Carriers/channels

DirecTV: Cold war reigns in the battle between the Pac-12 and the premier satellite carrier in getting them to agree to distribute the Pac-12 Networks. More from Pac-12.com.

DIRECTV is treating you unfairly. More than 60 TV providers carry Pac-12 Networks, and we’ve offered DIRECTV the same fair deal. But DIRECTV continues to ignore their customers and Pac-12 fans. They said "yes" to the SEC Network, Big Ten Network, and dozens of other sports networks and "no" to Pac-12 Networks. They have offered up many excuses, but the reality is that they are depriving so many customers of great content.

Comcast

Comcast has decided to show the network in some markets outside the Pac-12 footprint, although it's still unclear as to which ones are being distributed regularly. DC and much of the East Coast I know will struggle to find the channel.

For those who have a Comcast subscription to the Pac-12 Network, if you're in-market you get the regional TV channel in HD and a national channel in SD only. If you're out-of-market, you're stuck with the national channel only (in SD). The good news if you subscribe to the Pac-12 Network, you should have access to the current online feeds for all seven channels via either Comcast's site or the Pac-12's. Here's the new announcement.

You've been able to watch Pac-12 Networks on XfinityTV.com and the XFINITY TV Go App since we first hit the airwaves, but now there's another way to watch along wherever you are. Starting today, you can access Pac-12 Networks' 850 live game broadcasts, studio shows, The Drive, and much more on the Web, tablet, and iOS or Android devices via our Pac-12 Now app.

Here are the links to each channel.

Comcast does not have TV Everywhere in place, instead choosing to run things through their servers. Much of the original video programming on the Pac-12 site remains totally inaccessible to customers along with access via your mobile device.

Radio online streams: You can watch everything on TuneIn!
