Whats the deal with this years broadcast of the competitons, will all of them be broadcast on ESPN or what just Nats?
I am a freshman fill me in :yikes:
I don’t think ESPN covers it?
I know it’ll be on NASA-TV…if your cable carries that channel.

O somewhere I thought I heard that ESPN covers it…
Along time ago ESPN used to cover it late at night. Not any more.
ESPN’s last showing of the championship event was in 1998 (? Maybe 99) No clue on the reasoning why they dropped, and attempts with letters and emails by participants trying to get coverage back have failed.
Now that Disney is out, it would make ESPN coverage almost impossible.
Disney owns ABC Network who also own ESPN
ESPN covers Magic: The Gathering matches… now, I love that game, but frankly, I think we’re more deserving of coverage.

I turned on ESPN the other day and they had re-runs of the national spelling bee championships from Washington D.C. …
I was wondering why that wasn’t on PBS or something 
A few weeks ago, I saw a jump rope competition on ESPN2…

they have something wrong there if they think jump rope gets better ratings than robotics…
If Tech TV had the resources I bet they would cover it…
Maybe If we asked PBS would cover it, or some station must be willing to broadcast it.

Cmon, it’s the spelling bee! Everyone wants it on a sports channel 
so they could watch it after a hockey game or something
There was also that weird game where people push stuff around with big sticks. I think I saw it in the olympics, but I don’t remember what it was called.

I thought he was talking about hockey. (Really! I’m not just trying to get the hockey fans’ goat – although that’s fun too.
)
Robotic curling would be an amazing challenge. FIRST 2004? I’m all for it!

Do you think we could get a local channel to cover the VCU Reg? Maybe 35, 12, or 8 would do it. I personally would like channel 12.

A friend of mine’s mom works at 12, mabey we can get a spot there. Spark 2 was on 6 once.
Last time i saw the competition on TV was in 2001, the ONE minute report of channel 1 news… they showed an amaizing 5 to 8 seconds of it and then moved on… We NeeD full brocast of atleast the Nationals, so people that can’t attend ( like me ), could know whats going on down there…
How about public acess television.
Dean got money, he should buy all this channels off, :yikes:
