MADISON, Wis. -- Charter Cable subscribers should have Big 10 Network on their TVs by now, and that means fans will be able to see Saturday's University of Wisconsin football game.

A charter spokesman said crews worked around the clock to get it online, and it was scheduled to premiere by 5 p.m.

"When they had an agreement with Comcast -- basically the line is set, this is what the price is going to be, you're not going to get a better deal than Comcast and that's the deal you'll get -- I think it made it easier for everyone else," said UW Athletic Director Barry Alvarez.

The Big 10 Network on Charter Cable is on channel 73 or on high-definition channel 795; however, Saturday's game against Akron is not being produced in HD.

But the big question is, what does that mean for businesses who cashed in on the Big Ten Network-Charter stalemate?

Boston's in Middleton was one of the handful of places that carried those Big Ten Network-exclusive games.

Its sports bar saw a $2,000 increase in revenue when UW games were on the Big Ten Network, WISC-TV reported.

Still, business owners aren't worried about the possible drop in business.

"We're all Badger fans; we're going to watch the game regardless. We'll still be a great destination to watch the game. Are we going to feel a little bit of a hit? I think so, maybe a little," said Joe Burdick, Boston's owner.

"I don't think there will be a huge drop in it, but yeah, I bet there will be a little bit of people saying, 'Now I can watch it at home; that's awesome,'" said Casey Bauer, a Big Ten football fan.
