Time Warner Cable, the country's second biggest cable operator, has agreed to carry SEC Network as of its Aug. 14 launch. Bright House Networks also will carry the channel, bringing its distribution footprint up to 60 million homes. The deals leave DirecTV, Charter and Verizon as the only big SEC-area distributors that have not cut a deal. DirecTV and Charter sources say they expect to carry the channel before its first regular-season SEC football game, Aug. 28.

So is TWC only carrying this in SEC states, or in all markets? I have Verizon.

I see how the pricing works. $1.40 per subscriber in SEC state, $0.25 for other subscribers. Paid by the cable cos of course -- costs will only be "passed on" indirectly.
