Dear Pac-12 Fan,
We’ve heard from thousands of DirecTV subscribers who don’t
receive Pac-12 Networks and wonder whether they’ll miss out on their
teams’ most important games of the football season. We have worked
around the clock to make sure that doesn’t happen, but with only a few
hours remaining before the kickoff of the season, we’re writing to
inform our fans that we do not have a distribution agreement with
DirecTV.
This means Pac-12 fans who subscribe to DirecTV are in jeopardy
of missing all 35 football games scheduled for broadcast on Pac-12
Networks, beginning Thursday night.
As you may have read, DirecTV believes that all Pac-12 fans will
be satisfied by the games they can watch through other networks. We know
this is not true, based on the thousands of calls and emails we’ve
received from you, particularly from fans of teams that other
broadcasters don’t typically feature. We also know that the other
networks offered by DirecTV won’t broadcast 20 of the Pac-12′s
conference games, starting with the Cal/USC matchup on September 22.
If you’re one of the fans who won’t be satisfied without Pac-12
football, or our more than 135 men’s basketball games and hundreds of
other live events, we recommend finding Pac-12 Networks with another
television provider.
The good news is that most Pac-12 fans have options. These fans
can switch their television service to one of the more than 30
distributors that offer Pac-12 Networks, including Comcast, Time Warner
Cable and Cox. These providers offer Pac-12 Networks’ full season
lineup, including some of the most thrilling games of the season and TV
Everywhere viewing online, on the iPad and on smartphones later in the
season.
In just the first four weeks, Pac-12 Networks will feature all 12
schools, including appearances by #1 USC and two appearances by both #5
Oregon and #21 Stanford. Every weekend thereafter we will have at least
two premiere conference matchups, all of which will have postseason
implications.
To ensure you don’t miss out, please contact one of the providers
below to get Pac-12 Networks in time for the kickoff of football
season.
Thank you for your continued support.
