(mountain west network) comcast is a partial owner. the channel is on comcast's basic tier in most mwc areas. for those that live out of the area, it has not been on a satellite provider. at least big 10 fans anywhere in the country have been able to go with directv and get their games. mwc fans have not been so lucky. fortunately, there is a deal in place with directv to have the mtn airing at the end of august just in time for football season. but for 2 years, we were hearing rumors and articles and statements from everyone under the sun that " a deal was very close." we learned to take those with a grain of salt. hopefully comcast will pick up the btn for this season so i will get my two favorite teams on tv without going to satellite. (i like my cable internet deal)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Patrick]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 17th 2008 2:07PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Big Ten Network and Comcast nearing a deal]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/17/big-ten-network-and-comcast-nearing-a-deal/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/17/big-ten-network-and-comcast-nearing-a-deal/</guid><description><![CDATA[@ Mallory - Sounds like the pangs of a spartan fan who has lost to Michigan SIX YEARS IN A ROW. <br><br>Go Blue!<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Alex]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 17th 2008 2:19PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Big Ten Network and Comcast nearing a deal]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/17/big-ten-network-and-comcast-nearing-a-deal/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/17/big-ten-network-and-comcast-nearing-a-deal/</guid><description><![CDATA[Nope...just pointing out that a lot of games on BTN are second-tier matchups that ESPN passed on.
