Indianapolis TV station Fox 59 will carry the Insight Bowl between Indiana and Oklahoma State live on New Year’s Eve.
Fox 59 general manager Jerry Martin said the NFL Network, which is televising the game but isn’t carried on basic cable locally, made the game available on Friday to Indianapolis TV stations so Fox 59 submitted a bid to carry it.
The NFL Network informed Fox 59 today that it had won the rights to carry the game.
“Apparently, we had the highest bid,” Martin said.
The Insight Bowl will be shown on both the NFL Network and Fox 59 (in HD) in the Indianapolis TV market, which includes Bloomington and surrounding areas. Â
I assume this will be in HD? Just like the Colts game was simulcast in high def.
Jeff, you are quick! I just posted this and was adding a final sentence saying that it will be in HD on Fox when I saw your question.
I hope it is in HD, man that would be awesome, since Insight doesn’t have NFL Network in HD, and I am not going to a dish.
I’m surprised — it’s called the Insight Bowl and Insight doesn’t carry the NFL Network….talk about contradiction.
Thanks Doug. I’m not too busy at work and felt the need to lurk around the Scoop all day.
Two different Insight companies Cris. (i thought the same thing at first too, though)
insight carries the nfl network. its part of a digital sports tier.
however, i am unsure if there is an affiliation between insight cable and the insight company that sponsors the game…
Ok, I saw some on cut and pasted on Peegs, but why is it so hard to find some Insight Bowl merchandise?
Link anyone? I need a new hoodie.
Folks,
The Insight Corp. that is affiliated with the Insight Bowl is NOT the Insight Cable company. This is an often made mistake.
Since I reported this at around 8:30 am this morning, does that mean I get a raise?
Here’s what I wrote this morning.
Aha — makes sense now!
Ron is right. The Insight company that sponsors the Insight Bowl is a world wide IT company.
There is a merchandise link on the insightbowl.com website. I don’t know what, if anything is on it (I have not looked).
Yeah, their website is pretty crappy and the merchandise links didnt work and/or were outdated. And, IU has been slower than I expected with this. Oh well.
Moderate me please
BJ, I approved your comment but it looks like our blog can’t use a link that long (at least it doesn’t work for me). Good work on the early report. Now we’ve got you and Korman looking for raises on the Scoop.
Go ahead and give his first. He works harder than I do.
Congrats and thanks to Fox! We can actually see a game without
worrying about Comcast.
BJ, Korman works hard? What’s so hard about working seven days every week? One advantage of this schedule is that he avoids the Monday blues because he doesn’t get the day off on Saturday and Sunday. Since he is doing a great job for us, we are considering giving him Christmas Day off.
