A Dose of Sports III:
Nebraska Football Game on Pay-Per-View

Kansas State Football HelmetSaturday's Kansas State-Nebraska football game at Bill Snyder Family Stadium will be telecast on a pay-per-view basis by Big 12 Special Order Sports, the pay-per-view division of Fox Sports Net. Kickoff is at 6:10 p.m.

The telecast will be available on cable systems throughout the states of Nebraska and Kansas and Nebraska. Suggested retail price for residential purchase is $29.95. Customers new to Cox Communications must install video service no later than Thursday to ensure availability before game time.

The K-State vs. Nebraska game was bypassed by the Big 12 Conference's television partners for both over-the-air and cable television coverage, resulting in the pay-per-view telecast. Under Big 12 Conference television guidelines, games not selected for regular television distribution may only be televised on pay-per-view during a conference television window.

Participating cable and satellite providers will offer the telecast to their customers on a specially designated pay-per-view channel. The telecast will not pre-empt FSN's regularly scheduled programming.
