Title: SEC's new network with ESPN to debut in 2014 Post by: Catch Prothro on May 03, 2013, 10:06:46 AM Quote The Southeastern Conference and ESPN on Thursday announced a 20-year agreement to operate a SEC network that is scheduled to debut in August, 2014. SEC Commissioner Mike Slive said the SEC network will produce 1,000 live events each year, including 450 televised on the network and 550 distributed digitally. Slive says the network will carry approximately 45 SEC football games each year ''and a depth of content across all sports.'' http://sports.yahoo.com/news/secs-network-espn-debut-2014-170531582--ncaaf.html Title: Re: SEC's new network with ESPN to debut in 2014 Post by: ricky023 on May 03, 2013, 10:37:54 AM I wonder how you get this Network on Cable?

The ESPN connection won't hurt either. Their will be a huge interest but ESPN has to make their money back. Advertising will get most but I expect this network to be a premium package on cable costing the average fans like CRS members higher cable fees. The Longhorn and Big 10 Networks are available on my cable now but I do not pay the extra fee to get them.
