Holy Toledo! And people in Toledo will be happy to read this. I never thought I would see this so soon. After some lengthy bickering, the Big Ten Network and Time Warner Cable have reached an agreement this evening and subscribers in Ohio and Wisconsin will, I repeat, will be able to watch the Big Ten Network starting this Saturday. Here’s a brief joint announcement:
JOINT STATEMENT FROM TIME WARNER CABLE AND THE BIG TEN NETWORK:
Time Warner Cable and the Big Ten Network announced today that they have reached an agreement-in-principle on terms of carriage for the Big Ten Network and its high-definition and video-on-demand programming on Time Warner Cable’s line-ups throughout the Big Ten territory, including Ohio and Wisconsin. The pending agreement will ensure that Time Warner Cable’s customers across these Big Ten states will have access to this Saturday’s Big Ten college football season openers and all future Big Ten Network programming on an expanded basic level of service.
I had asked the Big Ten Network about Mediacom in Iowa as an announcement had been expected today, but this is definitely big news.
More on this on Tuesday.
