OSU, WSU putting 'final touches' on football TV deal with The CW and Fox

Oregon State and Washington State are “putting the final touches on the television deal for their 13 combined home football games next season," with The CW as the “primary TV partner,” according to sportswriter John Canzano. The CW will "own the rights to 10 of the 13 football games," while Fox “wanted” the remaining three games. The 10 games carried by The CW will be “slotted immediately following the network’s existing ACC football programming.” The Pac-12 Network “will take on production” of the OSU and WSU football games as The CW “isn’t equipped with an in-house sports production.” OSU and WSU’s eight combined road games against Mountain West opponents “will be carried by the MWC’s media partners” -- Fox and CBS (JOHNCANZANO.com, 5/3).
