SEC Network, TV info for SEC spring football games, Mizzou Black and Gold Game
Per ESPNMediaZone, the SEC Network will air every SEC Spring Football game multiple times on both television and the network's digital platforms. 12 games (2 schools will not be holding Spring Games) will be carried live and in full on SEC Network + with additional coverage on SEC Network Alternate.
No games will be broadcast live on the SEC Network
Instead, the program will house the games on SEC Network+, its digital platform, then re-aired on the SEC Network once they’re completed. The SEC Network Alternate channel "whip around" will have its spring coverage on April 11th (noon to 4 p.m. ET) and April 18th (2 to 5 p.m. ET) to provide live updates.
SEC Network Alternate
On April 11th and 18th, the SEC Network Alternate channel (an additional television channel that's supposed to be used for overlapping live events, though it never has been as far as I can tell) will carry "whip around" coverage between the multiple games being played.
It sounds like the plan is to have live-look ins when something significant happens, then jump to the next game (and yes they'll probably cater toward Alabama, Florida, LSU more than Mizzou). SEC Network Alternate will also air the games scheduled on Saturday, April 25. Every spring game will have multiple airings during the week on the SEC Network.
SEC Network subscribers of AT&T U-verse, Charter, Comcast, Cox, DIRECTV, DISH, Google Fiber, Suddenlink, and members of the NCTC, NRTC and NTTC have authenticated access to SEC Network +.
