Conference USA television lineup

Conference USA has announced its updated television schedule for the 2007 football season. The schedule features more than 50 games to be nationally or regionally, a new league record. National games will be-televised on CSTV, ESPN, ESPN 2, Fox Sports Net and the NFL Network. Included are a number of unopposed windows that provide tremendous exposure to C-USA, as well as several exciting league match-ups, and many challenging non-conference contests.

This season marks the third year of C-USA's partnership with CSTV: College Sports Television. CSTV and Conference USA signed a six-year initial term in 2005 that includes significant national and regional exposure for football, men's and women's basketball and other C-USA sports. CSTV, the fastest growing independent cable network, has agreements with distributors that serve more than 65 million households nationwide. It deals with the top six distributors - Comcast, DirecTV, Time Warner, Charter, Cox and Adelphia, among others.

Conference USA will also be featured on ESPN and its family of networks, having at least 19 regular season contests televised this fall, including 10 games as part of its contract with the network and additional non-conference games that have been selected by the network through agreements with other conferences. The third annual Conference USA Championship Game will be televised by ESPN or ESPN 2 on Saturday, December 1.

"We are very pleased to have so many of our football games on television and distributed to our fans throughout the nation," said Conference USA Commissioner Britton Banowsky. "We are looking forward to a great conference race this fall and we're glad that people around the country will be able to watch so many of our games."
