WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - The 2005-06 Pacific-10 Conference basketball television package features 66 men's contests telecast to national and regional audiences, Commissioner Tom Hansen announced today.
The Pac-10 men's basketball package includes 44 games nationally or regionally on FSN, six nationally or regionally on CBS (including the Pac-10 Tournament championship game), and three regionally on ABC. In addition, Pac-10 teams will make at least 11 appearances on ESPN, ESPN2, or ESPNU, and two appearances on CSTV.
"It's an attractive television package that affords the Pac-10's fans many opportunities to see their favorite teams in action, " said Hansen. We credit our institutions for their aggressive scheduling which allowed for FSN, our long-time television partner, to add some marque non-conference matchups to its inventory of telecasts."
Additional regional and local men's telecasts will be arranged and announced by the institutions. Many of these telecasts arranged by the institutions will be aired on one of several FSN regionals and other regional sports networks in the Pac-10 market (FSN Northwest, FSN Bay Area, Comcast SportsNet, Oregon Sports Network, Beavers Sports Network, FSN West, FSN West 2 and FSN Arizona).
The Pac-10's television exposure tips off for the men on Tuesday, November 15, when UCLA hosts New Mexico State in the first round of the Preseason NIT on ESPN2. The first FSN telecast of the season will feature Virginia at Arizona on Sunday, November 27.
