I think I've finally figured it out. For us locals we have 3 news stations that cover training camp 4, 7, and 9. They are all at 10 pm and there sports coverage overlape, but if you watch one you miss the other 2. So I found their pattern to maximize the Bronco coverage and get a good Bronco fix. First Channel 4 starts their sports at about 10:21pm to 10:22pm and it last for 1.5 to 2.5 min. As soon as the coerage is done change to channel 9, their coverage last about 1.5 to 2.0 min. And lastly go to channel 7 and their coverage last about 1.0 to 1.5 min.

Yeah but you could record two channels but you would miss one.

Rep for figuring that out. Hilarious! I love it! I'm going to test it out!
Ok now the guys with the tivo need to figure out a way to package that up for the rest of the Mane into 7 minute power clips for the Mane every night. Hell that would be cool! Probably some copyright issues with that little idea though.

I really pity those cameramen with all the equipment & all.
When it's around 100, they all look pretty gassed.
Anyone else notice that the t-v guys disappear inside the complex for loooong stretches of time...emerging all fresh & dry to stand a round a few minutes before they make a report they've scribbled down near the entrance to the main building.
Makes me wonder...well...never mind

It can be done. We Have the technology to make the "Mane" better, faster, and cooler. But there's copyright stuff and might get people in trouble.

Yep. I've also noticed Kaylor pushing the limits of the "Fred Zone". You see this is the boundry line of the fans Wabbit. You media guys can cross it. If you are just a fan and cross Fred's comfort zone he'll let you have it....lol Is it just me or do the radio guys not even leave their shaded little tents?
How the hell are they supposed to see WTF is going on?
Just joking about ole Fred. Late report says he's ligthened up on the crowd. I'd imagine a few mothers called Dove Valley after day 1.
I just think it's great the Broncos are letting the fans around the field unlike years past. Last year we couldn't get anywhere near the field of play. This year has been great. Kinda disappointed they shut off access on the east side of the field after day 1 though. It was nice to be able to get to either field and have a nice view. Oh well it's alot better than Greeley and alot better than sitting on bleachers.

Yeah, well, they DON'T see what's going on...that's why I've been over there more than once...today and in the past 'ecouraging' them to go see what they're pontificating about
...I just think it's great the Broncos are letting the fans around the field unlike years past. Last year we couldn't get anywhere near the field of play....
That comes from Shanahan...or so I've heard. He's really eased up on fan restrictions in regards to player access...and honestly, the players love it.
You'll notice they'll respond more to hoots and whistles from a great play or hit.
Shanahan is a smart guy...this team isn't just a franchise...it's an important part of the very fabric of this community.
It's also why players love to play here
I did expect more people out there, honestly...but, I understand your average Joe has a few things more important to do between 9 & 5 on a week day.

day.
You got that right. There is a local diner I go to all the time. The same old guys are always there in their Broncos hats. Nothing better than walking into one of those places whether it's July or Sept and having one of those guys say "How bout them Broncos!". They always do and it makes my day! I've told them about the Orangemane but these guys are so darn old they don't even know what the internet is. Infact one of the old timers has been doing security at the stadium since the early 60's. I love talking to him.
All we need is 1 playoff home game and a decent chance of winning it. After that anything can happen. This city and the Mane will explode with energy again. ^5

I wish us Bronco fans on the backside of the front range had the problem of "Sports Overlap" with Broncos coverage!
We used to be able to get video on Fox Sports' Rocky Mountain Sports Report but they quit carrying that over here for some reason which really chaps my hide. Last year I was excited because FSNRM was carrying Bronco pre-season games, BUUUUUUT they switched to other programming here in the SLC area so instead of a ball game, we got "Beyond the Game: Mike Tyson" 50 times in a row. We do, however, get Broncos post game coverage on FSRM. At least we did last year.
We get most Bronco games over here in Utah as the regional game but now that ex-Ute Alex Smith plays for the Niners I hold little hope that we'll ever see a Broncos game on Fox until they finally figure out Smith will never be a franchise guy.
Between the Smith love-fest and the slack-jawed, mouth-breathing illiterate Raider lover who runs programming at the CBS affiliate, I will be holding my breath all season hoping I get to see the Broncs and not the Raidholes or Whiners.
Sigh. :nono:

That kills me to. And up untill last year every training camp they had a 5-10 min. show just for camp and now we get nothing.
