Keep the Horizon League Network Free

To:  Horizon League

On October 23, 2006, the Horizon League launched the Horizon League Network, which was “the premier broadband destination for free, live video of League games and other video-on-demand features highlighting the League's teams and student- athletes.” In the press released linked below, the Horizon League said: HLN will provide Free, live coverage of ...
• more than 140 Horizon League regular-season men's and women's basketball conference games
• first- and second-round games of the Horizon League men's basketball championship

On March 5, 2009, the Horizon League announced that they would move the Horizon League Network to a pay-per-view service, charging $5.00 per game. This move, during the worst recession since the Great Depression, is an ill-advised move by the Horizon League. A major reason for the success of the Horizon League the past five years was the fact that college basketball fans from all across American could watch Horizon League games online for free.

We urge you to sign our petition to encourage the Horizon League to rethink their decision and preserve the free coverage, which made the Horizon League Network the best online sports network.
