The school formerly known as Southwest Missouri State has a lot of history with that name. It is Hall of Fame night at JQH Arena and Missouri State will be honoring Charlie Spoonhour who some of the youngsters know from doing color analyst duties on TV. But back in his day he started his head coaching career at SMS in 1983 and led the Bears to the NCAA Tournament 5 times while he was there. But enough with the history lessons, we have a game to play.
At White & Blue Review, we want to make sure you are always aware of the different media at your disposal for keeping track of every Bluejays game, home and away. We know a lot of people can’t make it to Springfield to see the game live, however, there are several broadcasts and media ways to catch the game anyway for Saturday’s 7PM game.
Television
The game will be broadcast by Omaha’s local CBS station KMTV, otherwise known as Action3 News. Travis Justice and Nick Bahe will have the call.
If you still have the rabbit ears on your TV, it is available over the air in the metro and surrounding areas.
For those with cable systems, it is available on Cox channel 5 or 705 (but no HD) in the Omaha metro. In Lincoln and other surrounding Time Warner Cable outlets in Nebraska stretching as far west as York and as far south as Fairbury and Nebraska City, it is available on TWC channel 3.
On satellite with DirecTV and Dish Network, those with the Omaha DMA will have it on their local CBS channel which is KMTV.
Those with old style satellites can try these coordinates:
- Galaxy 16 K6 6A Digital
- U/L – 14.104.13H
- D/L – 11.804.13V
Online
There are several ways to follow the game via the Internet:

- Or for a different perspective you can follow the action on Missouri State’s online radio broadcast on Radio Springfield.
