OT: Another cable/U-Verse question

[DudyDog]

Sorry, I know these get old...

The reason I haven't switched from my cable subscriber (Metrocast) is because they carry CSS where I don't believe Dish or U-Verse do. Or do they? Does anyone know. CSS has had at least one or more of our games the last few years is why I've kept them.

Next question...with the new SEC Network coming, does it even matter about a CSS or those like it?

Will the games only be on the SEC Network or will some go to these smaller networks like CSS. I know CBS will still have theirs, etc.

thanks in advance.

CSS is only available on terrestrial cable. No satellite providers carry it

I think CSS usefulness will not be worthy once the SEC network is live.

 

[patdog]

No. With the new SEC Network, all SEC games will be on either the SECN or an ESPN network. No more CSS or SportSouth. And I assume no more syndicated 11:30 games.

Pretty sure that CBS will still have a 2:30 Saturday afternoon SEC game and they still get first choice. I could, of course, be wrong.

 

[patdog]

You're right. Forgot to mention the CBS game. The good news is that they no longer have that time slot exclusively. Which should mean fewer 11:00 games.

 

[GTAdawg]

Big, if true.*

CBS will still have the game-of-the-week pick, but it will no longer have an exclusive time window. After that, SEC and ESPN will do the divvying between ESPN, ESPNU and the SECN.
