Big Ten Network goes live on Comcast tomorrow

by Darren Murph, posted Aug 14th 2008 at 9:30AM

After what felt like an endless battle, Comcast and the Big Ten Network were finally able to hammer out broadcast details earlier this year. Right on schedule, the channel is expected to go live in the Big Ten region tomorrow, August 15th, on its expanded basic level of service. Of course, the HD feed will be included as well, and fanatics in the footprint can get set as the action begins with Indiana taking on Western Kentucky on August 30th. Are you ready for some football?

i believe the big ten network is available as part of your sports package outside of the big10 footprint. that is what is/will be available in the baltimore/washington area, and probably in new england, out west (where you are), etc.
