Time Warner Cable Moving BTN to

Standard Service Tier for Nebraska Customers

All Husker regular season football games will be available on Time Warner Cable

LINCOLN, NEB. and CHICAGO - (July 25, 2011) –Time Warner Cable and BTN announced today that the network will be available on the company’s standard service tier for customers in Nebraska beginning Aug. 23. Every Husker regular season football game will be available live on Time Warner Cable during the team’s inaugural season in the Big Ten Conference.

“We know how important Husker football is to our great customers in Lincoln and throughout the state,” Scott Miller, Time Warner Cable's area vice president of operations for the Kansas City/Lincoln division, said. “This move will allow us to keep providing our customers with the best Nebraska football content in the area.”

In addition to Husker football games, fans will also be able to watch many other Nebraska sporting events, including men’s and women’s basketball, volleyball, baseball, Olympic sports and more.

Starting Aug. 23, BTN will be available on channel 24. BTN is currently available to digital customers on channel 333 and in HD on channel 1333, and will remain on those channels going forward. In addition to the primary network feed, two extra football game channels will also be available. BTN Extra 1 will air on 1334 and BTN Extra 2 will air on 1335. These channels are primarily used during football season when games air simultaneously to ensure all conference games are available to customers in their entirety.

“This is great for Husker fans, now that they’re a part of the Big Ten Conference, to see games on Time Warner Cable’s standard service tier,” BTN President Mark Silverman said. “Time Warner Cable has a huge presence in Nebraska, and we’re excited to be making this move.”

“We’re pleased that Time Warner Cable has moved the Big Ten Network to their standard service tier,” Nebraska Athletic Director Tom Osborne said. “Our athletic department has had a strong relationship with Time Warner Cable for a long time, and we’re pleased that they will continue to carry our athletic events and provide Husker and Big Ten content to our fans throughout Nebraska.”

For those of you who did not know this... This will now open the door for Dish to put on their format to be a part of their regular programs rather than paying extra for the sports pkg that it was requiring before hand...

Just an FYI...

We be getting closer to the season...

ct..did you ever see or answer my question? if you get like directv, do you get american channels?

 

[corn train]

Not sure

Well we get sat. cable but the only US sports channel I get is Npse, however the programing on it is not the same, it's almost worthless. But there's a lot of other US cable channels too.
If I get another dish and a special box then I can get AFN, free sat programing from the States with like 30 channels, and they will just pop games on whatever channels they feel like, there is no guide of what will be on at any given point for the games so whatever they decide on is what we get.

It's something, but my only hope to see live games is when they play on Npse. Or online stream, with my download speed under 1mb per sec. it will be fucking impossible

great news for TW subscribers! Now hopefully dish network will follow suit and open it up to nebraska customers without making them pay the extra 8 bucks a month, although I will continue to pay it cause NFL redzone is the t-i-t-s.
