Big Ten Network could be taking hold
Just got a note from the Big Ten Network saying the channel broke its local viewing record with the Ohio State-Indiana game last Saturday night.
The game, the network said, was also the highest-rated program of the day across any channel in the Dayton market.
The network received plenty of ire when it first launched two years ago, but maybe fans are starting to like what they see. Or, maybe they just want to watch Ohio State, no where the Buckeyes are on.
I was at a favorite spot on Saturday for the game, Geez Grill and Pub in Centerville, and it was packed. I’m not sure whether they didn’t know that the BTN is on most major providers now or whether they preferred to watch the game with friends.
There were few screw-ups in the broadcast, few awkward cuts away from important shots and seemingly smooth actions all around.
Maybe fans are truly starting to like the Big Ten Network.

The BTN coverage looked unprofessional to me, but it was the only option to watch the game. Either the cameras are low end or Indiana’s lighting is horrible, I’ve never seen a college football game look so dark before.By Jon

I watched the game last week on the BTN, and it was the worst coverage I had ever seen. The camera angles where horrible; the quality was horrible as was the commentary…the price was right though. It only costs me $2.99/month compare to going to a bar and spending money all day watching games…
