KTRV Fox 12 a Possible New Bronco Nation Television Station?

The Broncos are off this week so Bronco Nation goes back into a holding pattern and with that comes some more free time. Watching my digital video recording of Monday’s Prison Break on Fox last night, I caught a glimpse of a commercial. Typically I skip through commercials, after all that is why the DVR was invented, but this particular commercial caught my eye. After rewinding it a few times, just to make sure my eyes focusing correctly, it appears KTRV Fox 12  is jumping on the Bronco Media Bandwagon. The local Fox affiliate, who scored big with the Fiesta Bowl, will present a show featuring Paul J Schneider, Jeff Caves and Larry Polowski titled Inside the Broncos, the WAC and the West. With KTVB’s contract set to expire in after the 2008-09 season could this be a sign that Fox 12 may be in the running to air Bronco games locally? We all know that tabloid TV, KIVI, went beyond the extra mile in 2006 in providing analysis leading up to the Fiesta Bowl in a possible effort to show Gene and company they were willing to make a run at upcoming contract. Of course KTVB booted often criticized sports director David Augusto out of the booth in favor of Mark Johnson, in what many felt was part of an effort by KTVB to keep the lucrative Television rights to air Bronco Sports. Then there is KBCI, who previously held the rights prior to KTVB. Could the hiring of J Bates as sports director be a sign as well? Note I am not sure exactly what it is a sign of, but a sign none the less. So Bronco Nation, what do you think? Who has the best chance of winning the Television rights to air Bronco Sports after the 2008-09 season?
