ESPNU, going to be available?

[cpa4u]

I just found out today that ESPN will be launching a new channel on 3/14/05 called ESPNU. Has anyone heard if DISH will pick this channel up and if so, in which package?

Thanks

do not expect this channel at launch time. at one time charlie said he does not like being the first to have a new channel. expect it three to four months after direct tv gets it.

 

[cpa4u]

why would he not want to have it first? money issues?

DirecTV will have it. I believe it will be on channel 609.

Someone PLEASE wake up Dish Network management.

They're more concerned with grabbing all the satellite orbitals but they are forgetting that there's this thing called television channels that go on them....

Direc tv can have the espnu channel. We at dish are gonna get a new german channel. I guess they took a poll of all the dish folks and we voted for the german channel.
