With three years remaining in the existing deal , the conference sought a significant increase in rights fees . ESPN , however , balked , causing Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany to begin exploring the creation of his own network . The launch of the Big Ten Network was announced on June 21 , 2006 , as a 20 - year joint project between the Big Ten Conference and Fox Entertainment Group . At launch , the conference owned 51 % of the network , while Fox owned a minority interest and handled its operations . The network was positioned to be the first ever cable channel dedicated to a single collegiate conference . The network also has a commitment to `` event equality '' , stating it would produce and distribute an equal number of men 's and women 's events across all platforms , within three years of its launch . The deal was meant to replace the Big Ten 's television contract with ESPN 's ESPN Plus regional television package . ESPN Plus games were typically only seen on one broadcast television station in a team 's local market ( for example , the Illinois Fighting Illini aired its games on Champaign , Illinois CBS affiliate WCIA ( channel 3 ) ) . Original logo used from 2007 to 2011 . Big Ten Network was launched at 8 : 00 p.m. Eastern Time on August 30 , 2007 , with Big Ten Tonight as its inaugural program . The network aired its first live telecasts two days later on September 1 , which included a football game between Appalachian State and Michigan -- the game gained national attention for its upset victory ; being the first win by a Division I FCS team over a ranked Division I FBS team since Division I was split into two subdivisions by the NCAA in 1978 . On September 2 , the network aired its first women 's sports event ( a soccer match between Syracuse University and Michigan State ) and its first men 's non-revenue sports event ( a soccer match between UCLA at Indiana ) . The new network suffered from limited carriage on its launch , as it was only carried by two major television providers . By the following year , the network had reached its goal to attain carriage on the `` extended basic '' tiers of cable providers in all Big Ten markets . While no specifics were revealed , Fox increased its stake in the Big Ten Network to 51 % in June 2010 , acquiring majority control , using a provision in its contract with the conference . In time for the 2011 college football season , the network unveiled a new logo and branding ( which explicitly incorporates acronym `` BTN '' ) , and introduced a new TV Everywhere service known as `` BTN2Go , '' which offers live streaming of BTN telecasts and other programming through a web browser or mobile app . The service was initially available to subscribers of Time Warner Cable , Charter Communications , DirecTV and Dish Network . BTN and Dish Network were involved in a dispute leading up to the expiration of the satellite provider 's contract with the network in August 2012 , a day before that year 's college football season began . The network was temporary blacked out for eight days beginning on September 14 , giving way to a new agreement that restored BTN on Dish Network on September 22 .

Beginning in the 2017 - 18 season , BTN2Go content is also available within Fox Sports ' TV Everywhere service Fox Sports Go . Football overflow feeds ( edit ) On many Saturdays during the football season , the Big Ten Network produces multiple games that air at the same time . The network designates one game as its national game , which is shown on the main channel on satellite providers . The remaining games air on the main channel in the local markets and on the extra overflow channels in the remaining markets . Most cable systems inside the Big Ten 's eight states offer these Big Ten Network overflow or `` out - of - market '' feeds to provide additional football games . All of the additional overflow feeds for the network 's various football telecasts are available nationally on DirecTV and Dish Network ; and regionally on AT&T U-verse , many Comcast systems , and several other cable providers . Some providers only carry the overflow feeds in standard definition , and providers outside of the U.S. provide them in out - of - market subscription packages . Carriage ( edit ) Carriage negotiations with several major cable providers were stalled for several months due to their interest in placing the channel on a sports tier , with the providers only wanting to charge customers who wanted to subscribe to it ; Big Ten Network , however , wanted to providers to carry it on their extended basic tiers so that subscribers would not have to pay an extra fee to receive the network . Comcast , the largest cable provider in the U.S. , reached a deal to carry the network on June 19 , 2008 , and began adding the channel to its systems on August 15 , 2008 ; other major providers in states with universities in the Big Ten Conference ( including Charter Communications and Time Warner Cable ) would soon follow suit . Additionally , the Big Ten Network is an associate member of the Caribbean Cable Cooperative . Carriage agreements ( edit ) DirecTV and AT&T U-verse were the only major television providers to carry the channel at launch ; however , 250 smaller cable systems ( including those that are members of the National Cable Television Cooperative ) also carried BTN at launch . Dish Network added the channel one week later in early September 2007 . During the late summer and early fall of 2008 , several larger cable companies within states where a Big Ten university was located reached agreements to carry Big Ten Network , expanding its carriage to every major cable provider in those areas . On August 23 , 2008 , Mediacom ( which services most of Iowa , including Iowa City , where Big Ten member , the University of Iowa , is located ) was reported by Cedar Rapids newspaper The Gazette to have reached an agreement in principle to carry the network according to sources close to negotiations ; the deal was announced on August 28 . On August 25 , Time Warner Cable and the Big Ten Network announced in a joint statement that the two parties had reached a carriage deal . Time Warner Cable carries the channel on its expanded basic service in the eight states where Big Ten universities are located . These deals were later followed by carriage agreements with Charter Communications on August 26 and Cox Communications on August 28 . Also on August 26 , 2008 , The Indianapolis Star reported that Bright House Networks was `` very close to a deal '' to carry the channel . On September 30 , Broadstripe added the channel to its systems in Michigan . On June 23 , 2009 , Cablevision added the channel in standard and high definition to its Optimum systems . The following month on August 25 , the network reached a carriage agreement with Atlantic Broadband , which added the network 's standard and high definition feed on September 1 , 2009 to its systems in central and northern Pennsylvania . On December 28 , 2009 , Charter Communications reached an agreement to provide the network to its systems in St. Louis and Southern Illinois on the provider 's expanded basic - digital tier . On July 24 , 2017 , the Big Ten Network announced they would be available on Hulu and YouTube TV 's online live TV services . Canadian carriage ( edit ) In September 2008 , the Canadian Radio - television and Telecommunications Commission approved a request by Shaw Communications to allow carriage of BTN in Canada on its specialty television services . While CTVglobemedia filed a concern it would illegally compete with its mainstream sports channel TSN , the CRTC determined the Big Ten Network would not harm TSN because it had a niche scope in its programming . The network became available to Shaw Cable customers on December 3 , 2008 . The channel became available on Rogers Cable systems in Ontario and New Brunswick on October 22 , 2009 .
