Probably have to get the TV contact details all worked out and agreed upon first.

Hopefully you guys can get 50 to 150k out of american network.

I noticed they got the name of the channel changed on the guide to ASNET on the American Sports Network 24/7 channel now on Suddenlink. Hopefully they can get it in HD soon.

What I am watching right now (Tennessee Tech-Tennessee State football) is in 16:9. Not HD but another positive step.

Oh $heet that was funny!

ASN's parent company, Sinclair Broadcasting, is buying the Tennis Channel.

lol.....another in a long line I never knew existed.....and I've won about 6 large on tennis the last few days....

gotta love the jockeying that is going on now within the broadcasting rank and file.....this one can only laugh at this point

It's ridiculous, but then, it's also more choices/options for fans, which in the long run is a good thing.

I think that ASN can really grow. As people continue to cut the cord, they will look for the free alternatives. Getting a 24x7 channel will be huge for them. A set channel that people can get used to finding will work imo.

CBS, ESPN, NBC , etal want nothing to do with the current Coda lineup. Our best bet is for each school in the league to pay the American Sports Network at least $500,000 each therefore assuring their financial ability to produce at least one or two games per week. Thats better than nothing.

This reminds me of when the Speed Channel was taken over which is now FS1.
