The Big Ten Network is showing more Big Ten football games and more Big Ten basketball games than any other network. We televised 41 football games in 2007 (38 in HD) and will televise 140 men's basketball games this winter, including 64 conference match-ups and three Big Ten Men's Basketball Tournament games. The Big Ten Conference also has long-term agreements with ABC, ESPN and ESPN2.

We are working hard to create and execute a broadband video strategy that will compliment the high-quality programming found on our Network. Several factors will play a role in determining the breadth and depth of our broadband streaming offering, including rights issues and negotiations with cable and satellite providers. Keep an eye on www.BigTenNetwork.com for the latest information.

In years past, the only Big Ten games that appeared on ESPN GamePlan or ESPN Full Court were the regional ABC football games and the football and basketball games aired on ESPN Regional and ESPN Plus. Those regional ABC football games will now air on ESPN/ESPN2 out of market. The ESPN Regional/ESPN Plus basketball games will now be carried by the Big Ten Network.

The notion that all Big Ten games were on free, over-the-air TV is incorrect. In 2005 and 2006, 13 Big Ten football games were not televised at all. During that same time, football games were moving from being regionally or locally syndicated so that they could be seen on over the air stations to other ESPN platforms that were not widely available, a total of 42 games.

Your phone calls, e-mails and petitions are clearly getting Comcast's attention. By now, you have undoubtedly seen or heard Comcast's plentiful and expensive anti-Big Ten Network advertising campaign. If you've called 1-800-COMCAST recently, you've heard the opening message, "if you're calling about the Big Ten Network, press 1." We encourage you to continue to tell Comcast that you want the Big Ten Network and that you don't want to pay extra for it.

A few years ago, Big Ten Conference executives met with ABC/ESPN executives to discuss extending the conference's football and basketball agreements that were expiring within a few years.

Through distribution agreements with DIRECTV, DISH Network, AT&T U-Verse, Insight Communications, WideOpenWest, RCN, Service Electric and more than 175 cable operators across the country, the Big Ten Network became the first new network in cable or satellite television history to reach 30 million subscribers within its first 30 days. However, we will not be satisfied until every potential subscriber in the Big Ten's eight-state region is receiving the network.

All fees and any other revenues from this venture will be shared equally among all 11 Big Ten institutions and the conference office. This increased financial support will help our schools to continue providing broad-based athletic programs, while enhancing the experience for all students on our campuses. For example, some schools are using the money to finance more scholarships, while others are building much-needed new facilities.

Today's radio stations have many formats (music, news/talk, combinations) from which to choose to program their broadcast day. Many hesitate to break from format to accommodate specialized sports programming. This is especially true when it comes to FM stations. Stations in Virginia also have a wide selection of collegiate and professional teams from which to select, so many factors are considered when a station is deciding on programming.

Cornerstones to the Community. The Big Ten Conference includes ten public institutions which act as cornerstones to their local communities and that are very important to the people who attended these schools or live nearby. We believe its important that these same local communities have complete access to these institutions and their programming. The network warrants widespread distribution.

All television distributors have been offered the Big Ten Network as an enhancement to their line-ups. DIRECTV and DISH Network offer the Big Ten Network as well. The network has significantly reduced the cost to cable operators to carry the network outside the Big Ten area. Even though the level of service cable/satellite providers may offer for the network may vary, we want to work with them so that fans who would like to order it may be able to.

The Big Ten Network will produce more original HD than any other network in history. We plan to produce more than 400 events and our nightly live studio show in HD, which will total more than 1,000 hours of original HD content in our first year alone. If you do not have a high-definition television, you will still be able to receive all of our programming in standard definition.

It changes as new repeaters come on line and, occasionally, one will leave the network. Basically, it covers most of North Carolina, a large part of Virginia and some of West Virginia and some of South Carolina . The expandable nature of the linking system we use allows it to be much larger if we have repeater owners in other areas who are interested in being a part of this network.

Many are trying to confuse the issue. It's true that cable operators pay the network a fee to receive our programming. But it's their decision as to whether they pass that cost on to consumers. More than 175 cable companies have added the Big Ten Network without a simultaneous price increase to their customers. And all are carrying the network on the expanded basic level of service.
