Big Ten Network (BTN)

The basketball version of "The Journey" is still the best show on BTN, IMO. Not so much the football version, because there are too many players and not enough time.

The Charlie Scott feature was good. Surprised they got Roy Williams to appear on the show. Not surprised Jim Delany appeared to talk about his former teammate at UNC.

It may just work. I love American Pickers, but I rarely see sports-related items on the show, so I may be very inclined to watch this if they're finding very cool/interesting items. The only thing that may hurt it is that some of this kind of stuff won't necessarily be as old or have as cool of a "story" as a lot of the finds on Pickers, which is a big reason I watch the show (I'd love to go with them on a trip and just photograph the places they go and the stuff they find, since I find rusted out stuff and crumbling buildings attractive subjects).

Big Ten Network, Comcast agree

The Big Ten Network and Comcast have finalized an agreement for distribution in New Jersey and Maryland, as the Big Ten prepares to officially welcome new members Rutgers and Maryland on July 1.

Big Ten Network president Mark Silverman and Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany confirmed the Comcast deal to ESPN.com on Wednesday. BTN announced similar agreements with both Time Warner Cable and Cablevision in May, so the Comcast pact means the network will be available on the three major cable distributors servicing the New York and Washington, D.C., markets.

"It indicates that the Eastern initiative is moving forward in the direction we hoped it would," Delany said, "and that it means that Big Ten fans and college sports fans will be able to access 24/7 BTN on basic or digital basic carriage. Our goal was to achieve distribution in New York and D.C., Maryland and New Jersey.

"That's good news for the fans and good news for BTN and Rutgers and Maryland and all Big Ten fans in that region."
