ABC/ESPN/ESPN2 Coverage Maps?

[tedginn05]

Can anybody explain this to me?

Seems like they're going to be switching channels of games and stuff like that. And according to this, the OSU-scUM game will be on ESPN also saturday for West Coast viewers? Why don't they just put the OSU-scUM game on ABC as a Nationwide broadcast so everyone can see it on the same channel?

Whats the difference?

Whats the difference?

Thats what I'm trying to figure out.

Why would they do all this switching around and shit.

Plus I always thought the OSU-scUM game was a broadcast that the whole country would see on ABC, but apparently not this year.

He meant what's the difference to you. Why do you care, and why should we?

umm... no, Einstein, they aren't showing a West Coast game... i can't think of ANY school, West Coast or otherwise that would schedule 9 or 10 AM kickoff...

they are showing a West Coast game at 4 PM PST... the only reason that i can think for NOT having a national broadcast of The Game is the bogus PGA Skins game... what a crock of shit...

No, the game is on ABC. That's an ESPN map. They're showing the game on ESPN only out west, because for some reason it won't be on ABC

Because they are letting West Coast people to see The Game since it won't be on ABC.

But I still can't figure out what game is being shown on the West Coast on ABC at 1:00 ET(10:00 AM PT).

supposedly ABC can NOT interupt children's programming. It's some hilarious excuse. ESPN picked up THE GAME so the west coast can see it. THE GAME will pre-empt the Va. Tech v. UVA game. sucks for them. It's discussed in this thread. http://www.buckeyeplanet.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18970
