How to Watch Indiana's Game With Ohio State on Saturday
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Indiana and Ohio State are getting the full national television treatment on Saturday.
The Big Ten East showdown between unbeatens is the game of the day in the league and FOX, which gets first choice of games, chose it for its Noon ET slot. It's Indiana's first game this season on Fox's primary channel. FOX's pregame show, "Big Noon Kickoff,'' will also be based in Columbus for its telecast.
Here are the FOX affiliates that serve various major metropolitan areas in and around Indiana (Your cable/online channels may be different):

Indiana has played two games on FOX Sports 1, one on the Big Ten Network and one on ABC. The Hoosiers (4-0) are ranked No. 9 in the country, its highest ranking since 1967. Ohio State (3-0) is ranked No. 3 in the country.
If you are a satellite TV purveyor, here are your channel designations, for instance, for the FOX channel in Indianapolis:
- DirecTV: Channel 59
- Dish Network: Channel 59
- AT&T U-Verse: Channel 11
- Comcast/XFinity: Channel 11/Channel 1059 HD
Because televised games bounce around through various networks every week, I always suggest finding the game early on your channel guide and set your DVR so you don't miss anything. There are so many cable systems around the state and Midwest that it's hard to list them all. But find it early, so that Noon kickoff doesn't catch up on you too quickly.
