* Longhorn Network: Still negotiating
- 40 cents per sub
- In market states: TX, OK, LA & NM
- Negotiations ongoing with several cable operators, including Time Warner & Verizon
- Selling equity in the network may not be needed as originally thought
- ESPN would like to get rights to a 2nd football game. FOX Sports Media Group might be willing to deal if they can sublicense a Big 12 football game to FOX from ABC.
- Rebranding not likely to occur until New Years of 2012
- Should have the NBC name in it
- RSNs will remain under the Comcast name instead of transitioning over
- Golf Channel could receive a modified title
- The channel was branded as "NBC Sports Cable" in presentation to the IOC when successfully bidding on Olympic rights earlier this month, but was considered a placeholder name

Matt: For viewers outside the Longhorn Network markets, will they be able to subscribe to view on-line? ESPN3 reairing the game?
