Columbus- Time Warner Cable customers can watch Ohio State’s season opener against Youngstown State on Saturday. Apparently, name-calling is part of negotiating in the cable world.
Three days after a public exchange between the companies that ended with the Big Ten Network calling a Time Warner proposal a “publicity stunt,” the sides reached an agreement Monday night to distribute the Big Ten Network on expanded basic cable in the eight Big Ten states. That includes nearly 1 million subscribers in Northeast Ohio. The deal came five days short of the network’s one-year anniversary and includes high-definition and video-on-demand programming.
