Bangor-area viewers may be able to catch all three of this weekend’s Eastern Maine championship football games on television.

Bangor TV station WABI (Channel 5) will broadcast Saturday’s LTC Class B championship football game at Orono High School.

The live telecast of the game between Belfast and Orono will start 1 p.m. Bangor radio station WZON (620 AM) will also provide live coverage of the game.

With WABI-TV committed to a Saturday playoff game, the door was left open for another station to air the Pine Tree Conference championship game between Bangor and Lawrence at Fairfield Friday night.

That door didn’t stay open for long as the folks at WBGR (Channel 33) in Bangor acted quickly to slam it shut behind them.

“The second I realized Channel 5 wasn’t doing the Bangor game, we jumped all over it,” said WBGR sports director John Nash.

WBGR will show the game on a tape-delayed basis Saturday night. The starting time hasn’t been set yet, however, as it depends on whether WBGR opts to televise two of the three Eastern championship games instead of just one.

At press time, WBGR officials were extremely interested in airing Saturday afternoon’s Foxcroft Academy-Stearns LTC Class C title game at Millinocket as well.

If there is enough advertiser interest (commercial spots sold), WBGR will air both games: Bangor-Lawrence at 7 p.m. and Foxcroft-Stearns at 9 p.m. Saturday. If not, WBGR will show the Bangor-Lawrence game at 8 p.m.

Bangor radio station WABI (910 AM) will air the Bangor-Lawrence game live Friday night, while Millinocket station WSYY (1240 AM) will air the Foxcroft-Stearns game live Saturday at 1 p.m.

WBGR’s High School Sports Weekly show did not air in its usual 8 p.m. Wednesday time slot due to technical reasons. This week’s show will air Friday at 7:30 p.m. instead.

Problems with the station’s character generator forced the postponement of the show.

If you haven’t already noticed it, New England Sports Network has added the new Fox Sports News to its programming lineup. FSN – a live sports news and information program – will air each weeknight from 10 p.m. to midnight.

NESN will also air Fox Sports News, which will do stories, interviews, and in-depth features, from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m. on some nights in order to handle late-breaking sports news.
