MountainWest Sports Network comes to DirecTV on August 27th
We already knew the MountainWest Sports Network was destined to land on DirecTV eventually, and while we had heard that September was looking like a good candidate for a launch month, fans of the conference will be delighted to know that it'll be going live on the satcaster this August. Beginning on Wednesday, August 27th -- just in time for the BYU opener against Northern Iowa on August 30th -- The Mtn. will go live on channel 616. Notably, it'll be available on DirecTV CHOICE (and higher packages) for Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming and Dallas / Fort Worth / San Diego, though customers outside of these regions will be required to subscribe to DirecTV's Sportspack.

The MountainWest Sports Network coming to DirecTV
Yeah, the Mountain West Conference probably doesn't get the attention it deserves nationally, but fans of BYU, UNLV, New Mexico, Utah, TCU, Colorado State and the rest can turn their eyes to DirecTV if they're hungry for more. Just recently, the satellite provider agreed to pick up The Mtn. (MountainWest Sports Network) and broadcast it nationally "no later than September 1st" of this year. Channel position and programming package details are still being worked out, but fans can definitely look forward to seeing it switched on before football season hits its stride.
