Will you be posting your Big Ten Digital Network schedule soon? Also, I’m still holding out hope you’ll be able to show more live tv events
We have two products: The Digital Network (http://video.btn.com/allaccess/) airs web-only events that don’t air on TV. Extra games, news conferences, etc. We also offer BTN2GHo, and you can find more about that here: http://www.btn2go.com/btn2go/. Hope that helps.
Any plans on covering the Midlands Championships?
When we have news on this, we’ll post it right here for sure. Stand by, and we appreciate your patience.
Seems like this year’s network coverage lacks the volume compared to years past. Any chance of more coverage?
Kiel, possibly. As you may already know we try to carry events live but the winter season is extremely crowded from a programming standpoint with wrestling events often taking place at the same time as men’s and women’s basketball and ice hockey games. We’ve worked closely with the conference office and the athletic departments to identify the best times in order to carry these events live. But conflicts happen. I hope you’ve seen the significant number of wrestling events offered live on BTN.com. That scheduling process is still taking place. Many of those events will also be televised on a delayed basis. Ultimately, the number of wrestling events on BTN and BTN.com is expected to at least be comparable to last year’s total, if not more.
I just reviewed the schedule. I am very disappointed. I would like to see you double the coverage schedule. You have nothing in December. The semi-finals at the Big Ten Tournament will be great, it would be nice to cover them. If you have to delay the broadcast, I can live with that. Cut down on showing the same event 10 times and show more wrestling.
Buckeyes get 1 match? Dont you have like 4 or 5 channels that make up the B10 network? Looks like stream city.
We actually have one cable TV channel (you can find that one TV channel on your TV system using our BTN channel finder) and we are part of a live stream product called the Big Ten Digital Network. The BTDN schedules for any school and/or sport can be found here.
It would be nice to have more coverage. Even if it’s aired in the middle of the night. Instead of airing the same events over and over thoughout the night. At least then people could Tivo the programs. Just a thought. Thanks.

Click on Sports on the tabs. Click on Wrestling on the left. Scroll through the events in the middle of the page. That’s what BTDN offers right now. Hope that helps.
Minnesota at Cornell live and free on FLO Wrestling tonight at 6pm
What can I say, I love the coverage! Not everything evolves areound hoops and football. Only thing I would change? More wrestling coverage!!!! But hey, I will take what we got for now.
Keep up the great work guys!!
Too bad you could not stream PS/Ohio St. A lot of interest…
Please more wrestling coverage on Big Ten cable television!
more PENN STATE wrestling coverage was not much coverage this year
Your schedule has Minnesota at Penn State on Sunday, 11/20, Could you please correct the date.
Ed, no correction needed. You’re looking at a news story about last year’s wrestling schedule. Here’s the one you want. Thanks.
I am disappointed with the schedule as well, and I agree with one of the other comments that suggested you eliminate some of the programs that are shown 10 times and replace them with more wrestling matches.
I enjoy watching Big Ten wrestling. The more programing the better.
Hope next year’s schedule is improved; there is plenty of room for improvement. I agree with so many others that there is TOO MUCH extraneous garbage and NOT ENOUGH wrestling. Afterall, the BIG10 is the nation’s premiere wrestling conference!
