This is an interesting scheme Comcast is pulling...

It used to be you had to get the add-on sports package to get SEC network. But now it comes standard and you have to add on ESPNU and the ESPN news deal. Which used to come standard.

I don’t understand the angle.

Figured it out.

They could have just aired this game on one of the two alternate SEC network channels. And ESPN news could do whatever it normally does uninterrupted.

But the gigantic Georgia customer base already has SEC network.

So situations like this are an opportunity to try and get subscribers to add on the ESPN news package to their contracts. And many will do it, I’m sure.

Don't know if ESPN News is part of my Xfinity package... ESPN3 streaming via X1?
