TV Answer Man, I’ve read some of the coverage on DIRECTV’s new sports plan. Do you know exactly which channels it has before I subscribe? — Tommy, Des Moines, Iowa.

Tommy, DIRECTV today introduced a new all-sports plan called MySports that the satcaster’s press release says includes roughly 40 channels for $70 a month. (You can get the first three months for $50 a month and there’s also a five-day free trial.)

The new package is initially available in 24 markets including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia and San Francisco. You can learn more about the lineup and markets at the MySports site here.

But before you decide to subscribe, you probably want to know exactly which channels are in the plan, right? And does it really include 40 channels?

Well, before giving you the list, let me note that MySports does not include regional sports channels or CBS. In addition, NBC, ABC and Fox are not available in some markets at launch. DIRECTV says it hopes to secure agreements with CBS and the remainder of the ABC, NBC and Fox affiliates in the coming months.

In addition, a DIRECTV spokesman tells The TV Answer Man that it plans to add your local regional sports network as an add-on in the future.

Now that said, here’s the complete list of channels now available in DIRECTV’s MySports, according to the MySports web page:

BIG 10 Network
CNBC
CNN

DIRECTV 4K Live
