Everyone gets that you're a liar. Are you still standing by this particular statement, though?

Interesting. So it appears that the deal with Comcast is digital/stream based.

And people mocked KU when they did this with Time Warner. Hilarious

It appears to be on their regular cable network as well.

The footprint is growing. In its biggest deal yet, ESPN has agreed to terms with Comcast Cable to carry the SEC Network. That means it will be available to 46 million households nationwide when the network launches Aug. 14.

So far Comcast (20 million subscribers), Dish Network (14 million), Cox Communications (6 million), AT&T U-verse (5.7 million) and Google Fiber have signed on to carry SEC Network.

DirecTV (20 million) and Time Warner Cable (11 million) are still in discussions but do not have deals done.

Comcast offers cable throughout Kentucky, though not in Louisville in Lexington, where Time Warner Cable is the provider.

As part of its agreement with ESPN, Comcast will also make SEC Network available on its digital platforms, including the Xfinity TV Go app and website, WatchESPN and SECNetwork.com, with the ability to watch the network live and on-demand any time on any device.

"We are extremely pleased to have reached this agreement with ESPN to deliver the SEC Network to Xfinity TV customers on multiple platforms," Comcast executive Matt Strauss said in a news release. "Whether in the home or on the go, Xfinity TV customers will be able to watch their favorite Southeastern Conference teams in more ways than ever before."

Disney and ESPN Media Networks senior vice president Sean Breen said the new SEC Network "continues to attract great demand from consumers across the country and adds significant value for our affiliates leading up to the national network's launch next month."

The SEC Network will air more than 1,000 live events in the first year, including 45 exclusive SEC football games, 100 men's basketball games, 60 women's basketball games and 75 baseball games.

Liars post false arrest reports. Have you retracted that one yet, or are you still comfortable being known as a liar?

Good Lord, you're a clown. As you know, I said that I made a mistake in posting a link to a Fox news story. I said that I wouldn't make that mistake again. Not sure how my trusting the credibility of a Fox news source makes me a liar. It did, however, cause me to review my judgment when considering such sources.

[Prison Bitch]

So you're blaming someone else for your lie, not the fact that I had to post the actual retraction since you wouldn't. Liars post false stories, and liars don't take responsibility for lying. Good work Pitt.

Posting a story later shown to be wrong is now a "lie?"

You're certifiable.

Stupid people walk into discussions late without knowing te background and say stupid things. In this case, that stupid person would be you.



I notified Pitt that his story was false. All he had to do was say "Oh, I guess that's interesting. Retracted then". Instead he went on some rant blaming Fox News. He could correct his mistake but he chose not to.

Yes this appears to be good news for Comcast subscribers.

I read the exchange. It's not terribly complicated. He posted a story that turned out to be wrong, and admitted so. You keep calling him a liar, because you are unintelligent and don't understand what words mean. Pretty cut and dried.

[Prison Bitch]

Nope. He blamed it on "Fox News" whom he hates for political reasons. (Pitt was unaware it was a story by a Fox affiliate in Dallas which isn't the same "Fox News" he sees on cable TV). It's not complicated dude, shocked you're struggling so badly on it.
