What are “overflow” channels?

0

“Overflow” or “alternate” channels are part-time channels that the Big Ten Network has access to on a cable or satellite system which allow the network to offer multiple football games simultaneously to viewers. Due to the nature of how the Big Ten schedules football games on Saturdays, the Big Ten Network often televises multiple games at once. In order to satisfy fans of all schools, the network has offered all of its affiliates the opportunity to make these “overflow” channels available to their subscribers. However, they are only available for Big Ten Network programming on football Saturdays.
