Vorlage:For Vorlage:Infobox television channel

SEC Network is a cable college sports network dedicated to coverage of the Southeastern Conference (SEC), launched on August 14, 2014 at 5:00 pm EDT. The network is operated by ESPN Inc. as part of a 20-year partnership, and features coverage of SEC sports, along with news/analysis programs and other content focusing on the SEC's member schools. The network's coverage will also succeed an identically named syndication package (since renamed SEC TV), which was produced by its syndication arm ESPN Regional Television.[1][2]

History

On May 2, 2013, SEC Commissioner Mike Slive and ESPN president John Skipper formally announced that as part of a long-term, 20-year agreement lasting through 2034, ESPN would launch SEC Network, a network devoted to the conference and an accompanying digital platform, in August 2014. The network will aim to provide "unparalleled content from one of the most competitive conferences in the country with the highest quality, most innovative production partner in the sports industry", and will join the Big Ten Network and Pac-12 Network as television networks devoted entirely to a single college athletics conference. SEC Network will be operated out of ESPNU's facilities in Charlotte, North Carolina. While Charlotte is not an SEC market itself, it is in close proximity to them.[3][4]

During the announcement of the SEC's football schedule for the 2014 season, Mike Slive officially announced that SEC Network would launch on August 14, 2014. Its first live regular season football games will air on August 28, 2014, between Texas A&M and South Carolina,[2] and Temple and Vanderbilt.[5] In all, SEC Network plans to broadcast football games featuring all fourteen of the conference's members within the first month of the season.[6]

Programmierung

SEC Network will air events across the 21 sports that the conference sponsors; within its first year, the network and its digital outlets plan to broadcast at least 1,000 live events, with at least 450 on television. Yearly, the network will broadcast about 45 football games, 100 men’s basketball games, 60 women’s basketball games and 75 baseball games. For football, SEC Network plans to air three Saturday games per week in early, afternoon and evening windows. While CBS will maintain its first pick of games for its 3:30 p.m. ET telecast, it will no longer have an exclusive broadcast window for SEC football games, allowing ESPN's outlets and SEC Network to air games alongside CBS.[3]

Original content on SEC Network will include studio and analysis programs, programs produced by the SEC's member institutions, along with encore presentations of SEC events.[3] In May 2013, Paul Finebaum signed with ESPN to host a daily radio show based in Charlotte, which will be simulcast by SEC Network.[7] On December 6, 2013, SEC Commissioner Mike Slive announced SEC Nation, a travelling pre-game show similar to ESPN's own College GameDay, which will be hosted by ESPN commentator Joe Tessitore, and will also feature analysis from Paul Finebaum.[8]

On-air talent

On December 30, 2013, ESPN announced that former University of Florida, Denver Broncos and New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow had signed a multi-year deal with ESPN to serve as a college football analyst. Tebow also will make appearances on SEC Nation.[9] On March 12, 2014, ESPN named Brent Musburger and Jesse Palmer as lead game announcers for SEC Network football. As a result, Musburger will no longer call Saturday Night Football or post-season bowl games, but will remain a commentator for Big 12 basketball on ESPN.[10][11] On March 24, 2014, it was announced that former University of Alabama and New York Jets quarterback Greg McElroy has been hired as a college football analyst for the SEC Network on a multi-year contract.[12]

Availability

AT&T U-verse was announced as the first television provider to agree to carry SEC Network. On January 2014, Sports Business Journal reported that ESPN was seeking a carriage rate of $1.30 per-subscriber per-month in SEC markets, and $0.25 in non-SEC markets; in comparison, Big Ten Network charges around $1 per subscriber in Big Ten markets. It was also noted that SEC Network's opening doubleheader may have been intended to put pressure on Comcast, Time Warner Cable, and Charter Communications to pick up SEC Network, as they predominantly involve teams located within their service areas.[13]

In March 2014, Dish Network reached an agreement to carry SEC Network as part of a wider carriage deal with Disney for its television networks.[14][15] On April 30, 2014, Google Fiber was added as a carrier.[16] In June 2014, network head Justin Connolly expressed concern for the lack of carriage deals for SEC Network beyond those with AT&T and Dish Network, and considered the situation to be "alarming." However, he also noted that the network may successfully negotiate more carriage deals closer to its launch.[17]

On July 9, 2014, Cox Cable, whose subscriber base includes five SEC markets, reached an agreement to carry SEC Network. Exact terms were not disclosed.[18] Nine days later, ESPN also reached a deal with Comcast to carry SEC Network; in SEC markets, the provider will pay a carriage rate of $1.40 per-subscriber per month.[19] On July 25, Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks reached deals to carry SEC Network,[20] followed by Cable One and Wide Open West on August 1.[21][22] On August 2, 2014, Suddenlink Communications announced that an agreement has been reached and will carry the network starting on the launch date.[23] On August 4, 2014, DirecTV reached an agreement to carry the network as well,.[24] Also on August 4, 2014, C Spire Wireless (C Spire) agreed to a deal through the National Cable Television Cooperative to carry the network and provide its Fiber to the Home HDTV subscribers with access to the SEC Network App.[25] These announcements were followed by Charter Communications on August 6, 2014. Whilst Mediacom reached an agreement to carry the network on August 14, 2014 before the time of the launch.[26][27]

With the Mediacom agreement, there are currently only two major television providers that have yet to reach a carriage deal: Verizon FiOS and Cablevision.[28]

NASA has arranged for the SEC Network to be available on the International Space Station.[29]
