OK, so no first round coverage that I can find, but the East Finals will broadcast as follows:
Sun. Mar 30
12:00 NESN
3:30 FSNY
The page below might update in the next few days with more details:

GO RED!
Here's a link to the official NCAA TV schedule:
http://www.ncaasports.com/icehockey/mens/story/6263459
We'll know about the first round on Tuesday. As for the second - this site lists a "join-in-progress clearance." At 3:30? Unless it goes to overtime, there'll be no game to join in progress at that time.
WTF happened to YES? I hope they pick this up.
Well that sucks. I figured it would be pre-empted on FSNY by the NHL game, but all the listings indicate tape delay in full at 3:30. Hope something changes.
Nesn is showing a bunch of the games, but not the noon game...

Forget TV !! Get yourself to Providence !! ::nut::
Does anyone have any idea what the satellite coordinates for the feed will be...and if the feed will be in the clear?
The NCAA website lists Fox Sports Pittsburgh and Sunshine Network as two of the stations carrying the games. Fox Sports Pittsburgh is 428 on Dish Network and Sunshine is 422 (I think).
http://www.ncaasports.com/icehockey/mens/story/6263459
More for DirecTV subscribers: It looks like Fox Sports Pittsburgh is the only network on DirecTV's "Sports Pack" that will be showing the East Regional Final in Providence on the 30th. Fox Sports Pittsburgh is on Channel 628. Unfortunately, the links above seem to suggest that nobody's broadcasting either of the two East Regional Semifinals from Providence on the 29th. Anybody know otherwise?
The NCAA page also says, "Eight first round clearances for Division I Men's Hockey will be added Tuesday, March 25. "
Update on watching Saturday's Cornell-MSUM game from Providence with DirecTV...
This is what was posted on the MSUM Athletics site this morning: "All three games of the Eastern Regional will be carried live by Fox Sports Net North. Sean Grande will call the play-by-play and former WHA goaltender Cap Raeder will provide analysis."
If that's true, then DirecTV viewers who subscribe to the "Sports Pack" add-on (or sports bar patrons who go to places that pay for "Sports Pack") will be able to watch the game live at noon on Channel 641.
Matt and John (above) are right: I see that I somehow failed to read the part of the NCAA page (links above) saying that several more clearances will be announced today. I'm sure other networks/systems will be picking up this game.
I agree... GET TO PROVIDENCE, forget TV.

Unless you live someplace like Louisiana, Texas, Utah, California, etc, right?
I just got off the phone with a customer service rep for Ithaca's Time Warner Cable. He said they are working on arrangements to carry the games Cornell will be in this weekend as he spoke to me. He also mentioned that it would most likely be on a channel below 20 or above 73, so that people with the most basic of the basic cable packages can get it.
Time Warner has been working on getting coverage since yesterday, but the customer rep did indicate to me that email to management would help encourage the process.....twcable@twcable.com.....let them know they'll have a big audience in Ithaca!!! (for those of us who just can't get to RI....)
QuoteUnless you live someplace like Louisiana, Texas, Utah, California, etc, right?
Or if you live in Ithaca, have a family of four, don't happen to have a spare $500 lying around, and yet still wish to support the team, at least in spirit.
the games will be on Empire on Sat. they are unclear about sunday...
Well, if you live really far away you could be forgiven by whatever power grants such things :-)
But, if you are a student in Ithaca - Get yourself to the Dunk!!! No excuses. Find a way. Never know when you'll have another chance like this. Don't take it for granted. We're not going to be ranked #1 at season's end every year.
Amen to that. I missed probably the best two games during my undergrad days (QF wins over Harvard in the midst of the streak) for a silly orchestra rehearsal. Still kicking myself for that one - don't let that happen to you!!!:-(
Anyone have any ideas of how to listen to the game (online) or any sports bars with NESN in Iowa? I'm a poor grad student that spent my last $$ on getting to Albany.

Well Erin, there's always the opponent's broadcast. Seems to have worked pretty well this season.
It looks as though there may be a chance of the MSU-Mankato folk broadcasting the game on the web. They seem to have covered the rest of the season.

feel free to e-mail the addresses on the site, with additions or corrections.
Word is that Channel 77 will carry the game in Ithaca.
No excuses? What if I have to go to the Jersey Shore? http://www.njguido.com/writings/moo_word.htm
I checked ESN and Dish Network's schedules and they show the Sabres/Canadiens rebroadcast at 12 n Sat.

*In addition to the live broadcasts listed above, many of these games will be rebroadcast on tape delay on many of these channels.
Hillel, you are so the man.
Also beware: I just got off the phone with DTV, and there is a danger that those of us "lucky" enough to live in areas where the local cable cartel has bought the Regional final broadcast from ESPN may have the games blacked out on the RSNs. Where are those bird-flipping smileys...
Post Edited (03-27-03 13:50)
You know, DTV and the whole blackout thing SUCKS. I understand blackout when the game in available on free tv or another SAT channel, but TWC has a local exclusive and we obviously can't get TWC or we wouldn't have DTV!
And here it is, John, on your behalf
::flipa::
Post Edited (03-27-03 19:56)
I dont even live where they have cable 20 miles from ithaca and have been blacked out by TWC... Empire which has the rights to show me anything they want as my Directv RSN gets blacked out all the time and no-one at Directv can figure out why... i now have a direct # to people in california for complaints which does absolutely nothing since it always happens after all the people go home for the day... if i were people i would be calling tomorrow and making sure what they have for blackout plans...
I gather that for those of us living in CA, we are out of luck....:`( :-(

I tried that today, but DirecTV doesn't seem to know in advance what's going to be blacked out, so all they could do was make educated guesses based on the general policies. I've got a backup place to watch the games on cable (and Saturday night's game is also on the local cable, so I assume it will be an indicator of whether Sunday's will be blacked out or not). I thought I getting the dish I was removing my dependence on sports bars, but apparently not. :-(
If this goes down like I expect, I'm going to write to the NCAA and ask that they
not sell the rights to future tournaments to Cox Sports Channel New Orleans. Hopefully if no one writes to thank them for doing it, they will register negative interest. The whole thing is really annoying, since the most loyal college hockey fans will presumably have found a way to get DirecTV by now (since even digital cable doesn't offer the smorgasboard of out-of-market RSNs that allow us to watch many college hockey games throughout the year), so the deal with Cox and the related blackout just serves to inconvenience the people who actually care about the sport.
thats about all you can do.. but the whole industry is screwed up... the blackouts serve noone yet they continue to do it.. if my local RSN buys the rights then fine blackout the others on directv. but if noone buys the rights locally what good does blacking me out do? its not llike i am costing someone money. the worst part is there is noone to complain to other than congress and they dont care... try this.. I live where OTA feeds dont exist.. i talk with all the networks and get waivers. Directv gives me the net-work feeds. then they show a game like SU on cbs and Directv blacks me out cause i have to watch it over the local OTA feed which i cant get in the first place... same for NCAA football i cant get ABC so i buy the college pass to watch a game and again they black out the gameplan so i can watch it on local ABC which i cant get...
they make up the rules as they go along and noone cares.
If you have the DirecTV SportsPak you should be able to get the games on Empire or Fox North. They won't blackout to zipcodes in CA because none have local fascist cable networks that will carry the game.
Looks like we're all going to Tom's
Care to share the number of that direct line to DTV to complain about blackout? The regular service reps have no clue. ::rolleyes::

I just called 1-800-DIRECTV. But I don't think complaining to DTV will help much. They obviously didn't make the blackout rules that give local cable hegemonies precedence over them. Presumably the responsibility for that goes to some combination of the cable companies, the FCC, and the NCAA. Probably the only thing DTV can be blamed for is not having better lobbyists.
Does anyone know the satellite coordinates of the feed from providence?
Should be joined in progress on FSNorth at the top of the hour.
