What is the BIG 12 channel?

All of these ideas don't mesh well with DSM's motto.

Des Moines: Come back home to '96

 

[heitclone]

I believe Big 12 Network is the former ESPN+.

It's not, its been around since the big 8 days. It's the Philips 66 sponsored programming, doesn't have a home network or channel per se.

I always thought it was "Des Moines: cheaper than a delorean and without those Libyans"

The Big 12 Network doesn't have a channel. It is a syndicated network. Oh, and it sucks.

I'll be watching on my XBOX regardless

Not me, for whatever ******* reason the only places in the country that this game is blacked out on ESPN3 or watchespn is most of northern colorado, some of western Nebraska, some of Wyoming and New York City. I'd really like anexplanation on why such a random blackout is being put in place.

I'm watching Maryland-UNC on ESPN right now so that I can really cry about the picture I get on channel 5.

I thought the Big 12 Network was in HD now?

Mediacom through the apartment isn't.

I would try the antenna, but that never worked at our place. I'll stick to whining.

Should be in full screen high quality HD glory on WOI.

5-0 is all I get. No HD on that.

 

[Nycclone]

Well in NYC, it's on yes. And it wouldn't surprise me if it's on fox sports rocky mountain. It was when Colorado was in the league.

 

[HoopsTournament]

Have you ever had In N Out Burger? Vs. In N Out burger, what is better?

5 Guys is ten times better than in n out.

Why is ESPN 3 broadcast not in HD when game is in HD?

Actually, it is. ESPN+ (ESPN Regional) produces the games, which are now branded as Big 12 Network.

Big Eight/Raycom
Big 12/Creative Sports
Big 12/ESPN+
"Big 12 Network"

By the beard of Zeus!!!!! This game is on ABC!!!!! 5.1 or 5.0 in central Iowa on Mediacom!!!! Sorry if this was already posted!!!!!

5 Guys is ten times better than in n out.

5 Guys is just so expensive for what you get. Maybe I'm spoiled since the town I live in has a killer local burger place that costs half as much, but I think 5 Guys is overrated.

 

[CysRage]

I personally think 5 Guys is overrated too. Very expensive for what you get. I haven't had In N Out since the Insight bowl but I remember it being one of my favorite restaurants out west. Jack in the Box, not so much.

 

[dafarmer]

Finally found the game on omaha 15. Why would any exec. on ESPN put the PSU vs.UN game on Tv. His *** should have been out the door.

Men’s Basketball Television FAQ - Big 12 Conference - Official Athletic Site


Fans within the Big 12 states have also grown accustomed to watching games syndicated on ESPN Plus (a.k.a. ESPN Regional). Starting with the 2008-09 season the games were re-branded as the Big 12 Network. The Big 12 Network will carry 32 games each season, but the network could take up to 12 games out of this inventory for placement on ESPN or ESPN2 or ESPNU (only if ESPNU is carried in at least 40 million homes). These games are cleared on a market-by-market basis to (primarily) local over-the-air television stations, local cable access channels or a local sports network. These stations are not required to carry the entire syndicated package but take the majority of Saturday afternoon games and some of the prime time syndicated telecasts.

The quick breakdown is:	ESPN, ESPN2, ABC, CBS	43 games
	ESPNU, ESPN3	20 games
	Big 12 Network	32 games

I hate what ESPN is doing to college sports.
