NORMAN, Okla. -- Several cable television systems in
Oklahoma and Texas and nationwide satellite TV services
DirecTV and Dish Network will offer Oklahoma's season-opening
football game against Chattanooga on Saturday, Aug.
30 at 6:00 PM CT on pay-per-view. Suggested retail
price is $29.95.
A one-hour pregame show beginning at 5:00 PM CT
will commemorate coach Bob Stoops' 10th season at Oklahoma
and will feature interviews with former Sooner players
and celebrities in attendance about the impact Stoops
has had on the OU program in the last decade.
The game is being televised on pay-per-view because
it wasn't selected for over-the-air broadcast or cable
television coverage. Under conference TV rules, games
not picked up for regular television distribution can
only be televised live on pay-per-view, giving fans
the option to watch a game they otherwise wouldn't
be able to see.
Tim Brando (play-by-play), former Oklahoma running
back Spencer Tillman (analyst), former OU quarterback
Paul Thompson (sideline reporter) and FSN Southwest's
Emily Jones (sideline reporter) call the action. Former
Oklahoma quarterback Dean Blevins will host the pay-per-view
telecast from Memorial Stadium in Norman, Okla. and
anchor the pregame show.
FSN Southwest will replay the game in a one-hour
format on Tuesday, Sept. 2 at 11:00 AM CT as part of
its new "Big 12 No Huddle" series, which
will feature condensed telecasts of Big 12 games throughout
the season.
Listed below are programming providers that will
offer the live telecast on a designated pay-per-view
channel (more could be added prior to kickoff). Cable
TV subscribers must have digital cable to order the
telecast. Customers can order the game from their set-top
boxes or by calling their local programming provider:
