Bright House Networks sports fans have much more to cheer about this sports season. Bright House Networks is expanding its Sports Pack and overall sports lineup for an even more intense sports experience.

Coming soon, Bright House Networks Sports Pack customers will get a rush out of an innovative Internet service called SPEED2.com.  It’s a new FOX Sports online video network featuring high quality motorsports programming. With exclusive access to SPEED2.com, Sports Pack customers will be able to tune in to racing content from any Internet based connection at home or on the road.  SPEED2.com will feature exclusive LIVE races, on-demand international racing and more.
 
That’s just the start. Bright House Networks is also adding 3 new sports channels to its Sports Pack lineup.  On September 30, 2010, customers who subscribe to the Sports Pack will receive the New England Sports Network (NESN), MavTV HD and GolTV HD.
 
These latest additions add to the recent launch of ESPN Goal Line HD. Now available to Sports Pack customers, ESPN Goal Line HD features real-time, live action college football highlights from ESPN’s family of networks each Saturday throughout the college season. Tampa Bay customers are among the first in the local area to have access to ESPN Goal Line HD.

There’s much more on the way as Bright House Networks has plans to add even more HD channels to the Sports Pack lineup soon. Here’s a look:

“The addition of these new sports channels, now online, on TV and in HD, further illustrates Bright House Networks commitment to deliver the highest quality new programming that our customers are looking for,”    says Mike Robertson, Bright House Networks Tampa Bay Division President. “We’re pleased our content can appeal to so many different interests and look forward to further expanding our entertainment options.”
Bright House Networks Sports Pack is an optional service available to customers with Digital Cable Service. Beginning November 1, 2010, the price to subscribe for Bright House Networks Sports Pack will be $5.99 per month.

An HDTV and HD converter are required to view HD programming. Internet service is required to view Speed2.com. To access Speed2.com coverage once available, Bright House Networks Sports Pack customers will visit www.speed2.com and follow the instructions to log in using their Bright House Networks My Services account.
