As of today, DIRECTV television customers will not have access to the SEC Network in August. Call 800-347-3288 to tell DIRECTV you want the SEC Network.

Will DIRECTV carry the SEC Network?

We strongly believe every SEC fan should have access to the SEC Network on DIRECTV and customers can rest assured that is our goal as we continue our discussions with the owners of the channel. Contract talks happen on a different timetable with each TV provider, so unlike our competitors, we have really just begun our discussions and hope to have an update on status as we move closer to the network’s launch in August.

An entire region would be outraged!

a deal will get done in time; however, dtv is known to challenge and temporarily end contracts. So, once a deal is done, I'm sure there'll be more problems down the line.

They all do this. I left Dish during their contract dispute with AMC.

Talked to one of the reps I know and he said they are almost done with the deal. About 85% of all bars here in NC use Direct, would be a huge Blow to Direct if they don't get it done

Very frustrating that this would happen before Cox, Comcast and Charter would be providers

No news and I won't wait for an announcement. The last thing I want is to be shuffling around in late August trying to get a Saturday appointment.
