Rebels game vs. Wisconsin to be televised on tape delay

UNLV's football game at No. 14 Wisconsin will be televised locally on a tape-delayed basis early Sunday morning.

The contest will be seen on PBS KLVX Channel 10 starting at 12:30 a.m. Sunday. The broadcast, which is being underwritten by a gift from UNLV head coach Jeff Horton, Tom Weisner and Big Dog's Hospitality Group, will feature Wisconsin broadcasters who are already producing the game for a tape-delayed showing in Madison.

"I wanted the people back here to see just what a great atmosphere for college football they have back there," Horton said. "When you play the 14th ranked team in the country, it should be on TV. Hopefully, they'll see a big win by the Rebels."

UNLV is unable to broadcast the game live because of conflicting Big Ten television contracts. The game can be heard live on radio on KXNT-AM 840 with the pregame show starting at 10:30 a.m.
