Big Ten Network Finally Gets Time Warner Deal

After nearly two years of negotiations, the Big Ten Network has come to terms with Time Warner Cable, following a similar agreement with Comcast in June. TV Week reports that the Comcast deal pays the Big Ten Network 70 cents per subscriber in Big Ten markets and places the network on the a la carte digital sports tier in the rest of the country -- an arrangement that set the bar for the Time Warner Cable deal.

The Big Ten football season kicks off this Saturday.
