SEC Network?

[bigdawg4]

Will Dish have the SEC Network this fall for the southern area?

There no such channel. You may be thinking of a online deal the SEC has on the Internet.

There is such a thing...

SEC network is not a channel

but a group of channels that ESPN has sold broadcast rights to around the country to show SEC football and basketball games. ESPN Regional TV controls this and if you live in the SEC area most of the channels are the same the RAYCOM games were on last year. The new deal has added many areas outside of the Southeast for SEC football. I believe I read the L.A., New York, Chicago and many other large cities now have "SEC Network" affiliates.

It says it's going to be over the air. Probably on CBS or maybe ABC since ESPN is in with ABC.

I wish it was a cable net like the Big 10 and The Mountain.

Great... useless WAFB and their poor 5kw VHF signal and their SD bitstarved subchannel of WBXH.

SEC Digital Network bringing old football games, less-seen sports to the Web - al.com

This is what I was talking about.

To me, the new deal with ESPN will not be much different than last year. Early games will get booted to local channels.

Thanks. I was unsure if it was going to be a single channel but I understand now with ESPN and the locals.

CBS and ESPN won the contract to provide video feeds from the SEC for the next 15 years. CBS will carry most of the large high profile games and ESPN will pick up some as well.
