No Lincoln Financial SEC football in Jackson?

Since WJKT channel 16 has switched to Fox, have they dropped SEC football games from the Lincoln Financial (Former Jefferson Pilot) Network on early Saturday afternoons? I know that they were probably obligated to carry Major League Baseball games from Fox, but now that they will be in the playoffs and most games on Saturday will be at 3 PM or later, are they going to pick up the SEC games or not? I looked at the schedule in the Jackson Sun today, and they show the time period that SEC football would normally be on as "To be announced". In looking at Zapit.com and MSN TV, they show Entertainment Tonight, the movie Dazed and Confused, and Memfus Rasslin' ::).

It seems to me that it would be ridiculous for channel 16 to not show the SEC game when there is no conflict with baseball from Fox, considering that no other channel that is available on Charter cable will be carrying it, and they've carried it in the past. What gives?
 
In checking further on MSN TV and Lincoln Financial's SEC network website, it appears that WJKT will carry the SEC games starting Oct. 14, but that there is no game scheduled on the network for this Saturday. I think this may be because of CBS having an SEC doubleheader.

I guess I finally found the answer to my question on my own. Apparently nobody else knew or wanted to post an answer. ???
 
If I had known the answer, I'd have let you know... and I work in the same building as WJKT, and I had no clue.
