[edit]History[]

[2] This section requires expansion.

BTN was first unveiled on June 21, 2006, as a 20-year joint project of the Big Ten Conference, and Fox Entertainment Group. 51% of the network is owned by the conference itself, while Fox owns a minority interest in the network, and also handles the operations for the network. The network was positioned to be the first ever cable channel dedicated to a single collegiate conference.[5] The network also has a commitment to "event equality", stating that it would produce and distribute an equal number of men's and women's events across all platforms, within three years of being on the air.[6]

BTN officially launched as the Big Ten Network on August 30, 2007. On September 1, 2007, the network aired its first live telecasts, which included an Appalachian State vs. Michigan football game which gained national attention for its upset victory, the first win between an unranked Division I FCS team and a Division I FBS team since the splitting of Division I into two divisions by the NCAA in 1978.[7] However, the network launched to [8] However, the network suffered from limited carriage on its launch, only being carried by two major television providers. The network's staff however, aimed for, and was able to attain carriage on "extended basic" cable in Big Ten markets by 2008.[9]

While no specifics were revealed, Fox acquired majority control of Big Ten Network in June 2010 using a provision in its contract with the conference, now holding a 51% stake. The change is not expected to alter the channel's operations[10]

In time for the 2011 college football season, the network unveiled a new logo now identifying the network as simply BTN, along with taking on the unified graphical look seen on all Fox Sports networks and operations. The network also introduced a beta version of "BTN2Go", an online service offering live streaming of BTN events and other programming online to Time Warner Cable, Charter Communications, DirecTV, and Dish Network subscribers. Plans have also been made for mobile applications for iOS and Android platforms.[11]

[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 DirecTV and Dish Network; and regionally on Verizon FiOs, AT&T U-verse, Cablevision, Comcast, Time Warner Cable,Charter Communications, Cox Communications, Mediacom, and several other cable television systems.

[edit]Football overflow feeds[]

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 and on the extra football game channels in the remaining markets. Most cable systems inside the Big Ten's eight states offer these Big Ten Network extra football game channels or "out-of-market" feeds. All the extra football game channel feeds are available nationally on DirecTV and Dish Network; and regionally on AT&T U-verse, many Comcast systems, and several other cable systems.

Some providers only carry the overflow feeds in standard definition, and providers outside of the U.S. provide them in out-of-market subscription packages.

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.

[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 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, when the nation's largest cable provider Comcast reached a deal on June 19, 2008,[17](and began adding the channel on August 15, 2008), the other major providers in the Big Ten Region (Charter Communications, Time Warner Cable, etc.) followed suit. Big Ten is additionally an associate member of the Caribbean Cable Cooperative.[18]

[edit]Carriage deal agreements[]

[edit]2007[]

DirecTV and AT&T U-Verse were the only major television providers to carry the channel at launch.[19] Dish Network added it a week later.[20]250 small cable systems carried it at launch as well.

[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 andMediacom said the two sides have reached an agreement in principle. On August 28 the official announcement was made.[21][22]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.[23][24]
  • On August 26, 2008, an agreement between The Big Ten Network and Charter Communications was announced.[25]
  • On August 26, 2008, The Indianapolis Star reported that Brighthouse Networks and The Big Ten Network are "very close to a deal".[26]
  • On August 28, 2008, The Plain Dealer reported that Cox Communications had reached a deal to carry the Big Ten Network.[27]
  • On September 30, 2008, Broadstripe added the channel to its systems in Michigan.[28]

[edit]2009[]

  • On June 23, 2009, Cablevision added the channel in both standard and high definition.[29]
  • On August 25, 2009, Atlantic Broadband and BTN reached a carriage agreement. The channel was added in standard definition and high definition on September 1, 2009 to customers in central and northern Pennsylvania.[30]
  • On December 28, 2009, Charter Communications and BTN reached an agreement to provide the network to Charter customers in St. Louis and Southern Illinois. Charter launched the BTN on its Expanded Basic-Digital level of service.[31]

[edit]Canadian carriage[]

In September 2008, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission officially approved a request by Shaw Communications to allow carriage of BTN in Canada on its specialty television services. While CTVglobemedia filed a concern that it would illegally compete with its mainstream sports channel TSN, the CRTC determined that BTN would not harm TSN because of its "very niche" scope[32] BTN became available to Shaw customers on December 3, 2008. The channel became available on Rogers Cable in Ontario andNew Brunswick on October 22, 2009.[33]
