Cornell Hockey on TV 2011-12

Might as well start a thread for this. Two games on CBS Sports Network that I know of. If you hear of others let me know and I'll post them, women as well. I'd expect to see some on TWCNY +/or Capital District. Note that TV can change the game time.

Men

Nov  4 CU @ Yale 7:30 CBSSN
Nov 26 CU vs BU @ MSG 8:00 MSG
Jan 20 Dartmouth @ CU 7:00 TW
Jan 27 Colgate @ CU 7:30 CBSSN
Feb  3 CU @ RPI 7:30 NBCSN

Women

Feb  7 Mercyhurst @ CU 7:00 TW

CBSSN = CBS Sports Network
MSG = MSG Network
NBCSN = NBC Sports Network (Versus until 1/2/2012)
TW = Time-Warner Check your listing to see if on locally.

As good a place as any to put this. "Slap Schotts", Ken Schott's radio show is on this Thursday. Coach Bennett (Union), Coach Appert (RPI), Non-Coach Wodon will be on. It'll be interesting to hear about RPI and HE? He's got internet and smartphone links in the article.

Feb. 3 Cornell at RPI, 7:30 p.m. on Versus/NBC Sports.

Thanks, I added it.

Does anyone know of viewing options for those of us who do not have CBSSN? Their online streaming service doesn't have the game listed, oddly.

Yeah, bring beer over to my place.

Six hours from Rochester to NYC? That can't be right. Can it?

Edit: It's 9 hours from Buffalo to Montauk Point. So... yeah, I guess so.

There is hope for Verizon FiOS subscribers seeing Time Warner local sports broadcasts. I'm not expecting this anytime soon, and hockey may take a back seat to Siena and Syracuse basketball, but it would be a nice development.

Times Union Article

Today's Ithaca Journal article inerviewing Mike Schafer says the BU game will be on NESN as well as MSG. I'm guessing this is incorrect as the NESN schedule shows a Bruins game Saturday night against Winnipeg followed by Duke-UNC football.

Does anyone know of a legal means to watch outside of the US?

Is there a good place to watch the game in Boston. I'm sure some bar will be carrying it.

Amazing picture from Rochester tonight. The RIP at RIT game is HD on Time Warner cable. Even more surprising is that RPI is up 2-0 in the second.

Hopefully the Colgate Cornell game will be available in HD. (I just realized that the Colgate game is on CBS and not Time Warner.)

FYI, tonight's game against Dartmouth is being shown on Time Warner cable (channel 199 in the Hudson Valley). Well, at least some consolation for being without MSG.

Looks like it might be streaming on [www.twcs.tv] if redcast is having issues. I'm having no luck seeing if it is on tv on time warner in the nyc area.

Was watching the Michigan - Norte Dame game on NBC Sports Channel (former Versus) last night. They did a cutaway to our game, then mentioned that they would have Cornell on their network "in a couple weeks." I haven't bothered to check which game - I'm suspecting Union.

BTW, next week's game is Harvard V. Yale. Name recognition sucks, y'know?

In their "Hockey roundup" around 10:30 pm they had extensive highlights from our game including all the Cornell goals.

FWIW, RPI-TV will be streaming the games from Atlantic City [board.uscho.com].

CBS college sports network, who had the games last year, is instead having 11 hours of "full court press", which I assume will be in/out looks of the NC$$ squeakball games.

Is RPI-TV just for RPI students or can anyone access it? How can they stream when presumably B2/America One has the PPV internet rights?

My understanding is that RPI-TV is producing the show, and B2/America One is distributing it. Therefore, it is available to all - for B2's normal fee; presumably $9 per game or perhaps per day.

too bad they didnt actually offer it as a PPV to the Sats or cable if they are actually going to produce a decent quality product. $9 to watch on the computer vs $15-20 to watch on my Sat box..

While I think it's ridiculous that the games aren't on tv, I'd rather the games be offered on an internet stream* available to anyone with a connection than exclusively on some channel like ESPN75 that is only available in 3 markets in the country.

*- provided that stream is good quality, reliable and offered for a reasonable price.

While it might have been the case 6 years ago, the channels that would be likely to carry the game aren't exactly niche players anymore. CBS Sports Network is available in 98 million households; ~85% using Nielsen's estimate of 114 million U.S. TV households. ESPNU was in 72+ million households at the end of 2010.

Of course, the growing availability and popularity of these networks is probably part of the reason why they no longer need to broadcast the ECAC tournament.

My experiences with B2/America One this season (used it for some away Cornell games) have been a welcome relief from Redcast, including all the features you describe - though opinions will naturally vary on the $9 price.

It looks good next to the gas for a 700 mile round trip, admission to the arena, $8 beers, $100/night for a hotel room, and using up an extra vacation day.

All valid points but it's nevertheless frustrating when a game is carried on one of these networks and your cable company won't offer it in any tier or at any price and because the game is on the network, it's not available online. (it may no longer be the case but when I lived one town over from ESPN headquarters Comcast would not let me pay any sum of money to get ESPNU to watch hockey and lacrosse).

The networks may be less niche but the sport still is and it remains an exercise in frustration to get a restaurant or bar to dedicate a screen for the one person who cares more about hockey than march madness. I shudder to think that the next step for the ECAC might be to move the conference tourney to WED/THUR or some such thing just to be on TV like minor conference basketball.

I don't think it's unreasonable to have both though. (I'm not saying you disagree with me, I just think the point needs to be repeated.) Both have their advantages; streaming can be done regardless of location and cable providers availble; cable has the advantage of not being at the mercy of lag and streaming quality. And it's not like we want it on ESPN or anything, just some podunk regional channel that some bar nearby with a good package has a chance of getting.

But to not have both, frankly, is another thing that is turning the ECAC into an also-ran. It's a piss poor performance by those in charge of the conference.

I agree and sent an email to Steve Hagwell indicating how this "sucks", especially to those who can't make it to "centrally isolated" Atlantic City. Maybe if he got a few more emails from other pissed off people who thinks the lack of TV coverage makes the ECAC seem like a lower tier hockey conference won't make me seem like such a crazy person.

Likewise anyone in the country with a reasonable satellite package. That was what bugged me about the years where TWCS televised it; if you didn't happen to live in the right Time Warner market, you had no way to watch the game.

Is this lack of TV coverage, like moving the playoffs to Atlantic City, another fail by Commissioner Hagwell?

Maybe they're related. No TV as an attempt to boost attendance? 1950's thinking?

I doubt it... I think he just couldn't find anybody who wanted to carry it. I guess in the largest sense that's his "fault" since it speaks to the attractiveness of his product, but at least in the immediate view that's not Shaggy, it's the market.

AC was thinking outside the box -- a noble effort, even if it fails. And it was a check, which the ECAC probably can't afford to turn down right now.

If the conference gets desperate they could always go to best-of-three home site SF and F. I mean, if they're actually losing money on the tournament...

AC was thinking outside the box -- a noble effort, even if it fails. And it was a check, which the ECAC probably can't afford to turn down right now.

If the conference gets desperate they could always go to best-of-three home site SF and F. I mean, if they're actually losing money on the tournament...

I was thinking they might be related, but in the opposite direction: they're losing their shirts on the lack of attendance at the game, so they can't afford to pay to put the games on TV.

Is this lack of TV coverage, like moving the playoffs to Atlantic City, another fail by Commissioner Hagwell?

Could be. Is the ECACHL a completely separate entity from Mother ECAC (which is ginormous and may be flush)?

O.K., but in case I missed it....is any internet feed carrying the games, or is it a complete shutout??

You did miss it. As I posted 5 days ago, "B2/America One is distributing it. Therefore, it is available to all - for B2's normal fee; presumably $9 per game or perhaps per day."

Hilarious. Feel free to send that to Hagwell.

Sorry to get everone's hopes up.
Looks like they need to pay more attention to their website content as well....

Are you kidding? We'd be lucky to get that kind of crowd. I'm thinking something like this:

So we know the men's ECACs are only on the internet. Will the women's NCAA semifinal Friday night be televised? I couldn't find anything about it in a brief search.

There should be a free stream through ncaa.com. That's how the quarterfinals and last year's tournament worked.

Too bad. I got Jillian's in Albany to put the Championship on in 2010, and even the casual hoops fans got interested by the 2nd OT.

According to this USCHO thread, the Women's semis haven't been televised since '07, and the '11 Final was yanked after CBS acquired the CSTV network. I remember using the TUC center wifi to get CU-Mercyherst updates for the '10 semi, and then catching the winning goal in the hotel room.

In 2010 the Cornell Club of Miami had a watch party for the basketball game v. Wisconsin at a sports bar and I did manage to get a tv with the women's hockey game on it. I don't recall much of the b-ball game.

Does the arena in AC have wireless? It I have this right, the women play at 5 pm, the men at 7:30 (?, I think game 1 is at 4:30). So provided no OT, then the women should be ending just as the men's game gets under way.

No, the Semis are at 6:00 and 9:00 EDT, barring OT, with BC-Wisc getting the early slot. CU-Minn is the late game.

For the Men's ECAC, the game times are listed as 4:30 (UC-Col) and 7:00 (CU-HU) but that late time isn't realistic. Even with a fast regulation game (say 2:00 flat) they have to clear the ice and give warmup time. If A.C. has a way to bet on start times, I'd put loads on the "over."

Thank you all for setting me straight on the starting times. I might actually be able to have a short conversation with my parents before becoming totally engrossed in games on my computer and telling everyone to "hush".

WOW I haven't posted on here in over 10 years.
I feel like the whole point being missed on this thread is that the audience for the ECAC Championship game on television is MINISCULE. As in if a Polish language talk show was being aired, it would get similar ratings.
I noticed the MAAC basketball conference tournament was not televised in the New York area for the first time in I would guess 20 years.
I'm sure that gets higher ratings than ECAC hockey (though miniscule as well).
I will be in Atlantic City on Saturday. Anyone complaining about the lack of exposure of the games can get in a car and watch the games in person. While Atlantic City is not centrally located, it is not prohibitively far to drive from northeast locations. If you are that passionate about it, go to Boardwalk Hall.

I hear what you are saying but I really don't think anything is being missed. The point here is that this makes the ECAC look like a third rate conference, which it is, in the eyes of the other conferences, hockey fans and more importantly, coaches and recruits. Any dedicated fan can watch the games but it's not about the dedicated fans. It's about what this means for Cornell Hockey as part of this conference that can't even get itself on network TV and has also chosen to play its final four at a venue that makes no real sense. I understand that Cornell will always be tied to the Ivy league but with the continuing changes in student, and therefore student athlete aid at Ivy League institutions, I believe that Ivy League schools have a better chance at recruiting smart and talented student athletes. It's a shame that this conference and its inability to play with the big boys is working against that trend. Its not ideal but I'd much rather dump the league, play two or maybe even three games each against the six Ivy teams, and schedule non-conference games versus the other ECAC teams, hockey east teams, and even other conference teams. I know that filling a non-conference slate of games is not easy but anything has to be better than this embarrassment. Just venting.

Ferris State vs. Cornell will be rebroadcast tomorrow, 4/5 at 1PM on ESPN-U. This will hopefully include the beginning of the game which was preempted during the live broadcast last Saturday.

Two TV games announced today:

Nov. 16 vs. Sucks, 7:30 p.m., NBCSN
Jan. 25 vs. Yale, 7:30 p.m., NBSCN

[www.nbcumv.com]

Here are the number of games per team on UNOSN:

[5] Nebraska-Omaha
[3] Maine, BU, Denver, Yale
[2] Notre Dame, Harvard, Cornell, BC, Wisconsin, Union, North Dakota
[1] Army, MSU, CC, Princeton, Dartmouth, Quinnipiac, UNH

All the Ivies save Brown represented, a reasonably savvy omission given the team. No love for RPI, Colgate, or the North Country, which is odd. Also seems to continue the fantasy that people care about Yale. Perhaps it's difficult for production to get there, but substituting one of Yale's "rivalry" matchups—Harvard vs. Yale or Yale vs. Quinnipiac—for RPI-Union or SLU-Clarkson seems a no brainer.

I'm sure a lot of it has to do with equipment transport/travel costs and getting agreements with host universities & facilities as well as any regional media rights (the absence of the big media draws of rodents/wolverines shows that). It has to be a more complicated process than just cherry-picking whatever games they want to show and barging down the doors with 3 trailers full of equipment.

That said, given NBC's obvious interest in promoting Notre Dame anytime they can (after all, a long time ago, they were once actually good in football!), I'm surprised (and pleased) that only 2 of their games are on the schedule. Someone there knows that there's an interest and advantage to showing a larger geographical cross-section of the sport.

I found it interesting that only three of New York State's ten collegiate teams are represented. The omission of Clarkson, RIT, and RPI seems odd considering they actually have loyal fanbases and decent geographical followings. The inclusion of Union (at Messa) and Army (as much as I love the service academy sports) does not seem to make sense. Sure, Union had a Frozen Four appearance, but how many people want to watch that game outside of Schenectady and small Union alumni circles? Were I to choose a Union game it would have been Union-RPI at Houston. Easier to film and includes a program with a much larger geographic following than either Union or Army. At least we are not in the position that Minnesota is where inexplicably its four programs that would be eligible for NBC Sports coverage are ignored (the Gophers have a supposedly rigid exclusivity agreement with Fox Sports Minnesota so their exclusion was all but a foregone conclusion).

Wonder how annoying it will be for NBC Sporst to broadcast twice from Lynah. Last season at the Colgate-Cornell game it seemed that the CBS Sports crew was annoyed with the tightness of the confines and lack of some modern media amenities.

Maybe they'll buy us new lighting. It would probably cost about .0002% of the NBC Sports budget.

As students come and go, the quality could change. If the director who decides which camera should be on shown at any given time is not that good, the product could deteriorate. It certainly has been excellent in recent years.

Actually, the way we pick crew is more along the lines of, "Who wants to direct this game?" and "Who wants to be one which camera?" A couple of us who put a lot of effort into making our productions as proffessional as possible did graduate this year, but I think we left things in good hands. Also, I am still a bit involved, even 200 miles away. I am setting up and managing the the streaming this year.

Thanks everyone for all of your kind words over the past few years. We never did post anything here, but we have kept an eye on the posts and we appreciate all the nice things you have to say about us.

And then the archiving.

CBS Sports Network announced their college hockey schedule this week, which piles on zero more ECACHL televised games this season.

In a coup designed to restore balance to the brand-name universities and anger NBCSN, Notre Dame plays in 6 of 18 games slated to air on CBSSN. So that's good, since I certainly need more Notre Dame overhyping.
