American Sports Net going 24/7 starting Monday

[Coach Bill Lewis]

Will be on digital sub-channels in select markets initially. Will expand over time.

As MattSarz mentioned on Twitter, could be related to the next C-USA contract announcement. Go buy yourself a nice OTA antenna.

Wake me when they are in the DFW metroplex

I get them on channel 24 on Time Warner (KTXD).

I'm surrprised noone has tried a sports diginet before. They'll have to watch their costs, but there are a growing market of cord cutters for advertisers to reach. Even the major  networks are creating diginets.

Directv carries them nation wide often on the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN). I have watched many UNT games on American Sports Network. Their production is not as slick as Fox, but they are getting better and better, and they are enthusiastic about the teams they show. They also talk very positively about Conference USA.

Sorry. Don't recall. However, basically right now ASN buys the game, and then resells it across many TV channels. For example, yesterday men BBall game was on 4 to 5 channels at least. I watched it on MASN. All or most of the channels, however, currently require a premium sports subscription.  The easiest way to find a complete listing is to add UNT to your favorites, then go to Menu -> Search & Browse -> Sports and it will then show a list of UNT games, then select UNT game, and it will provide a listing of every channel that carries the selected game.

The game was on local channel KTXD yesterday. It's channel 47 on Dish and Direct TV, and that may be its actual channel on regular TV. Don't know if it was a one time thing or not.
