The Longhorn Network is a regional sports network in the United States that is owned and operated by ESPN, a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company. The network primarily focuses on broadcasting content related to the University of Texas at Austin's athletic programs, particularly the Texas Longhorns.
The Longhorn Network was launched on August 26, 2011, as a result of a partnership between ESPN and the University of Texas. It was created to provide extensive coverage of the university's various sports teams, including football, basketball, baseball, and more. The network broadcasts live games, highlights, analysis, and other related programming, offering Texas Longhorns fans an opportunity to stay connected with their favorite teams and athletes.
The launch of the Longhorn Network stirred some controversy due to its exclusive nature and potential impact on conference-wide television deals, as it is dedicated solely to the University of Texas. This exclusivity led to discussions and negotiations with various cable and satellite providers to carry the network as part of their programming packages.
