I know that the local cable company here in Marquette, usually cuts a
a deal with MFC to televise here and when NMU plays Minnesota there, we
can get the telecast back here in Marquette. I don't know why they don't
televise from Michigan Tech, I know they have the facilities for T.V.
Broadcasting from the Student Ice Arena, but I know it's expensive to
televise from there.
