Anybody else notice that they are showing the SEC Tournament on the ESPN Alternate channel 210 from a CSS feed?

wow. I wonder if the SEC mandated it?
Most likely, I dont know why Charter/Comcast dont let others carry the channel, thats one reason I dint wanna leave cable cause I love CSS.
They were saying on the broadcast of the Georgia game, if you want CSS call your local cable or "Satellite" Provider. When did this channel become available on Satellite?
SEC broadcast contracts are not up for renegotiation due to the A&M / Mizzou expansion. I would bet that the SEC may be forcing NBC/Comcast to try to get carriage on D*, E*, U-verse, etc. It could also be possible that Comcast now genuinely wants to expand carriage of CSS in order to be in a better place to negotiate for SEC rights.

In the past, Comcast has used exclusive carriage of CSS as a selling point in try to keep people from jumping to cable.
I've never understood how cable subscribers get CST around here, and we can't get it on Directv, when they have that channel on Dish?

Directv wanted 4SD and CST as part of a deal and COX said NO.
As much as I'd love to see CSS - I think the game was shown more because it was an ESPN3 telecast. More of them should 'fill the programming void' since theres hardly ANY programming in 210 and 211.
