Breakdown of Big Ten Network Channels available on Bright House Networks:

The Big Ten Network sometimes will air multiple football games at the same time, and will regionalize the games so that we can cater to each specific market. Fans will see the games they care most about. We offer the games we are not broadcasting in certain markets to our distribution partners to air on their ""overflow"" channels, so that fans who live outside their university's state can watch their teams. These overflow channels are only available during the football season.
