Liberty folks, perhaps you can correct me if I am wrong, but I believe you said ESPN3 had all your games covered for the year. I looked at their schedule and did not see this game. Is that correct? Thanks for the heads up. (Either way it's free on BSTV, but I would rather watch on the Tres.)
 
I sent an Email to ESPN because they had showed they were going to stream the game on ESPN3 earlier in the week, but it is not there any longer, and here is their reply.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us.

Maybe they need some more Emails to convince them of the interest!!
 
Can you share the email address to ESPN you used. I have ESPN3 and would be more than happy to send an email on behalf of the Griz!
 
All is well. Just make sure to tune into libertyflames.com/tv and there should be a viewing option for you. Who needs ESPN? lol

This info is missing the Symbol Rate. Does anyone know what it is for this game?

Not a huge problem, as we can search for the game on this frequency, but it would be nice to have it.
 
Dish coverage of UM-Liberty will be in HD...a welcome relief from Gameplan where I suspect ESPN goes cheap with half a transponder resulting in the kind of crappy image we saw with the App State game.

I'm calling BS on their explanation. You're telling me California University of Pennsylvania vs. Edinboro has better ratings potential?
 
ESPN has told us regularly that our streams are among their most popular offerings on ESPN3. So I am not buying that a big matchup like this one would not meet their criteria. This is truly a surprising turn of events. But it will still be streamed for free multiple places.
 
I also sent ESPN3 a message! Does anyone know if Big Sky TV had the UNC game on, that was also broadcast by Altitude? Maybe Altitude was the rights like Root Sports does??
