I'd say if you are getting the alternate channel right now and its doing the pregame show for OSU, you will see OSU. Can you look at the guide for noon?

The link on BTN's site is down that allows you to find the channel. Once its back up, enter your zip and select TWC.

Yeah. My friends and I listened to the game on the radio. There's a strong possibility that our pre-gaming scrambled our brains, but, well, initial listings said the game was on the BTN and then, today, my friends' Dish Network guide said the UM game would be on that channel. Maybe we didn't exhaust all possibilities, but the people scanning the dish spent a lot of time doing that...although we were all too buzzed to really use rational deductive thought at the time.

My question is simple: Why didn't the BTN utilize regional coverage, where you'd get the game on their network that's in your market? No non-OSU fan would want to see them play OU and the only reason any non-UM fan would want to see them play UMass would be to see that potential Appy State v2.

Since I wasn't home, a second question: What happened if you had Time Warner? In central Ohio, channel 24 is used as an alternate channel for various programming (like say, the Blue Jackets and Cavs played on the two Fox Sports Ohio feeds...one would be on 33 and one on 24), so was the OSU game there, on 56 (Big 10 Network) or nowhere?
