Northern Iowa put an end to Drake’s 5-game winning streak on Wednesday night. It is hard to tell if that is a good thing or a bad thing. The Bulldogs will host the Bluejays at the Knapp Center Saturday night, in what is sure to be an interesting battle. Creighton is riding a bit of momentum, while Drake looks to regain some of its own.
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. If you can’t make the short 2-hour trip down I-80 to watch the game in person, there are several broadcasts and media ways to catch the game anyway.
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.
