Wisconsin-Helena Game to be Broadcast on PWFFL Network [12.08.06] -- The PWFFL has announced it is exercising its right to broadcast this weekend�s contest between the Wisconsin Wannabes and the Helena Hobbits exclusively on the PWFFL Network, a fledgling channel that up to now, has only broadcast replays of classic PWFFL games and highlights of Green Bay Slackers owner Dave sleeping through the PWFFL draft. But since this announcement, cable customers in Montana and Wisconsin are wondering if they�ll be able to see their teams play their final game of the season, even though neither team has much hope of making the playoffs and the game isn�t even a sellout. The problem is, the PWFFL Network isn�t available on Clock Clemens Cable, the cable system that serves most of the two states. Customers that have satellite service will be able to see the game, but only about 2.3% of residents have it in both states combined. �It�s clear that Wisconsinites are too smart to spend so much money on something that doesn�t even work when it rains,� a Wannabes spokesperson said.A Clock Clemens representative says the PWFFL Network wants to be on basic cable and charge what the representative referred to as �an obscene amount of money� for every customer�even the ones that don�t care about fantasy football. �What�s the PWFFL Network?� wondered a Great Falls woman identified only as �Grandma Ethel� when asked for comment about the situation.But fans outside of Helena and Oshkosh, Wisconsin�the two teams� home markets where the game will be carried on local broadcast stations�are wondering if CCC will be able to make a deal with the PWFFL Network within the next couple of days to carry the game. �I�m not very optimistic,� said one unidentified Hobbits fan. �But then again, what would I watch�the Giants Defense blow another one?� |
