Espn U

[Andy]

Hey this is one channel that I really would like to see Directv add because I am into college sports. (Mostly football,basketball and baseball.) has anyone e mailed Directv asking them if this channel will be added when it debutes on 3-4-2005? I have but I have yet to get a response but I will post here whatever response I get.

[Adam Richey]

The fact that it is an ESPN network makes it stand a MUCH bigger chance than a lot of other networks. I believe that DirecTV will somehow find a way to get it because I'm sure they know anything ESPN goes over well, but this really does look like a GREAT channel.

sports pack channel i bet

[Andy]

Why would it be in the sports pack when ESPN and ESPN 2 are part of Total Choice?

[Adam Richey]

Trust me. ESPN U will NOT be in the Sports Pack. Unless it's Total Choice(+), ESPN will NOT agree to the deal. Since ESPN is such a powerhouse in negotiations, they won't budge.

I sent Directv this e mail:

I was wondering would ESPN's new channel ESPN U be part of Directv's line up when it debutes on 03-04-05?

This is the response I got:

Thanks for writing. I'm sorry, but we don't carry ESPN 2 right now. However, we often add programming based on customer requests, and I have forwarded your request to DIRECTV management.

Thanks again for writing and please stay tuned to DIRECTV.com for the latest news and information about our service.

Sincerely,

That is not what I asked and does Directv not know that they carry ESPN 2? LOL

I'm sorry, but we don't carry ESPN 2 right now.

The perhaps Kim would like to explain to me what I'm watching on channel 209 right now :)

[IndyMichael]

Any new news about ESPN U? I wonder how it will affect CSTV? Hopefully they add it when it debuts, and it is in total choice plus and not the sports pak.
