SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT is a feature at TheMWC.com where the Mountain West corrects or clarifies misleading or inaccurate information appearing in press accounts.

While the MWC very much appreciates the efforts of The National Football Foundation, its June 9 "Monday's Chalktalk" included a note about the August 27 launch of the MountainWest Sports Network - The Mtn. on DIRECTV which was incomplete and could be misleading. The "Two-Minute Drill" section stated, "The Mtn. will be carried on DIRECTV Choice Channel 616 and will be available throughout the areas where MWC universities are located." The statement implies DIRECTV will provide The Mtn. only on a regional basis, when, in reality, customers throughout the remainder of the country will also be able to access The Mtn. with a subscription to DIRECTV's Sportspack.
