2008 Nebraska Baseball Format

Husker Sports Network

Last Updated2/28/2006 4:14:54 PM

• Broadcast begins 30 minutes prior to the first pitch, with times rounded off to the closest top/bottom/quarter hour.  Weeknight games with a first pitch around 6:30PM will have a broadcast start time of 6:04PM to replace the start of Sports Nightly.

• 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.

• 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.
   
• Always monitor the home page and calendar of our affiliate website, nebraskaradio.net for updates on game postponements/cancellations.

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