Suggested retail price for residential purchase is $29.95. Big 12 Special Order Sports, Fox Sports Net’s pay-per-view division, will produce and distribute the telecast.
The game is being televised on pay-per-view because it was not selected for over-the-air broadcast or cable television coverage. Nebraska and FSN are working together to make this game, along with the Huskers games against San Jose State and New Mexico State, available to fans on television on a pay-per-view basis.
Participating cable and satellite providers will offer the telecast to their customers on a specially designated pay-per-view channel. The telecast will not preempt FSN’s regularly scheduled programming.
Veteran college football announcers Ron Thulin (play-by-play) and Richard Baldinger (analyst) will call the action, with FSN’s Stacy Paetz as sideline reporter.
As of Aug. 18, the following programming providers have agreed to offer the Nebraska vs. Western Michigan pay-per-view telecast. For availability in specific areas, customers should contact their cable or satellite provider.
