First off, some information about me. My name is Jason and I live in Ankeny, IA. As a child growing up in the 80's, I was obsessed with media, wether it be radio, TV, or newspapers. That obsession took me to Iowa Central Community College in Ft Dodge were I majored in radio broadcasting and got a hands on opportunity to run a small campus radio station. Even though i'm not in any media industry today as a 37 old guy, i'm still obsessed with media, in particular sports media.
So what is the purpose of Iowa Tube Talk? Well, contrary to what people on either coast may think, Iowa is a hotbed of sports, whether it be high school, college, minor league, or professional. What I hope this blog will turn into, is a one stop shop for a listing of sports on TV in Iowa, whether it be high school, college, minor league, or pro. In addition to the listings, i'll also be posting links to news about the sports media industry.
If you live in and Iowa and are a sports fan, you know what a melting pot Iowa is for team affiliation. All of Iowa is in the home TV market for all six of the MLB Midwest Teams as well as all Midwest NHL teams and most Midwest NBA teams and there are fans of all teams in all corners of the state. Not to mention the huge fan bases of Iowa and Iowa St as well as other regional schools. Lastly, the king of all sports leagues, the NFL, has huge fan bases of all of the regional teams all over the state.
Some of you may know that there are some great national websites out there that do what i'm planning on doing, but my first and primary focus will be Big 10, Big 12, all of the regional sports networks that serve Iowa as well what's on TV statewide whether it be the 2:30 ABC College Football game, the Sunday NFL Telecasts, or the Fox MLB Saturday Game of the Week and all times will be in Central Time. Don't worry, i'll also provide TV listings for those must watch national match ups too.
