Charter: Company ‘Very Close’ To Deal With Big Ten Network

MADISON, Wis. — Charter Communications is actively negotiating with the Big Ten Network and an announcement about a possible deal to bring college games to local cable subscribers could come as soon as Tuesday afternoon, according to a spokesman with the cable provider.

“I cannot confirm that a deal has been done, but we are very close,” said Charter spokesman John Miller.

Miller said that Charter workers are preparing to make the games available should both sides reach an agreement, which might open the possibility to see Saturday’s football game between the University of Wisconsin Badgers and Akron.
