Still can't get the PAC-12 network where I live

[Seahawks Guy]

The 3 cable companies where I live in Montana carry almost every single sports network you can imagine that will be broadcasting college football games. Hell, we even get the ACC, SEC, and BIG10 networks!..But the PAC-12 network? Nope...still won't carry it.

Guess I'll be missing a bunch of Husky games again for the 3rd year in a row. And I'm not the only one who's frustrated.There is a plethora of UW, Oregon, WSU, Colorado, and Utah fans in Montana. Adding to the frustration is the fact that all the sports bars carry DirectTV for Sunday Ticket and local cable for local games which also means no Pac-12 Network.

Can anyone explain why the cable companies have no issues carrying all these other obscure college sports networks but cannot seem to find a way to carry the Pac-12 network? What is so different about the PAC-12 network that is has to be such a rare commodity?

A lot of people in WA State can't get it either (me included). Charter for example still does not carry it.

The PAC12 is playing a game they can't win.

Good article and the SEC Network is now on Direc (I'm watching Tennessee v. Utah St. on it as I type this). Screw Scott. He's an idiot and he's hurting Conference members as the article points out.

Hmmmm. It's not listed here in the Seattle area. :?

I don't think the SEC and PAC12 or the same.

Yep, it's not the same.

We're sorry, Pac-12 Networks is currently unavailable in your area with DIRECTV

Pac-12 Network not down here in Portland/Vancouver on Direc either yet we can get the SEC Network. Again, screw you Larry Scott.

And that's the network the Huskies are on next week. :x

 

[hawksfansinceday1]

And that's the network Eastern Washington is on next week. :x

You can't get it or you're not willing to switch to a service provider that carries it?

I have Directv so I don't get it, but I could always switch to Crapcast or Dish if it was that important to me.

 

[Seahawks Guy]

Either I get DirectTV so I can watch all the NFL games (I live out of the coverage area for Seattle, so it's necessary to see every game), or I can get dish network (which I hear sucks) and watch all the Huskies games.

Networks oughta just stream their broadcasts...seems like it would be their best interest to do so (reach a much larger audience).

How's it Scott's fault that DTV and charter won't pay the same as dish and comcast?

It's not. Anyone who thinks that generally has no clue what they are talking about.

Besides that, it's only a matter of time before Sunday Ticket is no longer a DirecTV exclusive. Those walls are already crumbling, and the NFL knows how much revenue they are missing out on with the exclusivity contract.

Well, the fact the NFL is about to sign a new multi-year contract with DirecTV says differently.

I am currently stuck in the middle of the state and Charter is basically the only game in town.

DirecTV and Dish a still doable for you.

Well, that is disappointing.

Not quite sure of why they are making it so expensive and elusive. My mom loves USC and wants all their games but DirecTv wants $34 a month for the Pac12 network alone !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
