UC Basketball Bounces Around Ch 19 Schedule
Someone asked me how the find Fox shows on Channel 19, with UC games this weekend. So below you'll see the plan in an e-mail Tony Phillips, marketing and promotion manager. A couple of notes:
--Jim Barber will fill in for play-by-play man Jeff Piecoro until UK football season ends. Anthony Buford return as analyst.
--UC baskeball will bounce around some Fox shows through March -- but not "American Idol" or "House." (Or "24" if writers' strike ends.)

Will these games be in HD? A couple years back WXIX broadcasted a number of games in HD. It would be nice if WXIX did so again.
Will Dan Hoard be back on the radio for the basketball games?
No HD games in fact, the quality of the broadcasts will be going down due to budget cuts over at WXIX. My roommate works for WXIX on these games and he was told that some of the key components of the telecasts were not going to be part of the prod budget this year. He said they cut the budget by 50%. WXIX is not even doing the required number of games for the contract with UC for the second year in a row due to the Fox program schedule. Other stations picked up the games this year but last year it sucked for fans. Seems like WXIX would rather run the shows than the games.
It's a tough time for 19. The Fox shows are three times as popular as the Bearcats and the team stinks. How do you continue to justify airing unpopular games over popular shows when nobody is watching? If UC fans want UC basketball on free tv they better get vocal and they also better start watching.
