After being concerned that I would not be able to see Big Ten football games on ESPN Gameplan this year due to the startup of the new Big Ten Network, I contacted Dish to request they carry the new sports network. I received a totally unexpected response. Here it is, with my original request/question.
Question: I would like to request that you carry the Big Ten Network in one of your programming packages. I will change to DirecTV to obtain this programming.
Answer:
Thank you for your email. You may be able to view Big Ten on channel 435. For further assistance, please call our Customer Service Center at 1-800-333-3474. We are open 24 hours a day and 7 days a week for your convenience.
I'm not sure what to think of the response, but there may be some hope that Dish will add the channel before football season.
