That's the question many of the orange-blooded faithful have been wondering for some time. The Longhorn Network will begin programming tomorrow, Friday the 26th of August, at 5 PM CST, beginning with a special preview of the 2011 Texas Longhorns season with the ESPN College GameDay crew. Unfortunately, it looks like next to nobody will see it happen.
Verizon has become the first national provider to announce it will carry the Longhorn Network, announcing earlier today that it will begin showing Longhorn Network programming to its Verizon FiOS subscribers on September 1st. While Verizon FiOS subscribers will miss tomorrow's College GameDay special, they will at least have the network in time for the opening game against Rice on September 3rd, aired exclusively on the Longhorn Network.
Plenty of rumors surround many other major providers, but nothing has been officially announced. Time Warner Cable and Comcast are reportedly working out the negotiations and may be close to a deal. There has been limited information regarding any negotiations with Dish Network or DirecTV.
