Dear Tom Holmoe

[myboynoah]

I'm sure there is but the point isn't what it is today but what is could be.

I understand, but it would still be an interesting thing to know.

Are service providers able to track fairly accurately who is watching what? Wouldn't technology provide for that capability? Wouldn't D-TV be able to to tell extactly how many hours it's customers watched BYU-TV, ESPN, or TV-Land?

Network is free but ad generation could be big for big 12 games w BYU.

The Big 12 doesn't allow for individual schools or the local network affiliates in Big 12 cities to broadcast football games not picked up by the Big 12's network/cable partners. Why would they break that trend with BYU?

[myboynoah]

You need to sync up with that dude that is posting BYU's resume to the Big 12 everywhere. I am sure if the two of you put your heads together on this BYU will get that invite in no time.

That guy is crazy. Makes me laugh just thinking about his efforts.

[Hot Lunch]

Tom reads this board. CB is a joke to most in the AD

I will not disagree with your comment about CB being a complete joke but I actually I think all message boards are considered a joke inside the athletic departments.

[Hot Lunch]

That guy is crazy. Makes me laugh just thinking about his efforts.

It really is laughable and a complete waste of time.

[RC Vikings]

I think what I saw as I ran full speed to the next channel was a BYU professor round table scripture discussion.

Just think if they worked that in at halftime what a missionary tool it could be.

[il Padrino Ute]

I see the point Viking is trying to make, however. Most conferences have to really work to get tv stations. BYU already has a network that comes free on most cable and satellite systems. Or at least people are already ordering the package that it comes on.

Well, BYUTV is not a sports network. It would take a lot of work to hire the right kind of staff to make it even as good as the mtn. Because of this, the Big 12 would be better off modeling a tv network after the Big 10.

Does BYUTV have any original programming that it produces and broadcasts? Or is it more like KBYU and KUED or any other public network that broadcasts already produced programs?

You're missing some scyntillating "Discussions on the Doctrine and Covenants."

My loss.

But are those produced by BYUTV or KBYU or the LDS Church? (which are pretty much the same, eh?)

[YOhio]

I wouldn't mind BYUTV taking on a stronger sports emphasis as long as it doesn't come at the expense of Martha's Sewing Room and Scrapbook Memories.

Exactly! Just remember that next time you're cheering against the Cougars of BYU. You're cheering against you're own church.

[YOhio]

This thread has made me hop on over to the 9403 and there is an interesting documentary on the Joseph Smith papers. Looks like a series. It's actually pretty cool.

I hear they made a ton of money off of the public service announcements that they put on during breaks of the BYU/Michigan State basketball game that was broadcast on BYUTV.

[Shaka]

Couple a ton of BYU sports programming with reruns of Big Love and I think you have a winner.

[Coach McGuirk]

Just think if they worked that in at halftime what a missionary tool it could be.

Sha la la la la mormon books
Sha la la la la the mission I took
Sha la la la la BYU TV
Sha la la la la Halftime Scripture chase
What I do know is I believe
And I do know that if you believe too
What a wonderful missionary tool this would be.
