The combination of new distribution agreements and expanded access with current providers means more Pac-12 fans will have options to watch their favorite teams on the Pac-12 Networks beginning in a matter of days.

The expanded reach begins Tuesday, August 27 when Time Warner Cable launches the Pac-12 Networks on its systems in Indiana (Evansville, Terre Haute), Kentucky (Lexington, Louisville) and Ohio (Bowling Green, Cincinnati, Columbus).

Cox is planning to launch in Oklahoma around August 31, Virginia and DC around September 5 and on its Northeast systems approximately September 8.

New providers offering the Pac-12 Networks include Buckeye CableSystem, Clear Creek Communications, Consolidated Communications, Hood Canal, Paul Bunyan and WTC Communications.

Clear Creek Communications is expected to go live with Pac-12 Networks in Portland, OR Thursday, August 30, while WTC Communications is scheduled for a September 1 launch in Topeka, KS.
