The network that brought the Red Wedding and Tony Soprano will soon include the Air Force blue and coach Troy Calhoun.
The Mountain West and TNT Sports announced a multiyear agreement on Monday that will bring games to truTV and Max (formerly known as HBO Go in many regions).
This is in addition to the Colorado Springs-based conference’s current agreement with the CBS and Fox family of networks.
Air Force will have one of the 14 games broadcast as part of the deal with TNT Sports in the 2024 season, a 5 p.m. kickoff at New Mexico on Oct. 12. The Falcons’ other games were previously selected by other networks.
The agreement will bring college football to TNT Sports (of which truTV is a part) for the first time since 2006.
TNT Sports and Max are subsidiaries of Warner Bros. Entertainment.
“We are excited to partner with the Mountain West and bring these compelling college football games to truTV and Max,” said Raphael Poplock, senior vice president of acquisitions, business development and partnerships, TNT Sports in a press release. “With this agreement, we will further expand our live sports programming on truTV while creating additional exposure for the Mountain West and its student-athletes across our TNT Sports platforms.”
For Max, this will add college football to a sports lineup that includes MLB, NBA, NHL, the NCAA basketball tournament, soccer and others.
“TNT Sports provides the Mountain West with a third national television partner to showcase the outstanding student-athletes across the league,” MW Commissioner Gloria Nevarez said. “TNT Sports has always been a leader in sports broadcasting, and adding one of the top conferences in the FBS to its lineup will certainly be a benefit to MW and college football fans across the country.”
Financial terms of the agreement were not provided.
