NCAA Broadcast Information
The NCAA broadcasting involvement includes network television broadcasts, cable television, radio, satellite radio and Internet presentations of every NCAA championship. The Association oversees the broadcasts of all 88 NCAA championships. CBS owns the domestic broadcast rights to 66 championships while ESPN has the rights to 22 championships. All regular-season games, conference tournaments and football bowl game broadcast rights are owned by the NCAA member colleges, universities and individual conferences. The NCAA retains exclusive copyright to all video of NCAA championships. CBS, CBS College Sports Network and ESPN (including ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNEWS, ESPN Classic, ESPNU and ESPN360.com) deliver the excitement of every NCAA championship via television and the Internet. In addition, NCAA Productions televises and syndicates to selected regional sports networks (e.g. Fox Sports Net and Comcast Sports Net regional networks) several of the remaining championships. Twenty five of the 88 NCAA championships receive some sort of live television coverage. All remaining championships receive coverage on a tape delay or highlight show basis (e.g. CBS Sports Presents Championship of the NCAA, NCAA On Campus and the NCAA Year-In-Review shows).
