BTN Orange Bowl

[Sirhouseman]

They've been advertising replaying all the big bowl wins all week including the Orange, but it's not on their programming schedule. I'm watching the Rose Bowl now, and luckily I can watch it two more times today. Awesome.

I noticed that too. I'm guessing they cant show the Orange Bowl because it was on Fox, not ABC/ESPN.

I also noticed that but I can watch my DVD anytime I want.

That wouldnt be an issue Fox/News Corp is 50% owners of the BTN

 

[HawkAttack]

I'm confused too.
I'm thinking maybe they will show it on Sunday and just have sloppy editors proofreading the promos so it sounds like it will be on Saturday.

49%...very big difference

LOL True, I gotta get my stats correct next time.

I checked the schedule and it's not being soon this weekend. I pulled out my tape this afternoon and watched it again.

Why advertise that you're going to show it and then you don't? How many other networks do that?


P.S. The cardinals bullpen is going to keep them out of the playoffs.

I happened to be watching some of the Bowl Replays yesterday and was thinking the exact same thing. I went through the entire weeks worth of programming and didn't see it on once. I was ****** they were advertising for it, but not actually showing it. Big mess-up on their part.

 

[tmurph2643]

I thought that the btn had showed it not that long ago... I very easily could be wrong..

Edit: Big Ten Network to Replay Orange Bowl - IOWA OFFICIAL ATHLETIC SITE

Apparently the big ten network showed the game the following Sunday after the OB. So why wouldn't they be showing it now?

 

[PlanoHawk]

i saw this as well- was hoping that they just made a listing mistake but that wasn't the case either. interesting that they put the effort into advertising it but not actually have it in their programming line up.

where's all the people who were mad about the web tagging issue with the so miss logo hat accidentally placed in the iowa merchandise... this warrants action WAY more than that stupid merchandise mistake.

If you really want it, you can download the HD (720p) version from tenyardtorrents.com.

I think it's for sale on iTunes too...

I emailed the BTN and this was there response:

Thanks for the email. The Big Ten Network recently aired four of the seven Big Ten bowl games from last year. Unfortunately, the BCS owns the inherent television rights to the 2010 Orange Bowl, and thereby we were unable to include Iowa’s win over Georgia Tech on Saturday’s schedule. We apologize if the advertisement was misleading and for any inconvenience this may have caused. We hope to air the remaining three bowl games in the near future. Please refer to our online programming schedule for future dates and times.

Thanks again for taking the time to write.

Sincerely,

Brittany
The Big Ten Network

Seems to me the BCS would own the same rights with the Rose Bowl and yet they are showing that game?

My guess is that Big Ten (and thus, BTN) has TV contract with ABC/ESPN. So..I would further guess that said contract includes re-broadcast rights. Hence, we haven't seen the game vs. ISU (also on Fox/affiliates) re-broadcast, either.
