Sean,
Don't you find it funny that OMH continues to give the Cold Shoulder to local TV.

Look at the comic book thing. It lists CBS and not KMTV. But for the radio is list KOZN 1620 and and ESPN Radio. Just a thought. I don't want to here about other CBS affiliates in the state and that would be confusing. The Super Bowl is on more than one radio station in the state as well.

Actually, OWH goes all over Iowa and Nebraska, so listing KMTV would be REALLY confusing for anyone outside of Omaha.

If you check their Sports on TV listings, they will list KMTV (or other call letters) if something is affiliate-specific (i.e. Creighton basketball games).

As for radio, KOZN 1620 has a large broadcast radius and would be the likely station to here the Super Bowl almost everywhere. They also usually don't give broadcast rights to more than one broadcast company, in this case ESPN Radio.
