MASN TV Schedule

[StPetersburgHoya (Inactive)]

Looks like MASN will be picking up a good number of Georgetown games including a large number of OOC games.

surprised W&M and especially Michigan aren't being picked up.

I may be wrong, but I don't think MASN puts together their own coverage - I believe they just have a license to televise games which are carried by ESPN PLUS (available through the ESPN Full Court package). Therefore, the games they select probably depend on which ones ESPN Plus decides to carry. Even still, I am surprised about the lack of coverage for the Michigan game.

[hoyasexy]

I seem to remember from last year that games were added to the TV schedule after the original schedule came out. Not all games ended up getting picked up, but there was a point (mid-OOC) after which all games were on TV.

Ridiculous that the Michigan game isn't being televised but I suspect it is because college basketball is not considered a sport until December, and then not really until January. Not surprised at all about W&M.

As for MASN, I thought it was the other way around -- local sports stations produce the broadcast and ESPN+ or Full Court pick it up.

[SFHoya99]

Even worse, there are still two BE games not covered. Which may mean ESPNU or ESPN360. Uggh.

A little of both, alot of the regional nets produce their own content but alot of them also pick up bonus coverage via ESPN+ or other networks. MASN has had several games they picked up as bonus coverage during football season that were also still on Gameplan since they weren't in the local coverage area of the game (in other words, not blacked out on Gameplan.)

[NickSixers]

MASN picked up a bunch of ESPN+ games last year. The Rutgers game sticks out in my mind for some reason.

[Gold Hoya]

DePaul, St. John's 2, and Michigan certainly stick out at this point.

By the way, GUHoyas.com is wrong on the DePaul gametime. It's a Tuesday night, 8pm CT start, not noon.

[hoyaboy1]

At this point, are any road games besides Ball State not televised?

Edit - looks like DePaul is the only other, I think.

[TrueHoyaBlue]

I think the home game vs. St. Johns in February is going to be on ESPN-U. IIRC, that's what the "guest announcer" promotion at Midnight Madness was for.

[saxamaphone]

MASN is a virtual network. They don't produce any original content, so unless someone else is sending a crew, there's nothing they can do. It's just a couple of guys that take ads and switch feeds.

So if they're not showing a game, either someone else has an exclusive license on it or there's no one else televising it.

they produce all nats and orioles games - and some hoyas games last year, with loser announcers

[nathanhm]

How does MASN work with DirecTV, blackouts, and ESPN Full Court? Is it going to be one of those cases where I have the station but can never end up watching games on it because of blackouts?

I used to have Dish with the sportspack and every time there was a game on a regional sports network I wanted to watch it was blacked out.

[Hoya06]

I did not get full court last year but had the sports package with directv. I got every game that was televised, no blackouts

[FromTheBeginning]

I had DirecTV premium sports package last year and no MASN games were blacked out - at least in Texas.
