Kim Carver who is the vice president and general manager of the MountainWest Sports Network brings an announcement of more agreements that increase the viewing area of the Mountain West Sports Network. Two more cable operators are picked up The Mtn. as well as expanding coverage under DirecTv's Choice package.

Affiliate	Location	Level of Service
Orbitel Communications	Maricopa, AZ	Digital Connect
Prime Time Communications	Elizabeth, CO Henderson, NV St. George, UT	Basic Digital Basic Basic

Additional DIRECTV CHOICE^TM package availability now includes:

Albuquerque-Santa Fe DMA in the state of Arizona
Cheyenne-Scotts Bluff DMA in the state of Nebraska
Denver DMA in the states of Nebraska and South Dakota
Rapid City DMA in the states of Montana, Nebraska, and South Dakota
Salt Lake City DMA in the state of Idaho

The Mtn. will also be carried on select DIRECTV Mas^TM (Spanish-language programming package) and MDU packages (multiple dwelling unit), available to residents of apartment complexes. Customers throughout the remainder of the county will be able to access The Mtn. with a subscription to DIRECTV's SPORTS PACK.

Good news that the league is slowly but surely increasing their foot print, but Dish Network is a must to keep increasing coverage of the league and to get other cable providers to pick up the channel. The best way is to get teams to win to get national attention.

The Moutain West Sports Network will continue to grow. For those who live outside the footprint, you are not required to subscribe to Directv’s sport pack. You may simply add the sport pack on game day and remove following the game. Unlike Dish that charges five dollars to downgrade, Directv will only charge you for the few hours you have the sports pack.

Eventually, the Mountain network will improve production and format. It’s great to have a network dedicated to MWC.

Coug you are actually mistaken on that. DirecTv will now charger you a minimum of 10 per month if you order a premium channel like HBO etc, and if you cancel within 30 days or cancel after watching Saturdays game
