I saw something on the internet a year or two ago about somthing called "The Football Network" or "The Football Channel" That was supposed to be in the works..Don't know if it ever got off the ground.

The Football Network is expected to launch 2nd Quarter 2003. :)

College Sports Television (CSTV) will be launching February 23rd.
It was formed as NCSN but changed its name recently.
They have a list of all the agreements they have in place showing the conferences and the respective sports to be covered.

Here is a link to their website.

Is ther really enough programming---especially in the off season? then again i could ask that about existing channels too.

D* already has the NFL Channel and there isn't enough programming to keep it fresh. Add a new football channel and it will be the same constantly repeating programs every few weeks.

Maybe next would come the baseball channel, basketball channel, hockey channel. Maybe there is enough content out there, they just dont get the new games on it. Reminds me of ESPN Classic in which is now gone. Those channels could be like that or just a channel to replace the ESPN Classics channel.

Do you mean CNN SI? ESPN Classic is still around.

D* subs, Does the NFL Channel have real conetent or is it basically just a scoreboard channel like NBA TV and soon the upcoming (??) NHL TV.

On Sundays the NFL Channel Changes to the NFL Sunday Snap.(Scoreboard of games)...on non game days.....shows NFL Films stuff....nothing else....Carries No game highlights

Steve, I kind of like the NFL channel. There are documentaries on the Coaches, Players, Teams, etc... The channel also shows old games, and public domain movies that are about football (IE: Ronald Regan as the Gipper, or the East Side Kids).

Everyone on D* gets the channel no matter what package you have. I think that's rather nice :)

There already is an NBA channel. An NHL channel too. As Steve pointed out ESPN Classic is still around. ESPN NEws pretty much subs for CNN/SI.

Unless it's ESPN HD forget it.

What, no interest in the Rugby Channel from New Zealand? (Yes, it exists.) When will the cricket channel be starting?
