Longhorn Network Update, which is no update

[thetruth]

Officials: UT, ESPN working 'very, very hard' to land a LHN deal

I doubt a deal gets done before this weekend or this season. Fans should brace themselves for a potential 3rd game to be shown on the Network though..........................

Third game is ISU no doubt. It will be like the Kansas game last year. CycloneTV is the network that broadcast on local TV in Des Moines (Ames is only 30 minutes if that from Des Moines).

Still time to make good on this season for the LHN! Deals get done in the dark and usually in the nick of time.

DO IT AND SAVE FACE!!!

I just read a re-tweet that said the LHN is going to be carried by ATT U-Verse..Originated from Chip Brown..so we will see..but..if one major carrier bites on the network it will become a domino effect..

Update: Now Orange Bloods is reporting the same thing..

This would be incredible. Is it for sure AT&T Uverse? Link??????

Hopefully if the Uverse rumor pans out the satellite companies and Comcast/Time Warner crumble too. Most likely if Uverse picks it up those want ing to switch to Uverse will most likely miss the first two LHN televised games anyway. Doubtful they can handle/install the tremendous demand in a week.

From a post on Hookem -

What started out as a rumor has been confirmed from inside sources. AT&T has already executed an agreement to carry the LHN by Jan 1. The reason for the hold up is that is part of a package of networks and the details regarding the other networks have not been finalized. Jan 1 is the guaranteed date for airing the LHN. Also, ESPN working on a package deal with LHN and the new SEC channel through Comcast in the Houston market.

Holy hell!

Well I have Uverse but only Internet. But does Austin get Uverse?

Got an article up already on my site. Aaron, you can use some of it if you want.

Everyone is saying it is going to happen..but until it's done, it isn't done. I have U-Verse so it would be sweet but this is the major carrier they have been looking to get..The rest now will have to fall in line or be shut out.

I did call U-verse and ask if this is going to happen..The guy on the line told me there was nothing said to them but from the call volume is heavy on the network..

I have U-Verse so that would rock the f'n house!!!!!!!!!! Any word on when this would be considered a done deal?

I don't believe it will be up in time for Wyoming. Too much to do in such a short time. New Mexico is more likely.

If it was just Chip, I would be a little cautious but Jeff Howe is reporting it and others with inside sources better than mine are saying its very close or is done. I think Uverse is the first on board. It's not the Big 4 of Comcast, DirecTV, Dish or TWC but big enough to create attention.

The deal has been guaranteed to be effective on January 1, 2013. Probably will be operational sooner. Could be the best New Years present anyone ever receives.

Doesn't do me much good since I live in an area that doesn't offer u-verse. I might just go ahead and move apartments to a place that has it. This is serious shit.
