Announcement just released from the Ivy League and some network called the American Channel:
[www.ivyleaguesports.com]
I put this in the "other sports" forum because it appears only to impact basketball, football, soccer, softball, tennis and volleyball.
Hard to decode exactly what it means, particularly in regard to Cornell's relationship with CSTV. Anyone have any insights? I've never heard of the America Channel.

Nobody shows the America Channel; it is launching this summer.

I guess it could have been worse. They could have signed with Al Jazeera.

from the FAQ's on America Channel's website:
How can I get The America Channel® ?
Seven telcos plan to launch The America Channel. This represents close to 90% of the projected telco video space. When your telephone company introduces television service to your area, chances are the lineup will include The America Channel.

I am sure that providing coverage of Ivy League sports will be a great selling point for telephone company video...jkahn

They couldn't. Gary Bettmann has secured exclusive rights for when the NHL Versus contract expires.

This doesn't even sound like a real channel. What did they do? What does the channel have to do with America, other than being shown in this country. This is so stupid.

Check out the "programming" link. It looks like a lot of heartwarming documentary stuff.johnny923

It's vagueness makes me think of George Constanza's fake holiday charity, The Human Fund (slogan: Money For People).
