ARLINGTON, Texas – The Western Athletic Conference (WAC) has announced that five additional linear television broadcasts will be carried on regional sports network (RSN) affiliates during the second half of the 2023-24 conference basketball schedule.
 
Four men’s basketball games and one women’s basketball game have been added to the RSN schedule for linear broadcast within regional media markets. On the men’s side, California Baptist at Stephen F. Austin on Jan. 27 at 2 p.m. (CT), Tarleton State at Abilene Christian on Feb. 1 at 7 p.m. (CT), Southern Utah at Utah Tech on Feb. 8 at 7 p.m. MT and UT Arlington at UTRGV on Feb. 17 at 6:30 p.m. CT will each be carried on linear RSN affiliates. A key WAC women’s showdown pitting Grand Canyon at defending conference tournament champion Southern Utah on Feb. 10 at 2 p.m. MT has also received RSN linear broadcast clearance.
 
“As we continue to strengthen the profile of our league, creating increased exposure opportunities is one of our major strategic objectives,” WAC Commissioner Brian Thornton said. “The ever-changing media landscape provides us with multiple mediums including linear, regional and streaming to showcase our institutions nationally during the stretch run of the conference season on the road to WACVegas.”
 
The additional RSN broadcasts bolster what has been a robust linear television schedule highlighting WAC basketball teams during the 2023-24 season. The WAC linear slate included two nonconference games and two upcoming conference matchups on ESPNU, two nonconference contests on CBS Sports Network and nine games that were carried on linear affiliates of peer conference television networks during the regular season.
