OU-Tulsa Game To Be Televised On Pay-Per-View In Oklahoma

Oct. 26, 2001

NORMAN, Okla. - Big 12 Special Order Sports, Fox Sports Net's pay-per-view division, will produce and distribute on a pay-per-view basis the Nov. 3 Oklahoma-Tulsa college football game to participating cable and satellite television systems in Oklahoma. Suggested retail price is $24.95. Kickoff is 2 p.m. CST from Memorial Stadium in Norman.

The game is being televised on pay-per-view basis because it was not selected for over-the-air broadcast, syndication or cable television coverage. Under conference TV rules, games not picked up for regular television distribution can only be televised on pay-per-view in the states of the participating schools.

"We're giving fans an option to watch a game that they otherwise wouldn't be able to see on television at an affordable price," said Fox Sports Net Senior Vice President/General Manager Jon Heidtke. "We want to give as many Oklahoma and Tulsa fans as possible an opportunity to watch their team."

Satellite providers DirecTV and Dish Network are exploring pay-per-view carriage of the game. A list of participating cable systems and satellite television distributors will be announced early next week. Participating television outlets will offer the telecast to their customers on a specifically designated pay-per-view channel. The telecast will not pre-empt Fox Sports Net's regularly scheduled programming.

The game will be replayed throughout Fox Sports Net's Southwest region (Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and parts of New Mexico) on Sunday, Nov. 4 at 2 a.m. CST.
