Pac-12 Network

Those shopping channels pay to be on dish/ directv. If the PAC 12 wants to buy their way on to dish/directv, then I don't have a problem with that.

If they really want to be a nationally carried network, they should drop this 7 channels crap and work deals for carriage of the main channel only for the 90% of us outside the PAC 12 viewing area that have no interest in watching the Stanford polo team or the Oregon timber team.

Until then they are nothing more than another group trying to force 7 over priced niche channels upon every body in America.

I don't disagree with your perspective. But your populations estimate is way off. CA alone gets you over ten percent of the US population. Add in Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado and its well over.

I don't think that economic model is going to help Arizona pay OK State to visit

Wasn't really going for accuracy there on the population. Just making a point that their model is flawed, kind of like the epic failure known as the Longhorn Network. Outside of its regional fan base those 6 regional feeds have no place for the majority of viewers.

I'm not exactly sure of the details, but I don't think the 6 regional networks are intended to be carried on every carrier in the country. The Pac-12 made a big deal out of the fact they alone retained the digital rights to everything. Meaning, they want subscribers of the Pac-12 National network to be able to stream the regional networks online via the TV Anywhere platform - just authenticate through the Comcast/Dish/Direct online portal. I hope the regional networks are not the stumbling block here. Maybe Pac-12 went in asking for all of them to be carried and negotiations will whittle that down. Pie in the sky type thinking. Just get me the national feed, maybe the option to buy the others on a tier, but either way just having the national feed will allow me to stream the locals. In theory anyway.

Hopefully the PAC-12 iPad app will get updated soon so that we can watch video there also.

Wonder if they plan on an android release?

Surprised they don't already have one.

Found this in an article " Only Bright House, Cox and Time Warner Cable subscribers can use the iPad viewer at first, although support should come to BendBroadband, Comcast, Frontier and Suddenlink this fall, right alongside Android- and iPhone-sized apps. Hopefully, they arrive in time for a little ego padding around the Big Game in October."

I wonder how DISH will carry it? I have heard they are requiring most providers to offer it a la carte in addition to being in a sports package. If that's the case, my guess is the main network will be in Multi Sport or you can purchase the whole package (regional and main network) as separate package. I wonder how much basketball, baseball and softball they will show? I can already see the schedules for football (up to a point).

 

[tobsandmags]

Yeah!!!!! It's not a done deal yet, but this is definitely a good sign. We are moving in a couple of weeks and really want to stick with Dish. Looks like that might be possible.

That's interesting to read...let's see how this shapes out, and the other side hoping they work out a deal with big ten

Hope it is before Saturday, Oregon Ducks game is only on PAC12 this weekend.

Having it part of the multi-sport package is only fair to those who have no or little interest in sports.
