Hill 'Thrilled' About Mtn. Deal With DirecTV
No surprise here ... but athletic director Chris Hill was excited like everybody else that The Mtn. finally will be available to fans on DirecTV starting later this year.
"The announcement today is a huge step in getting television exposure for our teams," Hill said in a statement. "I know the lack of satellite coverage has been extremely difficult on our fans and I'm thrilled that they will now have another option available to see our games."
Hill also echoed Mountain West Conference commissioner Craig Thompson in saying that CBS played an important role in finalizing the deal that was finalized today.
"CBS played a critical role in the negotiating process and getting this deal done," Hill said in a statement, "and we're appreciative of their effort."
Originally, The Mtn. was co-owned by Comcast and CSTV, but CBS took control of CSTV and its 50 percent stake in the network last month after buying CSTV in 2006.
