Big Ten Network

The Big Ten Network (BTN) is an American sports network dedicated to covering collegiate athletic events and other programming related to the Big Ten Conference. The network is a joint venture between the Big Ten Conference and Fox Sports, with Fox Corporation owning a majority stake.

History

The Big Ten Network was launched on August 30, 2007, as a pioneering effort to provide comprehensive coverage of Big Ten sports. The network was created to give fans access to a wide range of sports content, including live games, original programming, and classic games.

Programming

BTN broadcasts a variety of sports, including football, basketball, baseball, soccer, and more. The network also features original programming such as Big Ten Tailgate, The Journey, and Big Ten Elite, which provide in-depth analysis and storytelling about the conference's teams and athletes.

Live Sports Coverage

The network televises hundreds of live events each year, including:

Original Programming

BTN's original programming includes:

  • The Journey: A documentary series that follows Big Ten teams and athletes throughout their seasons.
  • Big Ten Elite: A series that revisits classic Big Ten teams and their championship seasons.
  • Big Ten Tailgate: A pre-game show that captures the excitement and atmosphere of Big Ten football games.

Distribution

The Big Ten Network is available to approximately 60 million households across the United States and Canada. It is carried by major cable and satellite providers, as well as streaming services such as Hulu and YouTube TV.

Impact

The creation of BTN has significantly increased the visibility of Big Ten sports and has provided a platform for lesser-known sports to gain exposure. It has also contributed to the financial growth of the Big Ten Conference, allowing for increased investment in athletic facilities and scholarships.

Criticism

Despite its success, BTN has faced criticism, particularly in its early years, for limited availability and carriage disputes with cable providers. However, these issues have largely been resolved as the network has expanded its reach.
