I can't see a BevoNet (or whatever it's going to be called) channel ever really getting serious play outside of Texas other than maybe in Oklahoma. Adding the Rangers or the Stars isn't going to change that. Now, if the Longhorns somehow got something related to the Cowboys on their network, then the math changes a bit since the channel would have programming non-Longhorn and non-Texas-resident viewers would be interested in. Since the NFL controls the league TV contracts and keeps most of the archival stuff on their own network, it's unlikely this would happen, though.

What will it show? Highlights? Replays of old games? The less-profitable stuff? The Longhorns will likely be shown nationally on big networks when it comes to football and basketball in most cases.
