What's the status on a SEC Channel?

2arms2legsTIGER · Aug 9, 2007

the Big Ten Network is going to be broadcasting some games this season. I haven't heard much recently about the SEC's plans recently. Any news or details on it? It would be nice to get it partnered with a network like the B10 did and have it added to basic cable. If you got any links, please share.

SEC officials, including Commissioner Mike Slive, admit they are intrigued about the possibility of eventually broadcasting the league's games themselves.

Starting next month, they will be able to see if a conference-run network can work when the Big Ten Network launches Aug. 30, just in time for the 2007 football season.

And though a possible SEC network could not become reality until at least the 2009 season, after the league's contracts with CBS, ESPN and Lincoln Financial expire, Slive and Co. will certainly be watching closely.

"It's a question of how best we can maximize for our fans the distribution of our games and other programming," Slive said Wednesday at the SEC football media days. "There are different ways to do that, and one of those is our own network"
