TV access to YSU-OSU game limited

Though negotiations continue with local cable companies Time Warner and Armstrong, an Armstrong spokesman says it is unlikely his company will work out a deal to carry the Youngstown State-Ohio State game Sept. 1 on the Big Ten Network.

If no agreement is reached with either company, the only place locally where the game will be available is a premium package called Total Choice on the satellite system DirecTV. The game will be broadcast on three local radio stations: WKBN-570 AM, WNIO-1390 AM, and WBBG 106.1 FM.

A message left at the public affairs office at Time Warner Cable today was not returned.

Bev Fisher, director of the Canfield Fair, said the fair plans to show the game on a big-screen television near the flagpole outside the administration building. Some businesses, such as the four Buffalo Wild Wings locations in the area, are also planning to show it.
