SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT is a new feature to TheMWC.com where the Mountain West will correct or clarify misleading or inaccurate information appearing in press accounts.

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram got it wrong in a May 10 "College Notes" article when writing about Charter cable subscribers. The notes column stated, "Charter Communications in Fort Worth has added CSTV to its digital lineup, giving cable subscribers their first taste of TCU sports under the Mountain West Conference's TV deal." The statement is factually inaccurate because Charter subscribers were able to watch five TCU football games last fall on VERSUS. VERSUS is located on channel 66 in the TCU area of Fort Worth and on channel 254 for all digital subscribers. Time Warner cablevision in Dallas also offers VERSUS on channel 60.
