2008 Nebraska Spring Game Format

Husker Sports Network

Last Updated 2/5/2008 2:50:07 PM

• The broadcast begins two hours prior to kickoff.  11:00:00 AM CDT (10:00:00 AM MDT).

• Station ID breaks will be taken near the top of each hour, and will last for 15 seconds.  We do not take bottom of the hour legal ID breaks.

• Broadcast open and close will contain a 20 second donut for local affiliate sponsor mentions.  This will follow the network sponsor mentions.  There will not be separate pregame and game opens and closes, only one open at the start of the broadcast two hours prior to kickoff, and one close at the end of the broadcast.  

• All local breaks contain two extra seconds so affiliates may insert their own local identification stinger.  For example, a two minute local break will be two minutes and two seconds long.  A one minute break will be one minute and two seconds long.
   
• Times shows with a tilde (~) are approximate and may float.  Aside from the start of the broadcast day, all times may float.

• Local Break Outcues: “… Big Red Football”
   
• Network Break Outcues: “…Husker Sports Network”.
