Oregon State, Washington State nearing TV deal for football games

Oregon State and Washington State are “putting the final touches on a television deal involving the broadcast of their 2024 home football games,” according to sportswriter John Canzano. The schools “bundled them together in a 13-game offering.” The CW Network is “believed to be the primary broadcast partner.” According to sources, the network was in “extended talks with the Pac-12 as recently as a week ago.” If The CW ends up as the Pac-12’s partner, the Pac-12 Network “would produce Oregon State and Washington State’s 13 home football games.” Officials at OSU and WSU “did not return messages seeking comment.” Canzano noted however, several sources said that the two schools “were focused on partnering with a linear provider.” OSU and WSU’s road football games against Mountain West Conference teams “will be broadcast on Fox and CBS as part of that league’s deal” (JOHNCANZANO.com, 3/26).
