[Husker] BTN

[Lynette Tillner]

Gary, 

I always appreciate your excellent information! How does BTN handle games picked up by ESPN/Fox, etc? Do they go to "replay only on BTN?" 

I have BTN on DirecTV here in California and have noticed they replay some games over and over. Yesterday there was basketball on most of the day when I was flipping around between CWS games.

Regarding the Big Ten Network, I'm not sure how COX or any cable system handles that situation but I know DirecTV carries multiple feeds of BTN and all games are aired even if they are airing at the same time. BTN has one main channel and several sub (what I call overlay) channels that are split into regional areas. So if NU is playing Idaho at 11:30 AM and Ohio State is playing Ohio at 11:30 both games are aired one most likely Ohio State on the main channel with NU on a sub channel that is carried in Nebraska etc. 

Speaking of the BTN, with this move most NU game will start at either 11:00 AM, 2:30 PM or 6:00/7:00 PM CT, gone will be the very occasional 12:30 start as every game will be televised.
