Live in Alaska?

[mgriff]

Gents,
I moved to Alaska at the beginning of the year, and the only game I wasn't traveling through the Yukon Territory or the uninhabited portion of Alaska for was the National Championship Game. I was in Fairbanks for it and it was live, but I'm concerned about getting to see my Irish on Saturdays. It was the National Championship Game, so naturally I think it would be live no matter where you are in the U.S. Does anyone know if the games are broadcast up here at their regular kickoff times? It would be -4 hours from ET, but I'm fine with waking up, I just want to make sure I will get to watch them live. If not I'm pretty sure they play they are broadcast online, but I don't want to break out my S-Video cable and hook it up to my awesome TV for some crappy overall quality. Thanks in advance for any insight you can give me.

P.S. A quick Google search yielded nothing. I am nervous because we had to watch reruns of the Olympics and we were only an hour behind the actual games. Also we get all the TV shows hours after they air, which I suppose is normal, but I'm sure you west coast guys can give me at least a little info. Gorgeous scenery, great place to live, but the breaking point is my college football.

HawaiianIrish might be some good help.

It shouldn't matter I wouldn't think. U may have to wake up early but it'll be worth it to start off every weekend early with the Irish.

do you get NBC? I would think it would be a normal broadcast for NBC, i have never been to alaska so I dont really know. A game at South Bend game starts at (11am)11:30am here on the west coast, in SoCal.

...Also we get all the TV shows hours after they air, which I suppose is normal, but I'm sure you west coast guys can give me at least a little info.

west coast = live on tape

for example, whenever something 'happens' on SNL and it goes out live, it doesnt happen on the west coast feed. they have time to edit the broadcast, so if someone says the f word or whatever, the west coast ppl wont see it. (unless you have a dish service with east coast channels purchased, then you can watch it live).

To paraphrase Mr. Greeley: "So South, young man, go South."

Welcome to the Last Frontier! Other than the olympics, sports are all live. We have our game watches at O'Brady's on Huffman. shoot me a note at alaskandomer@hotmail.com, and we'll get you on the email list.

In Hawaii Irish Games are live no matter what time they play. NBC games are around 0930 A.M. and away/west coast games about 3:00 pm.
