Wrong again...from a revenue standpoint as well as a broadcast rights one, 2 different companies, 2 different revenue streams. Back in the day, and maybe it's true now ( I'm no broadcast engineer)...radio broadcast originates over a dedicated line, tv is uploaded to a satellite...but I may be way off on that...there are ways to sync up a radiocast of a game with tv. WWL radio offers that with Saints broadcasts. "Turn down the sound on your tv..and" etc. If you don't sync the broadcasts, video will be ahead of audio or vice versa...
You are all correct. Part of it is the radio broadcaster doing a TV broadcast. Some schools do that but I'm not a fan. On a tv broadcast, the picture does 2/3 of the work.
But you are also correct about revenue streams, especially with the advent of ESPN+. It still would be possible to, on the TV broadcast, cut away from radio to run the TV spots. But I think the University is doing the right thing with separate broadcasts.
Thanks. Makes sense.... But as far as that 2\3s thats true. But too often the "tv people" use that to talk 2\3 about other crap and not the game at hand
