So basically the lawyers,, (Comcasts and ESPN/SECN) pissed away enough time to cost us the chance to announce this during media days.
Well that is what lawyers do best, (piss away other peoples time).
Time Warner and DirectV are still major players, if DTV comes in as expected, then it's just down to TW to clean sweep the major SECland carriers.
If the news about Murdoch trying to get TW are true then that outfit could be in a fudgepot beyond the start of football season. Either way SEC football is one of the very best products on broadcast tv, you know it, I know it, the American people know it, at least until Obomba imports all the soccer fans to this country.

FWIW I have TW and called and they're telling subscribers that they're going to have it the first week of August. I was going to cancel today and get UVerse but they begged me to wait until the first week of August before I make any decision. Before I was just getting the "we're in negotiations" line.
So I'm assuming that they know they're going to have to shite or get off the pot.

Time Warner, is not the same as Time Warner Cable.
Murdoch is trying to acquire Time Warner.
The SECN is negotiating with Time Warner Cable to get the SECN carried.
Time Warner and Time Warner cable split sometime in the past. Murdoch's bid for Time Warner is completely unrelated to the SECN's negotiation with Time Warner Cable, because Time Warner and Time Warner Cable are no longer related companies
