The men’s basketball team will get more television exposure than it ever has this year, as GW added 11 regional telecasts to its regular schedule Tuesday.

They will have a total of 22 televised games this season, the most airtime in program history.

The variety of television exposure ranges from regional telecasts through networks like Comcast Sportsnet Mid-Atlantic, NESN, Fox Sports Midwest and CSN Philadelphia thanks to the Atlantic 10’s new multimedia rights agreement that includes telecasts for half of the GW’s conference matches

The regional exposure combines with national exposure both from telecasts on NBC Sports Network, as well as the Colonials’ games in the Wooden Legacy tournament in November, which is scheduled to air on the ESPN networks.

Additionally, Mid-Atlantic Sports Network will televise the annual BB&T Classic on Dec. 8 when GW will square off against Maryland, as well as an anticipated rematch against Kansas State on Dec. 31.
