The SEC announced today a new television network, known as the SEC Network. In SEC television markets, the network will be shown on the non-cable station that currently shows SEC sports. Outside of the SEC, it will be shown on either local, or regional cable networks. The coverage will be limited to Football and Men’s and Women’s Basketball. The network will be produced by ESPN Regional Television.
The Network will feature an SEC football Game of the Week regionally for 13 consecutive Saturdays, beginning Sept. 5. Those telecasts will have kick off times of 12:21 p.m. ET. Longtime SEC announcer Dave Neal will call the weekly SEC Network game on Saturdays, along with analyst Andre Ware and reporter Cara Capuano.
The regular-season SEC men’s basketball package on the SEC Network beginning in January will consist of Wednesday and Saturday games, including doubleheaders. The SEC Network will also offer regional coverage of multiple rounds from the SEC Men’s Basketball Tournament as well as SEC women’s basketball games on Sundays, also beginning in January.
