Talked with Charter Cable today about adding the SEC Network.

No contract at this time, but says he expects it.

He put in channel request for me so it would be on record, and said the more people who make the channel request, the better.

If you subscribe to Charter, please call today and make this request. I emphasized the time was near and we needed time to change companies if Charter was not going to carry it.

Told him that in SEC Country, it was more important than all their other channels combined.

Sadly, I see the SEC Network as the low-end place where most of our games will end up. The good teams will still be shown via ESPN, etc...

SEC Network is ESPN, ESPN is SEC Network... How is this low-end?

They are the same company. I see it as an awesome channel with old games, press conferences, all kinds of cool stuff. I'm just happy we have more places to catch our games on TV. It's the worst when the games about to start and I'm having to pay extra to watch it or suffer through a horribly inept version online.

I live in Knoxville and have been told by WOW (formerly Knology) they anticipate having the SEC Network. But it never hurts to keep demanding. For those of u that have WOW, here is the link to request a channel. :hi:

Charter would be foolish not to sign on, the SECN will have an eleven state footprint. The day I called I told 'em Direct TV had already signed on. Get those phones ringing Charter subs !

DIRECTV has not signed up yet. That's what I have and I spoke to them yesterday and they anticipate getting it however, the gal told me that DIRECTV really doesn't negotiate with the channels. they give the network a price & it's going to be up to the network to take it or leave it. I can't imagine them doing this with the SEC network if they know how much business they're going to lose without it

I called last week and was told by Charter not to worry....they will be carrying the SEC Network and will be up and running by football season. I think they are starting to feel the pressure from the fans.

I've already made the switch from Comcast to dish. My monthly bill is way cheaper and I'm getting sec network plus all the channels I already had anyways. Glad I don't have to wonder about when Comcast would sign on and how much additional charge it would be. I'm pleased with dish thus far.
