2021-22 broadcast info

[Impossible Is Nothing]

SIAP, but saw some uncertainty about this on another thread (re: the Princeton dual) so thought I'd post it here for reference.

BTN/BTN Plus

• BTN will have all home and Big Ten duals except Princeton, Oregon State, and Northwestern, which will be on BTN Plus.
• Based on past experience, Midlands will stream all sessions and all mats on BTN Plus. No official info yet.
• Sessions 1, 2, and 4 of the Big Ten Championships will be on BTN. Session 3 (Sunday consolations) will be on BTN Plus.

ESPN Plus

• My best guess is that the Iowa State dual will be available on ESPN Plus (https://www.espn.com/espnplus/). Can't find anything confirming this yet, but as far as I can tell, ESPN+ is now pretty much the only platform for Big 12 content not on national TV.

FloWrestling

• The Oklahoma State dual (Bout at the Ballpark) will be on Flo. Press release here: https://www.teamusa.org/USA-Wrestling/Features/2021/October/12/Bout-at-the-Ballpark-announcement

Rokfin

• National Duals will be streamed on the Collegiate Duals Rokfin channel: https://rokfin.com/CollegiateDuals. More info: https://rokfin.com/article/5356/National-Duals-Are-Back

Finally: no official announcement of broadcast info for NCAAs, but based on recent trajectory, expect mat-by-mat coverage for all sessions on ESPN3 with "produced" telecasts on ESPN/2/U.

Thank you - this is great

How stupid is it that you need to have a cable/streaming service plus 4 different subscriptions just to watch all of Iowa wrestling this year?

It's certainly ridiculous that paying for BTN+ doesn't give you access to what is on BTN already

 

[LIV4GOD]

FloWrestling says they will have an Iowa/Princeton "Watch Party."

What is that?

You watch them watch the meet, and they annoy the shit out of you - but you don't get to watch the meet

No thanks.

Not nearly as stupid as 10ish years ago and ever year prior where there was no ability at all (pay or otherwise) to watch every Iowa wrestling event. Or even worse, 30 years ago when it was free but you only got to see them about 4 times per year and even those were largely on tape delay instead of live.

No one is forcing you to watch them all. The majority of events are on live TV which is amazing. Throw in a cheap sub service (BTN+) that gives you access to other Iowa sports as well and you’ve got like 90% of the season covered. It’s pretty sweet actually.

This. $65 covers the entire season and you can watch most of the other BiG matches and 10‘s as well

Good point.

You must be poor.

Will Big10+ carry most of the meets?

 

[Grip220]

Will Big10+ carry most of the meets?

It does seem that way, but they do not announce early

 

[Aleric1]

Will Big10+ carry most of the meets?

It doesn’t carry the meets live that are broadcasted on BTN but there will be replays the next day if I remember correctly.

This. BTN+ does not give you access to live BTN.

In the past BTN stuff was available on BTN+ after 11 pm CST.
