The network will cover 80-100 games per year as a supplement to the conference’s men’s basketball agreement with Fox, Ackerman said today in an interview at the Bloomberg Sports Business Summit in New York. The network will be available on Fox Sports Go, the group’s online platform for live and streaming video.

“This is a way to get additional exposure to women’s sports and Olympic sports,” Ackerman said.

In addition to live coverage, the network will produce highlights, and cover news. She said the conference is also considering other types of programming.

If they're smart, they'll make every basketball game available and sell commercial time just like they do for the TV games.

Unless their present contract w/ FOX restricts this is some way. I would imagine some degree of exclusivity was written into the deal. If not, I agree, there certainly would be a market for it.

Are DirecTV subscribers able to use this app yet?

I played with the app this afternoon. I found it inconvenient to use. I'll withhold judgement until I actually watch something on it.
