball fans will have two additional opportunities to watch the top-ranked Huskers over the next two weeks, as a pair of road contests have been selected for regional or national television broadcast.
Nebraska’s match against No. 17 Missouri on Oct. 11 from Columbia will be carried throughout the Midwest on FSN Midwest. In Lincoln, the match will be available on Time Warner Cable Ch. 37, while fans in Omaha can watch the match on Ch. 47. For satellite dish owners, the match will be shown on Ch. 647 (DirecTV) and Ch. 418 (Dish Network). For complete listings in other areas across the Midwest, contact your local cable operator or satellite provider.
It is the first of two appearances on FSN Midwest, as the Oct. 25 match against Missouri will also be shown live, beginning at 7:30 p.m.
The Big 12 Conference also announced Saturday that Nebraska’s match with No. 11 Texas on Oct. 18 in Austin will be shown nationally on ESPNU (DirecTV Ch. 609; Dish Ch. 148). Currently, the only way to receive ESPNU in either Lincoln or Omaha is with a satellite dish, and fans are encouraged to contact their local cable provider to request ESPNU.
It will be the Huskers’ third appearance on ESPNU in the last two years, as Nebraska’s 2005 regional title match and NCAA semifinal match were both carried on the network. ESPNU also has exclusive coverage of all four NCAA Volleyball Regional Championship matches, as well as live coverage of this year’s national semifinals in Omaha from a sold-out Qwest Center OMAHA.
With these additions, a total of nine Husker regular-season telecasts have been selected for regional or national broadcast during the 2006 season, giving the Husker volleyball program one of the best television packages in the country.
