Charter now the lone holdout on Big Ten Network

And then there was one.

Just days after a testy public exchange and publicly expressed pessimism about the chances for a deal, the Big Ten Network and Time Warner Cable announced late Monday that they have reached a deal for BTN to be carried by Time Warner, the dominant cable provider in the Milwaukee and Fox Valley areas.

Coupled with a report â?? yet to be officially confirmed â?? by Multichannel.com last Friday that BTN and Iowa’s major cable company, Mediacom, reached a carriage agreement, Charter Communications now is the lone remaining major TV provider in the region without a BTN deal.

….But there still may be hope for Badger fans who are Charter subscribers, according to a statement e-mailed to The Capital Times Tuesday morning by Charter spokesman John Miller.
