It's about time Ohio State fans caught a break
Ohio State football fans can breathe easier now. Time Warner Cable and the Big Ten Network finally came to an agreement late Monday night after more than a year of haggling. Now those in TWC markets can watch the Buckeyes dominate a matchup ABC or ESPN wanted no part of televising. Ohio State’s opener against Youngstown State is just such a game. The Buckeyes’ Sept. 20 game against Troy is another. TWC and the Big Ten Network issued a joint statement early Tuesday announcing that both of those Ohio State games, and a third to be announced later, will be available on Channel 77 in standard definition on the cable provider’s expanded basic level of service. They will be simulcast on TWC’s digital tier on position 333. ‘‘Time Warner Cable customers will now be able to watch the Big Ten Network, including this Saturday’s season opener for the Ohio State Buckeyes,’’ TWC Northeast Ohio Division President Steve Fry said in a statement.
