Hi Hoya Fans, I posted this last night, but I will do so again now. I called ESPN headquarters and they directed me to a consumer response line, you can just ask the operator when you call and she will put you through. Anyway, I voiced my concern to the person taking calls about the non coverage of the gtown syracuse game and he said that he would pass on those concerns to the supervisor. I know that many think this wont work, but it wasnt hard and it wasnt in an antagonizing way. So if you can take 3 minutes out of your day, please call espn at 860-766-2000 and ask for the consumer response line. After they connect you, press "0" when the voice recording comes on and it sends you to a live operator. Please tell them that you are upset that espn or espn full court are not carrying the gtown syracuse game as there are many open full court channels tonight and urge them to make a change for the next time. This is not hard to do and it would be great if we could flood them with calls to make a point. once again the number is 860-766-2000 Thanks

Also as a side note please see the earlier tv coverage thread on the next page to get an email list for people to email if you are more interested in doing it that way.

The direct line to call is 860.766.2236. I talked to the guy there and he said he was surprised that the game wasn't on due to rivalry purposes. I also reminded him that this is two of the current top 3 teams in the Big East - which he hadn't realized. He apologized and said - I'm sure it is being televised in the DC and Syracuse areas. Which is when I told him he was wrong. He apologized. That's all I got...

thats great, at least its a start. If enough people call maybe this is something he will take to a supervisor who will take it to someone on the espn fullcourt desk etc... Already we have informed a few different staff about the issue and have gotten the ball rolling. Good job, keep up the calls.

I got through, the guy apologized, but said that it wasn't covered and there was nothing he could do other then let the programming dept "know of my frustrations." Anyone have better luck?

I spoke both to someone and left a message, so at least that two different outlets. If anyone can find other numbers, i.e to the appropriate people to call at time warner or direct tv that also help set the schedule please post those as well.
