[quote]Especially since AT&T Uverse is going to be the primary carrier of SEC Network and they already have a rather large working relationship with DirectTV

No carrier will be the "primary carrier" of the SEC Network. ESPN, like the other 1,000+ broadcasters in the US, will sign any p...

[quote]CBS will still have the Saturday 2:30 games, won't they?[/quote]
CBS will have the exact same TV package that they've always had with one exception: the 2:30CST time slot is no longer exclusive to CBS.
Moving forward, the SECN can have an SEC game kick at the same time as CBS (2:30p ...

[quote]Does anyone think the SEC Network will hurt attendance ? Every game will now be televised in HD and game will have later and later start times in the future. Alone with the normal early game.[/quote]
Absolutely not.
For the past five years every single home game has been broadcasted o...

ESPN could have announced that Garrison Keillor and Casey Kasem are announcing the SECN games but for most of us it currently doesn't matter.
Why?
The SEC Network has yet to sign a single cable television service provider to a distribution deal....

[quote]You really think ESPN is gonna do that and take the risk of losing out on adverstising revenue by not having big games on their flagship stations? [/quote]
Advertising revenue is minuscule compared to subscriber fees. Subscriber fees is their bread and butter. Also, since ESPN has a family...

[quote]My guess is that they will stream the service. Since its ESPN distrubting the service. However, even if they don't someone will illegally. [/quote]
ESPN doesn't distribute any of their content, none. The cable and satellite companies distribute it. Your ISP (not cable/satellite company) mu...

[quote]SEC Network is currently exclusive to Dish and U-Verse. [/quote]
No it's not. Any carrier can pick it up that enters into a distribution agreement with ESPN. Currently Dish and Uverse are the only two carriers that have agreements. NFL Sunday Ticket is different: directv has exclusivity...

[quote]I hear they are on the last year of that contract next year, at most it is the year after that. So they might lose it. [/quote]
They have first right of refusal and a renegotiation window. The only way they will lose it is if DirecTV passes on renewing the contract. ...

DirecTV's exclusive distribution for NFL Sunday Ticket & the SEC Network
Posted by F1230 on 3/10/14 at 12:50 am
DirecTV pays around 1 billion annually for exclusive distribution rights of its NFL Sunday Ticket product.
Let's make this simple: in order to profit from the 1 billion annual investment DirecTV needs subscribers to 1) subscribe to DirecTV services and 2) buy its NFL Sunday Ticket product. Pre...

[quote]They won't until enough people cancel, outweighing their subscriber gains. LOL if you think the SEC Network is a bigger deal than TWC. Also, they chose not to carry the Pac-12 Network. It's not far fetched to think they won't add it, considering they have Sunday Ticket. That is unless peopl...

[quote]If we assume a direct correlation of population in SEC states/nonSEC states to cable subscribers(30% of the entire population of the country reside in SEC states now), that means we've already locked up about 6 million subscribers in the SEC footprint, and 14 million outside. [/quote]
