Longhorn Network - Just say 'No'
I greatly appreciate the value provided by AT&T in bundling tv/wireless/internet services. Similarly, the bundling of channels allows customers to access a variety of programming at substantial savings.
However, occasionally, programming comes along that is so expensive and directed at such a narrow, niche market that it deserves to be left off of the programming options or ordered solely as an 'a la carte' option. If the reports about the price tag to cable providers to offer the 'longhorn network' (by ESPN) are accurate, the only way it could be added to current bundled programming packages is at substantial cost to MANY people who have no interest in the programming.
Please AT&T, keep prices low, by either not offering or charging ONLY those who desire this programming option.
Thanks!

Yeah. When you read that Facebook page, you will see some of the strategies suggested. Some have even stated that if their TV provider picks up the network, they will cancel their service. I wonder what they will do when all providers are carrying the channel.

Hulu? You Tube? Netflix? Redbox? Sports bar?

LOL. As I said, sports fans tend to be very emotional and do not always say or do things that seem rational.

Another reason I don't partake.
Looks like they're gone, and we're talking to ourselves. Solved!

If it would be possible to offer it in u-200 in the area defined in the announcement, and Sports Pack or u-300 elsewhere, that's what I would ask them to do.
In order to be carried in as many houses as possible, I'd bet they do NOT go ala carte. And what if your favorite team is playing UT and Longhorn Network has exclusive rights??

Like anyone in those 3 states would want to watch that ugly colored uniform team from south of Dallas. Louisiana (LSU), New Mexico (Lobos), Oklahoma (Sooners and Cowboys and Golden Hurricane). Shoot, 1/2 of Texas wouldn't want to watch it because of the other teams in the state, (TAMU, TTU, TCU, SMU, Baylor, Houston, Rice, UNT.)

Don't add it to the U200 package as you will lose me. Make it an add-on, if anyone really wants this crap station.
