No Deal In Place For Big Ten Network Through Charter Cable

MADISON, Wis. — Madison cable customers might not get access to the new Big Ten Network.

It is set to debut in about three weeks, but so far there is no deal in place for Charter Cable.

University of Wisconsin-Madison officials said they are confident that a deal will happen eventually.

“We’d like it all to be settled in advance of the network launch on Aug. 30,” said Vince Sweeney, associate athletic director at UW-Madison. “If it’s not settled and deals aren’t done with Charter by that time, we’re hopeful it would happen shortly thereafter.”
