TV deal adds to conference's reach but Pac-12 remains in stalemate with DirecTV

There was a split decision for the Pac-12 Conference on Thursday regarding broadcasts of its networks in Southern California: Frontier is in, and DirecTV remains out.

A wider swath of the region will be able to watch the Pac-12 Networks after the conference announced it had reached a deal with Frontier to carry the stations.

The arrangement will net the conference nearly 500,000 new subscribers, Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott told reporters at the conference’s media days in Hollywood, though the conference has made no progress in its stalemate with DirecTV.

“Frontier is a major add for our Southern California fans,” Scott said.
