Calling all BYU and Utah Fans!!


There was an interesting editorial in the Deseret Morning News today that was written by the Athletic Directors from BYU and the University of Utah. For those of you who aren't aware, a new sports network has been started by the schools who are in the MWC to broadcast the games from these schools. So far, Comcast is the only major cable or satellite company that has chosen to pick up this network. So, according to this editorial, if you want to be able to watch these games and your network carrier does not currently have the sports station "the mtn", call your carrier and let them know that you would like them to start carrying the network.

Here is an excerpt from the article:
"Our message is, you can make a difference in these negotiations. In conversations with the MWC and CSTV we learned the satellite companies have questioned our fans' interest in our television product. As alumni and supporters, you have the power to affect the outcome of the negotiations.
We need your help. If you live in an area where your only option for getting the mtn. is through satellite distribution, contact the satellite companies. Let them know you are interested in satellite if they add the mtn. If you already subscribe to Dish or DirecTV, contact the company and tell them you want the mtn."

Here is a link to the editorial for those who want to read it:
U., Y. fans urged to call about mtn.
