The 24-hour TV network that ESPN and the University of Texas are set to launch in August will have a familiar ring: the Longhorn Network. The name and the network's logo were unveiled Sunday during Texas' spring football scrimmage in Austin. A new website, GetLonghornNetwork.com, will enhance the network's reach online, providing an "initial resource to fans looking to learn more about where and how to get Longhorn Network," according to a news release. "We look forward to covering UT sports like never before," said Burke Magnus, ESPN senior vice president of college sports programming. "I have little doubt that the Longhorn Network name and logo will fast become synonymous with excellence, just like the UT athletics program."

I know with DirecTV (grr) that a lot of the sports networks are shown in high channels. I actually get the Big 10 Network, and a couple other stations. So, who knows? I am sure cable providers will offer this station, regardless. Another way to make money, right? Though, with it being linked to ESPN, who knows?

Wouldn't be surprised if ESPN offers it free regionally, and a monthly fee outside of that region. Say 10 bucks a month.

Yeah. Maybe something along those lines. If anything, it should be free to those in the region.. to make them pay would be a stupid move.
