One thing I'm a bit curious about.. has anyone seen any indication that any cable or satellite company has signed up to carry the Longhorn Network? It's fine to say you're keeping such things close to the vest, but by this point you need to start letting viewers know what provider is going to carry the channel. If you go to their website it appears that NO one has agreed to carry it.

ESPN is reportedly asking 30 to 40 cents per subscriber household for the channel. That's way too high.

It would be just too funny to find that this channel that has apparently led to the destruction of the Big 12-2 can't be seen by anyone when it launches.
