[NU Sports] TV story for this week

[Jonathan Hodges]

As far as I know, the only ABC national broadcast (besides the bowl
game) is the OSU v. Michigan game, which is always at the 12PM ET time
slot.  The only other national telecasts on network television are the
NBC Notre Dame games and whatever SEC game CBS shows in the 3:30PM ET
time slot.  I may be mistaken, but this is what I recall.  Since ABC
shows games from the ACC, Big Ten, Big XII, and Pac 10, they are
forced to regionalize almost every time slot.  Being on ABC is still
big, though, as they still pull in a larger audience than many
ESPN/ESPN2 games.

BTW, the 'Cats' final regular season game at Illinois will be
televised at 11AM CT on ESPN+ (Channel 2 in Chicago).
