8:54 am on August 31, 2012 | PermalinkSubscribers of AT&T U-Verse woke up this morning to the Longhorn Network, a major win for the ESPN brainchild that has been mostly a mystery since its launch August of 2011.
It can be seen on channel 1609, for those who have U-Verse. As of 9:00 a.m., representatives for neither ESPN, the University or AT&T U-Verse had issued any sort of statement regarding the agreement.
The Longhorn Network went unseen by many over the course of a year, appearing only on Grande, Verizon FiOS and a handful of smaller cable providers. While University of Texas campus dorms carry Grande, it is not available in other parts of campus or Austin. On the other hand, AT&T U-Verse is available in 22 U.S. states and has added more TV subscribers in the last three years than any other major cable TV provider, according to an Aug. 29 press release.
Two Longhorns football games will be broadcast exclusively on the Longhorn Network this season — Saturday’s contest against Wyoming and then next week’s game against New Mexico.
