Ohio Football Game Against Miami Moved to
1 p.m. Kickoff
The
kickoff for the Ohio University football
game against Miami University on Saturday,
Nov. 13 has been moved from noon to 1:00
p.m. to accommodate an adjustment in the
Mid-American Conference's television
package. The game time modification is
necessary to facilitate a second MAC
Regional broadcast of the conference
matchup between Marshall at Western
Michigan in Kalamazoo, Mich.
The
Miami at Ohio game will be broadcast
locally on WVAH-TV Channel 11, the FOX
affiliate in Huntington, W.Va. The
broadcast will also be carried on WUCT-TV
Channel 51 in Dayton and on Central Ohio
Sports TV, a cable network in
Columbus.
"We
supported this adjustment because it
provides a great opportunity for
significant additional television exposure
for Mid-American Conference football and
that is something to which we have long
been committed," said Ohio Director of
Athletics Thomas Boeh. "However, we
apologize for any inconvenience that the
kickoff alteration may cause for fans from
both Ohio and Miami. We look forward to a
great game on Saturday."
