[Husker] BTN network again

[Ken Oliver]

Responding to my own email, hehe.  From the BTN FAQ:

Q: What are "Extra Football Game Channels?"

A: "Extra Football Game Channels" are part-time channels that the Big Ten Network provides to cable, satellite and telco systems which allow the network to offer multiple football games simultaneously to viewers. Due to the nature of how the Big Ten schedules football games on Saturdays, the Big Ten Network often must televise several games at once. 

In order to satisfy fans of all schools, the network has offered all of its affiliates the opportunity to make these "Extra Football Game Channels" available to their subscribers. However, they are only available for Big Ten Network programming on football Saturdays.

Q: Do I get "Extra Football Game Channels?"

A: The majority of our cable, satellite and telco affiliates in the eight Big Ten states carry our ""Extra Football Game Channels,"" while many outside the Big Ten region are continuing to make these channels available. The decision whether to carry "Extra Football Game Channels" is made by your cable company's local office. Our GameFinder feature is updated weekly during the football season so you can determine if your local system offers "Extra Football Game Channels," and if so, where to find them in your channel lineup. If you do not get these channels, you can call your local cable office to let them know you are interested. 

So now it seems that I may have to sweat it out for 15 months to see how Cablevision handles this.
