The Big Ten Network, known as BTN for short, has announced that its popular BTN2Go app for iOS platforms is now available for download on Android devices.
BTN2Go allows cable subscribers who authenticate through an easy process to watch linear BTN programming live on their mobiles and tablets. I have BTN2Go on my iPad and it’s quite the joy to watch. In addition to watching the same BTN that’s available on TV, there are hundreds of other Big Ten Conference events that aren’t available on TV and can only be seen online.
According to Big Ten Network, the BTN2Go app is available for download at the Android Marketplace. Here’s the Big Ten Network press release.
