Ok – so for the game Saturday night, will any sports bar in the area here actually carry the game???
But the biggest distributors in Texas appear to be far from a deal, including the state’s biggest cable operator, Time Warner Cable, the state’s biggest satellite distributor, DirecTV, and the country’s biggest cable operator, Comcast.
Time Warner Cable appears to be the closest of those three, sources said.
With systems surrounding the school’s Austin campus, Time Warner Cable would be the distributor most affected by Longhorn Network, particularly when it carries live coverage of Texas’ Sept. 3 football game against Rice.
Comcast and DirecTV are not close to deals yet, sources said.
