Time Warner Cable and the Big Ten Network announced Monday night that they have reached an agreement-in-principle on terms of carriage for the Big Ten Network and its high-definition and video-on-demand programming on Time Warner Cable's line-ups throughout the Big Ten territory, including Ohio and Wisconsin. The deal places the Big Ten Network on the expanded basic tier. The structure of the agreement is significant in that other carriers have been placing the Big Ten Network on their digital sports tiers, as opposed to the expanded basic level.

Financial terms of the agreement were not released.

The pending agreement will ensure that Time Warner Cable's customers across these Big Ten states will have access to this Saturday's Big Ten college football season openers and all future Big Ten Network programming on an expanded basic level of service.
