Pac-12 Network is restructuring

Good memory. I think you’re right. I had forgotten that Brown was the one who relocated. I do distinctly remember that their justification involved being closer to the legislature, though.
General question...if I subscribe to Youtube TV does that include the PAC 12 network?
Not today it doesn't. I'm carrying Youtube TV for local broadcast channels and SlingTV for the Pac 12 Network, Food Network, and Travel Network. Still cheaper than Comcast, but far from ideal.
Thanks. That was my fear.
I really like Youtube for the local channels and NESN (Bruins+Red Sox), but no PAC might be a deal breaker.
Im watching far, far, far less P12N than I thought I would.

I don't watch P12N between selection sunday and the start of football lol
WTF? You didn't catch the 2002 Fiesta Bowl replay? You're a bad fan.

LOL we got destroyed that day........I don't ever wanna watch it again.
Those guys gave two ****s about that game. That Fresno game still pisses me off, good Lord.
fubotv looks like a good option if you want to get a lot of live sports. Only issue there is that they haven't been able to strike a deal with ESPN/ABC yet. And you pretty much get every other cable network with that. $35 a month.
Pac-12 still doesn't allow you to access an app for its programming unless you're tied into a system package, unfortunately.
Is there a way to access Altitude and AT&T Sports Network without Dish/Comcast/DTV/etc? Rockies, Avs and Nuggets games are really the only thing holding me back from completely cutting the cord I think.
Edit: Sorry, this is not really about Pac 12 Network...

Alright, I'll ask the over-asked question: best option to get all sports networks plus the PACN right now? I did Sling last year, which was ok, except the feed wasn't as high-quality as my regular cable. Are there no options to just pay for the PACN alone somewhere?
Out of my own curiosity, I pulled it up in a browser and checked. It was running at around 8 MBPS. 15-20 is more than fine.
Directv now streaming app has local sports channels. Something like $35 a month.
You can get that without a DTV sub?
No. The pac 12 cannot offer the network on a stand alone basis, per its contracts with the cable companies.
Directv now is its own subscription. Its their way of competing with sling, vue, etc.
If you are an AT&T mobile customer with the unlimited plan, you get $25.00 credit towards DTV Now which means you would pay just $10 per month.
All good and well except that DTV doesn't carry PACN.

This is from a USC writer I read. We're a joke.
- The HBO show “Ballers” includes a joke this season about the Pac-12 Network merging with a surfing channel to increase its distribution.
Found out it is now $40.00 so it'd be $15.00 for me. Maybe P12N will end up on DTV Now this year. If so, I'm going to have to buy a battery pack to put on my Moto Z Force 2 phone.
I believe DTV Now is much more likely than DTV when it comes to the P12N.
I have nothing positive on DTV possibility. I never say never, but...
Seems like there is a strong mutual dis-interest on both sides.
DTV is all in on NFL Sunday Ticket. They don't care if they have the PAC12 net or not. P12N knows that the only way their get DTV on board is by almost giving the product to them for free, and they aren't going to do that because their agreements with other carriers would automatically adjust making the entire product worth very little.
Just looked at NFL Sunday Ticket...no way I'm signing up for that overpriced garbage...$73.49 per month for four months. NFL GamePass is $99.99 for the upcoming season or four $29.99 payments...I'd go with that even if I can't watch the games live. That is something I would love from the Pac-12 Network...watch any game on demand. ESPN+ rocks since I am able to watch every MLS game out of market live plus I can watch MLB & NHL games on demand. I'm going to see how much value ESPN+ has this fall when all those college sports and other sports are going on.
The next MWC contract that will start in 2020 is one that Larry Scott will have to be watching since that could be what the new Pac-12 media rights deal will be like.
