Bettman said NHL Network within 2 years. But Todays Philly Article says this fall?

and round-the-clock coverage on the NHL Network, which will be launched this fall in the United States.

Will NHL Network only be on Comcast? I hoping I can get it with direct t.v.

I believe the contract says the Comcast has two years to bring the NHL Network to the digital teir on their systems. It could show up tomorrow, or in two years.

Whether or not the network will show up on other systems depends on the individual cable system.
