Huskies and Ducks fans who subscribe to Comcast might not be able to see their team’s openers on Saturday due to a carriage dispute with the Big Ten Network.
FILE - Oregon’s Autzen Stadium is viewed during the first quarter of an NCAA college football game against Washington, Nov. 6, 2010, in Eugene, Ore. Fans of Washington, Oregon, Southern California and UCLA thought their viewing headaches would end with the move from the Pac-12 to the Big Ten.Huskies and Ducks fans who subscribe to Comcast might not be able to see their team’s openers on Saturday due to a carriage dispute with the Big Ten Network.
Comcast owns NBC, which has the conference’s Saturday Night package. However, Fox owns the majority of BTN. “I think it helped a lot. I really do because here’s a trust factor that goes with being on television with someone on shows like this, and some of that was already established,” Davis said. “I do think that the novelty excitement of these new matchups has some staying power,” he said. “It will take a while for all those fan bases to either travel west or host one of these teams in their stadium, which I think provides a bit of runway for that novelty.”
