Why am I watching this?

A caller to our Answerback line last Satuday afternoon wondered why she was watching a basketball game that was a "blowout" instead of getting to see K-U.

 

The Jayhawks' game with Oklahoma Saturday was on ESPN, and therefore not available to us.

We had the CBS game on.

Believe me, we'd love to have K-U games on as often as possible (as well as K-State, Wichita State, etc)  but those broadcasts are often set up, contracted and paid for long before the season begins.

It's not a situation where on a particular day, we CHOOSE to show a game other than our state teams.

Monday's K-U/K-State game is the same...it's on ESPN and simply not available to local stations like ours.

Thanks for understanding.
