The Pac-12 Networks went live last night, and the "shows, the graphics, the highlights packages, the football preview show all had the sheen of a professional production." The SALT LAKE TRIBUNE's Scott Pierce writes the outlet on Day One "looked better than The Mtn. looked on Day 2,100" (SALT LAKE TRIBUNE, 8/16). Media strategist Joe Arndt: "A good-looking, clean debut for #pac12networks. First commercial? Dr. Pepper. Plenty of love for UO & OSU too. pic.twitter.com/bMoU8nVY"
On Twitter, numerous fans and viewers are posting tweets requesting that their TV providers carry Pac-12 Networks, and some even received responses. Cal women's basketball assistant coach Kai Felton: "Okay @directv if you don't pick up #Pac12Networks I'm going w Comcast. Hurry up already! You've only got until 9/1! #IWantMyPac12Networks." Univ. of Arizona Public Affairs Manager Sara Hammond: "Hey @Dish - Pac12 Networks launched tonight. Where ARE you?" Official Dish Network customer support Twitter feed: "@ArizonaWildcat We do not have any information on the Pac 12 Networks at this time. We have added a request for you!"
