Time Warner Blinks First

Time Warner Cable has agreed to add the Big Ten Network to the expanded basic cable package they offer, which should make a lot of local Badger fans happy. Time Warner had previously stated that they wanted to offer the BTN only as a part of their expanded sports package.

Of course, thousands of Badger fans, including those in Madison and myself up in Eau Claire, will still not be able to watch the regular season opener against Akron this Saturday, because we have Charter cable.

The official Badger football schedule on uwbadgers.com, shows that the first two games of the season will be shown only on the BTN. The third game, at Fresno State, will be shown on ESPN2. All of the remaining games are TBA, but most of those will probably be shown on ESPN, ESPN2, or ABC.
