So why doesn't the SECN...

[Bobby Ricigliano]

...utilize the alternate channels to show the ESPN3 games on nights like tonight?

Great question. That is one wasted channel. Only time I have seen it utilized is for Alabama's National Championship celebration. What a joke.

I've yet

to figure out what those are for...has anything ever been shown on them? I just assumed there'd be games on them at all times.

They've been used a couple of times for football games early in the season when everyone has non-conference home buy games and if a game goes over time, they'll show the start of the scheduled game on an alternate channel. But yeah, I've been bitching about not using those channels for a while now. You're already producing and showing the other games. All you have to do is flip a switch and it's on an alternate channel and not just the Internet. No reason not to do it.

I've seen some low tier football games on there but completely agree, why not show the other games? And I have Comcast - there are 4 empty SECN alternative channels with nothing on

There was a game listed on an ESPN Alternate channel last week, and when I switched over to watch it it said "not available in your area". I think it may have been one of our games with Vanderbilt. Had to use WatchESPN (SECN+).
