A dispute between a newly launched sports network and major cable providers has kept one-third of University of Wisconsin football games off cable TV.
The impasse will take an even bigger toll on Badgers basketball fans.
Fewer than half of the Wisconsin men’s basketball games will air on cable TV this basketball season, which kicks off Sunday.
Of the 30 regular season games, at least 18 will be shown exclusively on the Big Ten Network â?? but Time Warner Cable and Charter Communications, the two major cable companies in Wisconsin, do not carry the channel.
