I would think that the cable companies would charge ESPN more to carry SEC Network 2 than a channel that only carries a few games a year.

But the channels are there. You're saying some contract provisio is triggered as soon as an otherwise empty open channel (specially designated as ESPN "alternate" mind you, and NEVER used for anything else) is put into use. That doesn't make a lot of sense and, at the very least, would seem a pretty easy thing to negotiate around.
I don't think you get how this works
It's there for run over programming. You can't just go on an airplane and say oh I'm not paying for this seat, it was open anyway.

Do you work in the TV industry?

No but my father did for 20+ years. Particularly responsible for negotiating contracts with cable providers.

I just wish they'd contract out the Atlernate channels for at least the baseball Regionals for SEC teams. Good info.
