"Pac-12 Network: Skinny on Initial Broadcasting Deals"

http://sporttechie.com/2012/07/18/pac-12-network-163/

By Porter Olson

"the Pac-12 Network, has only managed to structure broadcasting deals with cable television carriers Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Cox Communications, and Bright House Networks. Absent from the list are two of the larger cable television providers, Charter Communications and Cablevision. Also missing, and far more problematic than the absence of deals with Charter and Cablevision, are deals with the two largest satellite television broadcasters in the nation, DirecTV and DISH Network."

*********

"Fans of the Pac-12 Conference who find themselves without the network after its August launch should immediately call their local cable and satellite television providers and demand the new network. Don’t assume just because they built it the broadcasters will come. Make the calls, voice your opinions, and get the Pac-12 Network as part of your regular lineup of sports channels. After all, this is truly something exciting. You will definitely want to be a part of it right from the beginning."
