Awesome. Big Stage, East Coast media.
LARRY LARRY LARRY LARRY LARRY LARRY where can the presser be seen?
Wilner seems to suggest Larry Scott spent a lot of time talking to the head of Fox Sports yesterday.
it could be both
saw that. Being in Manhattan is more about being in the center of the media universe. any connection to the location of the network partner is coincidence.

Sweet. Time Warner owns Austin as well.
Here is some additional info on the PAC network, Longhorn Network, and future expansion. This is from an interview an Austin writer did with Larry Scott today:
In addition, Scott hinted with the network’s formation and the launching of the Longhorn Network next month, that Texas probably will never be joining the Pac-12 Conference.
“I think you could certainly imply that, with the news that we’re going to announce tonight,” Scott said in a phone interview from Bristol, Conn. “The Longhorn Network would be certainly a huge impediment.”
That was the case before Texas and four other Big 12 schools chose to remain where they were and not join what was the Pac-10 Conference, and with a Pac-12 Network, joining that league will apparently not be an option for the Longhorns down the road if the Big 12 dissolved.
That said, Scott remains on the record as saying he expects further expansion and realignment down the road.
“I do think there will be further consolidation,” Scott said. “It’s not something we are looking at now. We did our deal. We’re very happy with it. We’re not thinking or looking at expanding at the moment, but we are trying to create the strongest conference possible. I do feel there will be further expansion, and I want to be an attractive place to come.”
If the Longhorn Network is given permission to televise high school football games, Scott said the new Pac-12 Network would do likewise.
“We have an interest,” Scott said. “If the Longhorn Network is allowed to do it, we’ll do it from the get-go.”

I see Rich Sandomir tweeting about this but the feed just shows an empty podium -- he must have gotten a press release?

They'll carry it -- I would anticipate they will make the subscription fees the operators pay to get it low (at least at the beginning) in order to get the largest possible footprint.
