beIN sports launch mid-Dec in all areas, except AR and ID in Jan

Thanks for the info. I know a couple people here have already asked about it. 

Legal notice posted by Cox in the SD Union:

""NOTICE Cox Communications announces the following change to the channel lineup in our San Diego North and South service areas. Effective on or about December 12, 2013, Cox Communications California will launch the following channels: beIN Sports (ch. 448/1448) and beIN Sports en Español (ch. 447/1447). In addition, programming on ch. 125 will change from CornerstoneTV to Revenue Frontier and programming on ch. 197 will change from Cornerstone TV to Canella. Televisions and other consumer owned devices equipped with a CableCARD may require a two way capable device or digital receiver in order to receive all programming options offered by Cox."

Channel 447 and 448 would put it immediately after the "Latino Pak" in SD. It remains to be seen which "Pak" they will be a part of.

Thanks Domino.

Yes, we're (finally) launching beIN Sport everywhere. 

I've put together a quick little chart of the information I have available at this point. Channel numbers aren't yet available everywhere, but (tentative) dates are. This is thrown together from a half-dozen memos from all regions, so it's subject to change, not sanctioned by marketing, might get me yelled at, etc. But I figured people here would want this info ASAP.

Thanks for your efforts and your honesty there Kip.

I also hope you don't get yelled out for informing your customers. You are well aware that some of us have been quite vocal about getting beIN. So thanks again and have a good Thanksgiving.
