SEC (espn) network ready to go
http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Daily...4/TWC.aspx

Quote:Time Warner Cable, the country's second biggest cable operator, has agreed to carry SEC Network as of its Aug. 14 launch. Bright House Networks also will carry the channel, bringing its distribution footprint up to 60 million homes. The deals leave DirecTV, Charter and Verizon as the only big SEC-area distributors that have not cut a deal. DirecTV and Charter sources say they expect to carry the channel before its first regular-season SEC football game, Aug. 28.

Distributors are paying0 p $1.40 per subscriber per month for the channel within the SEC's 11-state footprint and $0.25 per month outside of it. The channel will be on expanded basic tiers within SEC territory and digital basic outside of it. Just last week, the country's biggest distributor, Comcast, signed a deal to carry the channel, joining a roster that includes AT&T, Cox and Dish Network.

They'll be looking to expand their footprint with those terms. I highly doubt that means us, but if they expand it might make room for us elsewhere.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but didn't most of Time Warner in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Alabama get sold to Charter by Comcast? Not sure when that's supposed to transition over.

Yes... sometime at the end of the year.
