ESPN Regional TV and SEC Introduce 'SEC Network' 07/21/2009 |

Exclusive Regional SEC Coverage Debuts in September with Neal, Ware and Capuano

ESPN Regional Television, the new over-the-air syndication home for Southeastern Conference programming, and the SEC announced today a regionally syndicated college sports package that will air in more than 73 television markets, along with the branding of the syndication package as the SEC Network – all part of the groundbreaking 15-year agreement between ESPN, Inc., and the SEC.

Within the nine-state SEC footprint, the SEC Network will be delivered in markets by the local over-the-air carrier of SEC events. In markets outside the SEC footprint, the syndicated programming will air on either local, over-the-air television stations or regional sports cable networks.

Coverage will feature extensive football, men's basketball and women's basketball telecasts, produced by ESPN Regional Television.

"As ESPN moves forward in this landmark agreement with the SEC, ESPN Regional Television is thrilled to provide our viewers with a consistent window for Southeastern Conference football and basketball," said Pete Derzis, senior vice president & general manager, ESPN Regional Television. "With ESPN's multimedia platforms, we anticipate SEC sports will touch an unprecedented base of college fans nationwide."

The SEC Network will feature an SEC football Game of the Week regionally for 13 consecutive Saturdays, beginning Sept. 5. Those telecasts will kick off at noon ET/11 a.m. CT with the live SEC Studio show, followed by the matchup, generally determined 12 to six days in advance. The new kickoff time for the Game of the Week will be 12:21 p.m. ET.

Longtime SEC announcer Dave Neal will call the weekly SEC Network game on Saturdays, along with analyst Andre Ware and reporter Cara Capuano.

The SEC Studio show is produced by ESPN Regional Television at their headquarters in Charlotte, N.C., also the home of ESPNU. The SEC show will kick off Saturday coverage with host Rob Stone and analyst Matt Stinchcomb in the studio.

The regular-season SEC men's basketball package on the SEC Network beginning in January will consist of Wednesday and Saturday games, including doubleheaders. The SEC Network will also offer regional coverage of multiple rounds from the SEC Men's Basketball Tournament as well as SEC women's basketball games on Sundays, also beginning in January.

"The SEC Network, through the efforts of ESPN, will be the largest college sports syndication television package in the country," SEC Commissioner Mike Slive said. "The comprehensive market coverage in the nine-state SEC area combined with the out-of-market reach gives us significant additional exposure for our programs."

The markets that will air the package represent more than 54 million television households, or 47 percent of the U.S. Before the first football game this season, as clearance work continues, the coverage area will be larger still. The 15-year agreement between ESPN and the SEC begins with the 2009-10 season and continues through 2023-24.

For the TBA folks, the game is close enough now that it should start appearing in your channel guides (at least if you have Tivo or another DVR). Check your local listings. :)

I too noticed this.

For anyone in the Greater Los Angeles area

Sec Network: KDOC -56 (SD it would appear)

Maybe everyone could just list what the local channels are, and at some point, make a master list, since the SEC Network is doing such a bang up job of letting us, the fans, know. Because fans aren't important. Just the bucks! :dry:

It should be on WVLT, the CBS affiliate just like the JP/LF/Raycom games always were.
The UT-WKU game will not be on WVLT in the Knoxville area because the US Open people have made it mandatory that their tennis tourney be shown on the main (HD) CBS stations. The UT-WKU game will be on the sub-channel (WVLT-DT2).

:popcorn:

Anyone know if it will be on DirecTV in Cadiz, KY? I'm not quite sure what cable provider/satellite providers cover and where they cover in KY. I'm going to be in Cadiz Labor Day weekend. I'm hoping I can pick it up at my cabin, which has DirecTV, but if I cannot get it there I will be making the 1 hour drive to catch the game at a sportsbar in Clarksville. Any info would help.

Or, if the locals are out of Paducah, KY:

The way I read it is SEC Network is your local CBS affiliate, regardless of your cable provider. cmiiw
