If you've been wondering where BTN is on Dish Network today, it's gone.
Negotiations for a new agreement with Dish fell through last night, leaving Big Ten football fans without a way to watch their favorite games.
Previously, Dish and BTN had agreed to an interim arrangement whereby Dish customers would continue to receive BTN while the two sides hashed out the details of a long-term contract. Unfortuntely, it seems those negotiations failed.
"As of September 14th, BTN's distribution agreement with Dish expired despite our best efforts to finalize an agreement," said Elizabeth Conlisk, BTN's vice president for communications and university relations. "We are disappointed that Dish does not see the value in the network in the same way that so many of their customers do, including Big Ten students, alumni, fans and viewers across the country who continue to pay Dish for a channel they no longer receive."
Dish Network had no comment.
