Time Warner to carry USC spring game
Time Warner Cable will air the USC spring football game at 2 p.m. today on channel 160. The game is part of the company’s special preview of ESPNU from 2 p.m. to midnight.

“We will launch the channel fulltime sometime this summer, but at least we’re getting the game on now and that was the most important thing,” Time Warner’s Dan Santelle said.

ESPNU will replay the spring game at 10 p.m. Time Warner customers must be subscribers to the system’s digital package to watch the game.

I read something that said they'd ESPN and Time Warner had reached an agreement for TWC to carry ESPNU on all their systems, but they haven't agreed on a date when it would begin. So I think it's up to each individual system to come up with the details for getting it on the air. I heard TWC in Charlotte is in no hurry to get it done either.

It'll probably be sports packaged.
