[edit] Overview

Available to approximately 70 million households nationwide, the Big Ten Network is the first nationally distributed network dedicated to covering one of the premier collegiate conferences in the country. With approximately 350 live events annually, and nearly all of them in HD, the network is the ultimate destination for Big Ten fans and alumni across the country.

The network is a 20-year joint project of the Big Ten Conference, a collegiate athletic conference, and Fox Cable Networks (a division of News Corporation), devoted to Big Ten athletic and academic programs.

It is headquartered in the former Montgomery Ward & Co. catalog building at 600 W. Chicago Ave in Chicago, Illinois.^[1]

The Big Ten Network is majority-owned (51%) by the Big Ten Conference, with Fox Cable Networks holding a minority interest (49%).^[2] Fox handles the administration and affiliate sales operations of the channel. The conference officially announced the formation of the network on June 21, 2006.

The network, which launched August 30, 2007, operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, showcasing a wide array of classic-to-current sports and televising more Olympic sporting events and women’s sports than has ever been aired on any other network. Original programming highlights activities and accomplishments of some of the nation’s finest universities. Each year, the network offers approximately 35-40 football games, 105 regular season men’s basketball games; 55 women’s basketball games; dozens of Big Ten Championship events; nightly studio shows; coaches’ shows; and classic games.

The network currently has agreements with more than 250 affiliates, including AT&T U-Verse, Charter Communications, Comcast, Cox Communications (Cleveland and Arizona), DirecTV, DISH Network, Insight Communications, Mediacom Communications, Time Warner Cable,Verizon FiOS and Cablevision.

[edit] Big Ten Network HD

Big Ten Network HD is a 720p high definition simulcast of Big Ten Network which launched simultaneously to the regular channel. It is available nationally on Cablevision, DirecTV, Dish Network and AT&T U-verse, Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Charter Communications, Verizon FiOs and several other cable television systems. In Canada, it is available nationally on Shaw Direct and regionally on Shaw Communications. Big Ten Network HD utilizes stylized pillarboxes for programs not available in HD. Substantially all of its live events are produced in HD. The Big Ten Network produced more original High-Definition programming than any new network in television history.^[7]

[edit] Football overflow feeds

Even when the network is producing more than one football game at a time, fans have the opportunity to see out-of-area games through overflow channels. Channel numbers and availability depends upon service provider and area. The easiest way to find the channel number for games is to go BTN Game Finder BTN Game Finder. Overflow channels are only available during football season.

Many times on football Saturdays, the Big Ten Network produces multiple games that air at the same time. The network designates one game as its national game, which is shown on the main channel on satellite systems. The remaining games air on the main channel in the local markets an on the overflow channels in the remaining markets. Most cable systems inside the Big Ten's eight states offer Big Ten Network overflow or "out-of-market" feeds used for games that feature teams not located in their market. Customers with all the overflow feeds can choose which games they want to watch. All of the overflow feeds are available nationally on DirecTV, Dish Network, AT&T U-verse, many Comcast systems, and several other cable systems. Some systems offer only some of the overflow feeds. Other systems don't offer any overflow feeds at all. However, some cable systems offer only the game on the main channel in HD and the rest in SD, due to lack of available bandwidth.

[edit] Big Ten Network On Demand

Big Ten Network On Demand offers viewers BTN's programming such as Big Ten Tonight, The Journey, Big Ten Quad and Big Ten Short Stories, original specials, press conferences and highlights specific to each school, as well as magazine and coaches' shows. DirecTV and Dish Network subscribers get content for all 11 schools, while cable customers only receive content for the school(s) in their state. Most content is also offered in HD. The channel's website, www.BigTenNetwork.com, also has a large amount of video on demand content for all 11 schools which is free to all internet users whether they receive the channel on television or not.

[edit] Carriage

Carriage negotiations with several major cable companies were stalled for several months because the cable providers wanted to put the channel on a digital sports tier and charge only customers who wanted it, and Big Ten Network wanted to put it on extended basic so that cable customers would not have to pay extra for it. However, since that time, Comcast, and other major providers such as Charter Communications, Mediacom, and Time Warner Cable and The Big Ten Network reached a deal before the start of the 2008 football season. ^[8] (and began adding the channel on August 15, 2008), the other major providers in The Big Ten Region (Charter Communications, Time Warner Cable, etc.) have followed suit.

[edit] Carriage deal agreements

[edit] 2007

DirecTV was the only television provider to carry the channel at launch. Dish Network added it a week later.

[edit] 2008

In late summer and early autumn 2008, several large cable companies in The Big Ten Region reached carriage agreements with The Big Ten Network. With these announcements, The Big Ten Network now reaches every major cable TV provider in the Big Ten Region.

• On August 23, 2008, Cedar Rapids, Iowa newspaper The Gazette reported that sources close to negotiations between the network and Mediacom said the two sides have reached an agreement in principle. On August 28 the official announcement was made.^[9][10] Mediacom provides service to most of Iowa, including Iowa City, where the Big Ten's University of Iowa is located.

• On August 25, 2008, it was announced in a joint statement that Time Warner Cable and The Big Ten Network reached a carriage deal. Time Warner now carries the channel on its expanded basic service in the eight states where Big Ten schools operate. ^{[11] [12]}

• On August 26, 2008, an agreement between The Big Ten Network and Charter Communications was announced ^[13].

• On August 26, 2008, The Indianapolis Star reported that Brighthouse Networks and The Big Ten Network are "very close to a deal". ^[14].

• On August 28, 2008, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported that Cox Communications had reached a deal to carry the Big Ten Network.^[15]

• On September 30, 2008, Broadstripe added the channel to its systems in Michigan. ^[16]

[edit] 2009

• On June 23, 2009, Cablevision added the channel in both standard and high definition. ^[17]

[edit] Canadian carriage

In September 2008, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission officially approved a request by Shaw Communications to allow carriage of the Big Ten Network in Canada on digital cable television. Although CTVglobemedia brought up concerns about it competing with TSN (a major Canadian sports network, which airs some college sports), it was determined that it wouldn't be competitive due to its consideration as a "very niche service".^[18] Big Ten Network became available to Shaw customers on December 3, 2008. Canadian satellite provider Shaw Direct also carries the Big Ten Network.
