Big Ten Network and Comcast nearing deal
Many cable subscribing Michigan State fans within the state of Michigan have been frustrated this sports season by the Big Ten Network not appearing on Comcast cable.
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that there may be good news soon for Comcast customers.
The Big Ten Network appears on its way to most homes in Michigan.
According to a source close to the negotiations, Comcast and the BTN have made significant progress toward a deal and only an unforeseen setback would prevent it from being on the cable system by football season.
Considering the animosity between the sides much of last fall and into the winter – Comcast ran negative ads, especially on radio, attacking BTN – a finalized deal would be significant.
