Just got the following in my INBOX.  Quote:

In addition to this 24x7 full time channel, channels 440-443 will be launched to support additional carriage when there are multiple games at conflicting times. When game content is not being broadcast, these channels will display a slate. This added service will be available at no additional cost to America’s Top 100 customers.
The updated information regarding the station is:
Station:

| I, along with probably everyone else, greatly appreciate this detail.
It's a little unsettling that they specifically mention AT100 customers... hopefully those subscribing to the higher tiers won't take the brunt of paying for this addition.
In any case, I'm happy to see they got this worked out.

Sweet Scott... Dish has officially beat out allot of cable subs as I know comcast is airing out commercials on why they don't have this channel. Does this include The HD version of this channel. Also, CNNHD launched on the 1st of September, Wondering if we will see that anytime soon also

What's funny is I started hearing the marketing campaigns on the radio about their Big 10 coverage on other channels and the 'press release'. Me thinks it was a ploy to prove to Delany and the BTN they were serious.

WOW - that is a suprise! Guess the rate per sub is falling. I would guess that this will be the start of several carriers joining, especially cable in the midwest.
