New this year, Midcontinent communications carries Sioux Hockey games in
many markets in NoDak, SoDak, and Minnesota. I'm getting the games in
Sioux Falls, SD. One broadcast mentioned an email from a couple in
Mesa, AZ that claimed to watch every game. I think a large,
conventional satellite dish would work to get the WDAZ (Fighting Sioux
Network) broadcast. FYI, MSC is now Fox Sports North, and they carry a
few gopher hockey games but not Sioux games. As far as I know, neither
direct TV or dish has any plans to offer local channels for a small
market like GF, ND.
