I hope that there are some restrictions tonight for the BTN showing the Purdue game. It’s complete BS that you have all your channels empty and you’re not showing the game. Especially since it was listed on the BTN on DirecTV earlier in the week. Your station is getting worse and I will seriously consider dropping it. Please explain.
Kevin, thanks for the note. If you want more details after this, feel free to use our Customer Service page. The CS team reads everything and can sometimes answer things with a little more detail. We just run the editorial potion of BTN.com here, but I thought I’d try to answer this.
The Extra Football Game Channels are only available to the Big Ten Network during the 13 football Saturdays of the season (we don’t control access to them; there is no BTN2 or BTN3, as you’re probably aware). The non-conference basketball season overlaps so frequently with other sporting events that BTN is not provided access to utilize the additional channels. During the conference portion of the Big Ten basketball season, the Big Ten schedules games in such a way where there is no overlap. Consequently, there is no need for Extra Football Game Channels during the conference schedule. If you need it, there’s more about this from a football standpoint on our FAQ.
That’s a pathetic answer. At the very least you should be able to stream this game online.
John, perhaps we weren’t clear. We are streaming the game online.
yeah but you have to pay for it right? i’m already paying for BTN on cable.
Seth, and BTN TV will have a lot of games on TV too. Many of these non-con games are on the Big Ten Digital network. I encourage you to write in to our Customer service team with any more questions. http://btn.com/about/contact-us/
