Well, if the BTN is for a niche market, the LHN is even more so. Serves them right.

No kidding. How audacious is it to think mass audiences in other areas of the country want to watch programming about one school in Texas. No one should be surprised by this story.
 

As long as they stay out of the Big Ten, I could care less what happens to their network.

Exactly, I never got this one. Even Notre Dame was not this arrogant. There is something about playing .500 football for two years that just is not consistent the "Horn Network" prestige.
 



The LHN was dead when they lost the rights to broadcast (or even cover) Texas HS sports. There's just not enough content to justify a cable network. It has been tried, and failed, with several times more content than what LHN has the rights to.

At this point I'm wordering what their "Plan B" was (if they ever had one).

Texas still gets their 300 million from ESPN, ESPN is the one left scrambling trying to recoup the investment if it fails. I won't be suprised however to see ESPN bundle the LHN with ESPN when it becomes time to renegotiate the ESPN contract with the major cable providers around the country.
