Metrocast has now reached a deal to carry the SEC network

Seen rumor DTV may announce today as well but not sure how solid that is. Pressure mounting on them big time now.

Metrocast needed to get this done for their sake. There's no way they would have survived without the SEC Network.

Now they actually have to keep the game on without going out at halftime

The amount of stress in my life just decreased drastically.

So, for the internetically challenged.....does this mean if I have internet with Metrocast in Starkville, but not for cable, I will be able to access games on ESPN3 now?

We couldn't in the past.

Just saw on SPS that it is being reported that DTV and secn have agreed on rates. Still negotiating some other factors.
