OSU Game on TW Cable in Corning/Elmira/Binghampton

Great news!

I've successfully lobbied Time Warner of the Southern Tier (NYS) to get the tOSU game on in Corning, Elmira and Binghampton. Other threads have already mentioned that TW Central NY, Rochester and the Albany region will be covering the game live as well.

Here's the email I received from TW Southern Tier regarding where to watch the games:

Dear Jeff,

Check it out! We will be carrying the game in Bing, Corning and Elmira! - Ch 12 in Bing and Channel 1in Elmira/Corning. I hope this news makes you happy! Enjoy!

Sincerely,

Great Jeff! Even though I'm going to Minnesota for something this weekend, I'll be sure to set my VCR. It's good to know the Southern Tier isn't being left out of the TWC Upstate NY party.

This is a little confusing to me, but I think I have it figured out. I still live in the dark ages and only have basic cable...mainly because my apt. complex provides free basic cable. Free is better than the $44/month it would cost to get digital cable (or anything else). Anyway, when Elmira/Corning say "Channel 1" they usually mean the public access channel. I think you can tune to Channel 1 if you have a digital cable box. On my analog cable, I can get the things they air on "Channel 1" by tuning to channel 99 on my TV.

I don't know if this helps anyone out there, but if it does, there you go.

Helps me, thanks a lot.

Thanks for the info.

I did ask the TW Southern Tier person whether digital cable was required and she said no. So - I think you're right RichH.

I will be sure to check out channel 99 if its not on channel 1.

I didn't think to ask about the maine-minny game or Sunday's game. I'm only going to be in Corning on Saturday so I won't be able to see the Sunday game. If you like, I'll give you - offline - the email address of the person at TW I spoke with. Email me at jeffdav@yahoo.com and I'll reply back.

She was very accomodating and I'm sure could help you out with Sunday's game.
