ESPNU will be added to Comcast's digital-level cable packages, and its high-speed Internet subscribers will receive ESPN360.com, after an agreement was reached this week between the cable provider and ESPN.
The programming will be available before the start of college football season, but no date has been set, according to Cindy Kicklighter, manager of communications for Comcast. Customers who already have digital cable, or high-speed Internet, won't be charged for either new product.
ESPN360.com features games online. The first game of the Paul Johnson era at Georgia Tech was featured on the site last year, for example. This year's softball super regionals in Athens are on ESPN360.com.
ESPNU will feature an SEC game of the week in football this year, in addition to the 550 live events it broadcasts from many of the big conferences, including the ACC. This week's tennis championships, featuring players from Georgia and Georgia Tech, are on ESPNU.
