DIRECT TV to carry Big Ten in HD
DIRECT TV settled an agreement with Big Ten to carry Big Ten Network and also announced that many games will be broadcasted in high-definition. DIRECT TV will carry Big Ten Network on channel 220 and will be available to all of its 16 million customers.
Other cable operators are claiming that Big Ten is demanding high programming fees as they are forced to pay $50 million annually. Comcast, which covers eight states and has over 5.8 million customers said that they have to increase the package fees to its subscribers. Even without Big Ten in their line-up Comcast feels that thay can bring more games for their subscribers.
