The channel airs in North Dakota, Minnesota, and South Dakota on cable television provided by Midcontinent Communications as well as other cable television systems in North Dakota and Minnesota, and is also available throughout the North American continent via Free-To-Air satellite.
The Fighting Sioux Sports Network airs live telecasts of North Dakota Fighting Sioux athletics. The channel carries all home men's hockey games, several away hockey games, and several football and basketball games throughout the season.
