TV schedule?

Has there been a detailed TV schedule released yet? I'm wondering if they are going to make good on their promise of broadcasting every game in HD this year.

Seems like we should have seen something by now.

I think they promised a "majority" of the games in HD this year and NEXT season everything in HD. Although I could be wrong. But I mean when you look at things, the Cardinals don't get all of their games in HD yet, so I can't imagine FSM making accomodations for the Blues before their beloved Cardinals.

Well, I didn't think we would get every single game in HD, but every home game + at least 75% of away games would be nice.

I am just happy there are no more KPLR games anymore.

I'm just glad there is a mute button on my tv so I don't have to listen to Kelly. I can turn up the radio and listen to Kelly instead. :P

It is 3 games, Vancouver, Calgary and Columbus. Those three along with the 5 on versus looks like I will be going to Buffalo Wild Wings a few more times this year. Or Directv and VS could resolve this shit.

Or you got buck up and go to the home games (3 no tv games and 2 Versus)

Only 3 games not aired?!? Hells yes. That's the best they've ever done. Now let's see how they do with the HD part...

Charter also needs to get VS back in HD. That would be nice.

I'd go to every home game if I wasn't going to Mizzou. They don't even have an ice rink in this town, nor a white castle or jack in the box.

My FSMW contact tells me the majority of games will be in HD on FSMW. So at least a dozen more games in HD than last year...maybe more.
No specific numbers yet though.

Tues Nov 10---holiday (Veterans Day)
Tues Dec 15---maybe you will luck out and be done with finals by that point
Monday April 5--holiday (Easter Monday)

No excuse! :grin:

Columbia has not had a rink since the Ice Chalet closed in the 80's and turned into an antique joint. If I wanted to go skate, I had to go to Jeff City.

My guess is... 48 games will be in HD this season.

I would consider that low. I want better. Every home game should be in HD. No excuses.

I agree. But I think there were 31 in HD last season. So if there are 48 this year, that is a 17 game improvement, which is pretty good if you look at it that way.

I'll set 50 as the over/under.

I sent JD some pretty funny snail mails last year on this exact subject. He never actually wrote me back, but seeing as my main complaint was the amount of games that didn't make it on TV, I feel like it at least got some attention.
