Update: The Statesman now reports that Texas Gameday and "sport-specific shows featuring UT coaches" will still air despite the network cutting studio shows.

A Longhorn Network producer also tweeted that the studio shows aren't going anywhere:

Good morning. LHN studio producer here. Headed into the office to work on summer and fall studio shows.



Not going anywhere, y'all. — Ande Wall (@AndeWall) June 21, 2016

Original: When ESPN launched the Longhorn Network in August of 2011, the Texas Longhorns-focused channel promised live sporting events and comprehensive studio shows dedicated to Longhorn sports.

Five years later, the live events remain, but according to a report from Ryan Autullo of the Austin American-Statesman, studio shows will no longer be a part of the network's programing.

Longhorn Network, which shows two football games per year along with many basketball, baseball, softball and volleyball events, reportedly lost $48 million in the first five years of its operation. It's not clear if this move is aimed at cutting costs, but it would take away some of the network's most notable programing.

The network launched will dedicated behind the scenes shows for football such as All-Access, which showed footage from the team's workouts, locker room and the field. Additionally, other notable shows that would be cut in this move include: Rewind with Charlie Strong, Game Plan with Charlie Strong, Longhorn Extra and dedicated one-on-one shows with coaches such as Shaka Smart and the Longhorns head baseball coach.

Though it hasn't been mentioned by any current coaches, Mack Brown, Texas' former head football coach, once said LHN took a lot of his time during game weeks and it also could put his team at a competitive disadvantage because of practice footage.

Texas signed a 20-year, $295 million with ESPN to launch the network in 2011. Longhorn men's athletic director Mike Perrin said recently that LHN is a "very valuable asset we have" and it would "take a lot" for the school to get ride of it.

Longhorn Network had its issues early on, some of which still remain. Cable and satellite providers were slow to pick up LHN in the first three years of its existence, and the down years of the football team haven't helped the network get off the ground with third-tier rights to football games.
