ONN WILL AIR OSU vs. INDIANA GAME SATURDAY AT 11:00PM
The Dispatch Broadcast Group and ONN have been in intense discussions with The Ohio State University to try and find some level of solution to show the OSU vs. Indiana football game. We are proud to announce that the game will be seen on ONN, tape delayed, at 11:00pm on Saturday night. ONN will show an encore presentation of the game, Sunday night at 8:00pm.
The original game will air on ESPNU Saturday at Noon. This marks the first time in nine years that a Buckeyes football game will not be seen live on local television.
"In a perfect world, WBNS-10TV would have proceeded as usual with our broadcast of the game, but unfortunately this one was out of our control," said 10TV/ONN President and General Manager Tom Griesdorn. "However, because of our strong commitment to the Buckeyes, their fans and our most valued customer the viewer, we wanted to seek every opportunity to show this game. We are fortunate to have ONN as a second source for bringing Buckeye football to fans not only in Central Ohio, but the entire state. "
"There is no other regional cable channel that is this committed to Ohio State," said Jason Pheister, ONN Director of Programming. "We have Buckeye coverage nearly every day of the week and our Ohio State special programs continue to get great response. This is a great mix of what people care about."
