esteef 2,679 Report post Posted October 6, 2007 I'm in SoCal (San Diego) and I saw on one of the newspaper sites here that NHL Network will launch here on Nov 1. If you're in San Diego and have digital cable, it will be on channel 333. Cross your fingers! esteef Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
erok 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2007 This may not be any suprise to you but.. NHL Net nabs U.S. Carriage NHL Network, currently on Canadian TV, skates south this month after completing distribution deals with U.S. cable operators Comcast, Cox Communications, Cablevision and Time Warner, and with satellite operators DirecTV and Dish Network. In total, the network will pass about 72 million U.S. homes. Source: http://www.mediaweek.com/mw/current/articl...t_id=1003654871 I also noticed that DTV added an HD channel next to each NHL Center Ice channel - so hopefully I will see NHL Network there too. Lets just hope it launches before Thanksgivng. Keep your fingers crossed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Turkey 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2007 I love that the NHL's big plan is to offer a premium service that no one except current fans will pay for. Way to reach out to a broader audience guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparty13 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2007 Don't know if this has been posted yet. Just got off the phone with Comcast and the guy told me that the NHL Network will be available on Comcast November 1st (with HD channel). It is a part of the NFL Network and a few other sports channels package. I'm pretty sure it costs $4.99/month which includes 5-10 sports channels including NHL TV... not too sure what that is.

NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted November 1, 2007 (edited) NHL network is on here in Cincinnati. For once I'd like to hug Time Warner. Now all they have to do is give me VS and I'll leave them alone. I just don't get it. :nonono: I have Time Warner in Green Bay and I've always had Versus/OLN. However, I don't get the NHL Network. I was watching Center Ice last night and noticed the last game wasn't on due to it being on NHL Network. I need to call Time Warner because if I miss one Wings game due to this I'm going to be uber-pissed. Edited November 1, 2007 by Never Forget Mac #25 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sergei_is_still_a_wing 1 Report post Posted November 1, 2007 is it just me or does it seem a little odd that hockey (of the four major sports) is looking to get its own network. i mean there isn't a football/baseball/basketball channel. there are some stations that key in on one sport more than others but nothing like the GOLF channel that is golf 24/7. however, this could just be in my area that the golf channel is the only one i get. i dunno. of course i would LOVE there to be a hockey channel but i have a feeling not too many places would pick it up and no one would really be able to watch it anyways... jyst my $0.02 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
