Thought I would pass it along for those who didn't know it streams online as well.

Picture quality and the quality of the studio set already blow the MTN out of the water.

Two special guests? My guess = revenge and justice.

Cecil = short and sweet. Looking forward to broader exposure and working with private faith-based institutions who understand other issues like Sunday play etc.

Holmoe:



BOOM--right out of the gate answered my biggest question---EVERY football and mens basketball game available nationwide.



Thank you BYU!

8 YEAR CONTRACT WITH ESPN TO BROADCAST EACH BYU FOOTBALL HOME GAME.



Wow. ND just gagged on their silver spoon.

Same day rebroadcast rights to every game.



On demand access to recent and historic games through BYU Broadcasting.

6 game contract with ND through 2020.



ESPN was the grease behind the Texas deal also.

That is an understatement.

Special guests--Dave Brown from ESPN, and WCC commish.

I am like a kid on christmas morning. This is freaking awesome. Who is going to mention that the first game on espn was byu.

I can;t even get on the BYUTV site it is so packed. 6 year Notre Dame deal is awesome too. Hope it is 3 and 3. Bet with ESPN in on it, it will be.

Am I understanding correctly that even games on espn will be on byutv at the same time?



also what espn is saying about getting big games in here in provo is music to my ears. this happened because of espn. did he just say washington in 2011?

Basically, ESPN is excited as well. Not much new info from Mr. Brown, but did get to see a nice shot of Lavell getting props for building not only BYU, but ESPN as well.

I don't think they will simulcast on BYUTV, but rebroadcast is available immediately after.



The 2011 remark was ambiguous...I couldn't tell if he was referring to another UW game, or just being in the building for the home opener, whoever that may be.

I am not super excited about being in the wcc. sounds like its a long term deal as well. Hope we have some good outs though.



if you didn't get a chance to watch this, make sure you do later! Freakin awesome.

1st change in WCC membership in 30 years. Talk about stability. The WAC has probably seen 30+ members in the last 20 years.

Thanks for the updates. Keep them coming.

WCC is going to bend over backwards to accomodate BYU in scheduling.



No plans for further expansion.

Onto the Q&A....
