It seems like it is sports season here on Comcast Voices. First the NFL Network announcement, and now a little something more for all the sports
fans out there. Today, Comcast and ESPN are announcing that ESPNU will
be added to Comcast Digital Classic and ESPN360.com to Comcast.net.
ESPNU broadcasts more than 550 live college sporting events every year
including some of the top Division I conferences (like the ACC, Big
East, Big Ten, SEC, and WAC). ESPNU will launch on the majority of our
cable systems in time for the start of this year’s college football
season (including our southern systems so our friends down South can
tune into ESPNU’s new Saturday game-of-the-week Southeastern Conference
package).
As if ESPNU wasn’t enough, the agreement also includes the addition
of ESPN360.com to Comcast.net. This means that Comcast High Speed
Internet customers will get free access to all that ESPN360.com has to
offer (which includes over 3,500 live, global sports events annually).
ESPN360.com is set to debut on Comcast.net before college season as
well.
