ZachTheZip Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Just found out that the Wisconsin game should be on channel 334 for Time Warner customers this Saturday. Unfortunately it won't be in HD, since they are more focused on just getting the feed up and running than providing "extra" services like HD or video on demand, although those will come eventually.Just remember to watch it on mute with the radio on because the announcers are going to be obvious Big 10 homers.

GoZips88 Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Can anyone tell me whether 1350AM's signal reaches the North Canton area? My son has a cross-country meet that starts at 11AM and doesn't wrap up until 2:30 or so. Radio will be my only option until I can get home to watch the game via DVR.

At times the signal gets weak (I've heard 1350 drops the wattage, at times, for some reason or another), but I've been listening out of Canton for years. Let's hope on Saturday we hear a few 'Touchdown Akron!!!!' yells from French and no dejected 'Holy Cow' how could that of happened comments.

Zipsrifle Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Not this weekend, but maybe next weekend. Regardless, I will be stopping there next time in Akron to support establishments that support UA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowdyZip Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Dear Zipsnation,Everyone available, please show up at Ohio Brewing Company. If you're having a group of friends go to another bar, change locations. It's VERY important that us loyal fans support these establishments that sponsor the Zips. If they're going out on a limb for us, we need to overrun their bar with Zip fans. Make those Suckeye fans go elsewhere. Show up! BRING YOUR FRIENDS! WEAR BLUE AND GOLD!!!!!GO ZIPS!!!RowdyZip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosAngelesZipFan Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Is the local TW coverage in addition to the Big Ten Network? Also, does anyone know if the game will be streamed online anywhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear it seems to reach into the North Canton/Canton area. As you say, I hope there is something GOOD to listen to! Go Zips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoZips88 Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 It's about 8:30AM here on Saturday and BTN channel 334 STILL does not show up in my Time Warner channel listing!?!?! I rebooted the cable box but that didn't help. Any ideas out there ZN? I'm outta here at 10:15 for the day and would like to DVR the game while I'm gone. Sorry Time Warner but I can't WAIT for the day when I have another choice other than you and the satellites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confused because I don't even have channel 334 listed on my on-screen channel listing. I scroll down and it jumps directly from channel 330 - the "Outdoor Network" to channel 350 - another CNN.

Blue & Gold Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 I just called TWC's customer service line and got a recorded message. The message was pretty clear though, and said that the Big Ten Network is not going to be "launched" today until 12:00 noon. It won't show up on, or be recognized by, your digital cable box until then. The BTN will be on channel 77. The recording also said that the BTN would be on channel 333 with the BTN "alternate feed" going to channel 334. So I'm guessing/hoping that at 12:00 noon, just as I'm about ready to have a stroke, channel 334 will become available with the Zips - Wisky game. Unfortunately, if you're unable to be physically present w/ your DVR at 12:00 noon, I'll bet you won't be able to program it to record the game.

ZachTheZip Posted August 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 106.9 should definitely come in down in Canton. Isn't that the radio station for the Zips now?Yeah. It's based somewhere near Canton, but it covers everywhere south of I-480 as a general rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted August 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Yeah. It's based somewhere near Canton, but it covers everywhere south of I-480 as a general rule.Thanks, and it sounds like that might be the way I'm going to have to go. Down here in Massillon the BTN is showing Columbus State/Youngstown State instead of Akron/WI There should be two BTN channels. The main one in Akron is showing the Pengiuns game, while the alternate feed will be showing the ZIPS.I would check to see if you get both channels.

I wish I could but I've got some work to do while I'm watching the game this afternoon. I wish I could still just drop $25-$30 in there just to support the Ohio Brewing Company for having a Zips' watch party! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleacher Bum Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Just spent 25 minutes on the phone with a guy from Time Warner only to hear "It's not being broadcast in your area." Luckily OSU is on 17 channels. Assholes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
