Longhorn Network now on a national carrier...

Late yesterday AT&T U verse flipped the switch on the LHN. The terms of the agreement have not been released, but it is on the same expanded basic package as ESPN and Discovery Channel.

Also more details were released in Time Warner's discussions with ESPN. TWC would like to partner with ESPN or potentially purchase the LHN from ESPN. This negotiation is holding up a deal for TWC to carry the LHN. However, once this is done TWC will carry the LHN which will then pretty much force the hand of all other providers.

And this is supposed to be of any greater interest than TiC's Big East realignment threads, how?

Just passing along info.

Last one I posted had 42 responses. http://www.theoneboard.com/board/viewto ... =5&t=39598 I'm not going to do the math, but I'm guessing that's better than average here.

Of which a goodly number were your own posts, with the majority of the rest being split between Mucho adding his responses and a few of us going off on a "for all intensive purposes" T1B meme tangent.

Terry, you have to know by now that your Big East realignment screeds are roundly considered to be among the most boring things posted on this board. Other than South Florida fan Mucho, you may literally be the only one here who cares about that stuff. It's the Big East. In the Big Picture it's barely a step above flag football. Then, on top of that, you present everything so drily, with so many of your trademark "to be fair"-esque qualifiers.

The end result is a constant whirring of scroll wheels.
