K-StateHD.TV - coming nowhere near you anytime soon

How much sound do 10,000 shrugging shoulders make? That's the question you have to ask yourself when you wonder why you've never heard of K-StateHD.TV, Kansas State's "answer" to the Longhorn Network.

 

Maybe one of the deals that will save the Big XII (snicker) is that everyone in the conference will eventually end up with their own proprietary network. I can just imagine all eight Iowa State fans supporting the Cyclone Network, and both Oklahoma fans who are not too busy catching catfish with their bare hands supporting the "Longhorn Network 2 - this is the name Texas said we could use."

 

Here are the particulars for the K-StateHD.TV. Call your cable provider today!

 

Kansas State to start high-definition network

 

Kansas State announced plans Monday for a high-definition digital network that will broadcast live sports, replays of classic games, news conferences and other events.

 

The network, called K-StateHD.TV, will feature games that aren’t picked up by the Big 12 Network Television Package. That will include one football game per year, a handful of women’s basketball games and most home volleyball and baseball games. There probably won’t be any men’s basketball games available.

 

Kansas State sports information director Kenny Lannou said the network is an extension of more limited service already offered through the school’s athletics website provider, CBS College Network.

 

Subscribers will pay the same amount—$9.95 per month or $79.95 per year— to get the upgraded service. But the games and other events will be shot with higher-quality equipment and using more cameras. Some content, such as campus lectures and performances, will be available for free.

 

“Before it was typically one camera per sporting event,” Lannou said. “Now the games will be produced with multiple cameras and full high-definition.”

 

Currently, about 1,800 subscribers pay for the more limited service. But the school hopes the number of subscribers grows when the upgraded service debuts Aug. 30 with the Wildcats’ volleyball home opener against Creighton. The network also will feature the Wildcats’ football season opener against Eastern Kentucky.

They have 1,800 subscribers and want more. Where are they going to get more from? Are they not over their fan base limit as it is? lol.
