SEC Network programming question

[dawgstudent]

So are the TV games like this

11 AM ran by SEC network on local TV?
2:30 CBS
2:30 ran by SEC network on whatever ESPN flavor they choose
Then the night games

My main question is - will all night games be carried by ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU or SEC Network?

 

[Optimus Prime 4]

I'm under the impression some games will be on the interwebs only, no?

 

[patdog]

Not football games. SECN+ (Internet) will carry a lot of the minor sports (soccer, volleyball, etc.). We've got 3 soccer games on in the first month, so there's going to be a LOT of games on SECN+.

 

[TossedOFF Again]

I don't think there are broadcasts on local tv anymore. All on SEC Network, right?

 

[seshomoru]

I believe so. The three Daves will be mythical creatures we tell our kids about

No, I think the games will be on the actual TV network. Mainly the old time slots where the local JP game used to be shown as well as the night game that used to be on Fox sports south.

The he first couple of weeks of the season there is no CBS 2:30 game due to the US Open so the SECN will have triple header.

This is actually works out well for us Jacktown area folks because the first couple of JP games were always a mess due to the tennis being broadcast on CBS. So usually we had non HD JP games during that time.

There will be 3 games every Saturday on the actual SECNetwork... an 11 AM game, a 2:30 game, and a 6:00 game...

CBS chose to give up the exclusivity of the 2:30 gametime as a trade-off in the contract "look in" vs paying us alot more after adding aTm and Mizzou... They've still got what amounts to highway robbery for the next decade with what they are paying to choose which game they want every week + the conference title game. $55 million for what basically amounts to the 14-15 best SEC games every year... In the "new" TV world, the conference title game is worth not significantly less than that all by itself...

Some of the games (at least 2nd week) will be split coverage, with one game being shown on normal SECN and the other shown on an auxiliary channel + available via watchESPN.

Right on this. Pretty much every minor sport event will be available on SECN+ (WatchESPN app). These games will be produced by HailState Productions. Minor sports will also have some SEC Network events that are produced by the SECN crew. For example, the State vs Ole Miss WSOC game on Sep. 19 will be on the actual TV network.

Take a look at the volleyball schedule. http://www.hailstate.com/SportSelect.dbml?&DB_OEM_ID=16800&SPID=11005&SPSID=90951
Anything labeled SECN+ is available to watch online, but not on the TV channel. Anything with SECN will be on TV and the app.

That's interesting. All home SEC matches are listed as on SECN+ (if not televised) but no road SEC matches.
ETA: Looks like soccer is the same way. Surely all the schools will have their home SEC matches available, right? It won't be just us.

 

[patdog]

Same with soccer. Most home matches are listed as SECN+, but none of the road matches. May have to do with the fact we already had most of the capability in place to produce HD programming and a lot of the SEC schools didn't. I suspect a lot of the road SEC matches will wind up on SECN+.

 

[hullabaloodog]

Right again. The SEC Network feels comfortable enough State's production capabilities to go ahead have our events available on SECN+. I think you'll see other schools add SECN+ to their schedules once they get all of the infrastructure in place at those venues.
