Big Ten Network is a joke

Dave Revsine was on local ESPN radio last night:
* BTN has a 20 year contract so eventually the cable networks will pick it up.
* OSU is very good, B10 is a 3 team race.
* PSU disappointed them when they visited practice
Again ...
BTN has a 20 year deal so it will be added to systems sooner rather than later because they can't "wait this out". |

Sorry I'm late to this mess, but this certainly makes the ESPN PPV Gameplan a colossal waste of time with no Big Ten games...though we can certainly get that all-important Gardner-Webb/Ohio matchup

FYI, I happened to eat dinner at the Fox and the Hound tonight, and I made sure to ask them if they would have the BTN station and the game on Saturday. The waitress checked with the manager and we she came back, she assured me they would have the game on Saturday. At a minimum, it should be a solid backup plan for Saturday. |

For as much traffic as this thread is getting imagine the mess when the masses catch up with the story ...
From today's Dispatch:
Quote:
Meanwhile, some central Ohio fans are only now realizing that WBNS-TV (Channel 10) will not carry OSU football games not shown on ABC or one of the ESPN networks. Viewers continue to contact Channel 10 to ask why the games will not be aired, said Tom Griesdorn, president and general manager.
"There will be many, many people Saturday at a quarter 'til 12 who will tune in to Channel 10 and the 'Oh, (bleep)' factor will kick in," he said.

(You have to put in your zip and set service provider to D* to see the line-up, then change day to Saturday - presently it only shows the channels, no programming information).
Still I'm not happy that it is being bumped for App. State vs. TSUN. Hope the guide updates tonight to show me the channel I need to record. (I'll be off out of town this weekend). |
The overflow channels are 218, 219, and 221. They already are visible on my receiver. If you don''t know which overflow channel the OSU game is on before you leave for the weekend, just set your DVR to ch 220 at 3am for the replay of the game. |

By my count there are 4 (tOSU, scUM, PSU and NW) games total on the Big 10 network at 12:00 this weekend. Do you know if direct TV will have 4 big10network channels to see all the games simultaneously? Or just one channel with the "best game" or "regional coverage"? I have no clue. I'm in Virginia hoping to not get "regional Big 10 network coverage" of State Penn.

No such guarantee from cable providers.

I just contacted DirecTV, and they said they will have overflow channels that are available to all Total Choice subscribers (this is the lowest-tier package, so essentially all DirecTV subscribers). The channels are not being shown on TV listings yet (only 220 appears), but channels 218, 219, and 221 will appear on listings and will be broadcasting come Saturday, September 1st. Basically, if you have DirecTV, you will get all 4 BTN games. 
Edit: OSU SPORTS darts in ahead of me...
