Every Boise State football game will air on TV again this season.
KTVB announced Monday that it has reached a one-year agreement with Boise State to air the seven 2009 football games not slated for national TV. Mark Johnson (play-by-play) and Tom Scott (color commentary) will call the action, as they did last year.
The agreement, which was confirmed by Boise State, will expire next summer along with most of the Broncos’ media and sponsorship deals. Learfield Sports takes over those rights July 1, 2010.
KTVB’s schedule will include the games against Miami, Ohio (Sept. 12), Bowling Green (Sept. 26), UC Davis (Oct. 3), Hawaii (Oct. 24), San Jose State (Oct. 31), Idaho (Nov. 14) and New Mexico State (Dec. 5).
For the Hawaii game, KTVB might pick up the Hawaii broadcast.
The new agreement calls for fewer men’s basketball broadcasts — and none for home games. KTVB will place three or four road games on its 24/7 channel.

Boise State finished a school-best 49th in the annual Director's Cup Standings, which rank Division I schools based on the success of their teams. The Broncos' best previous finish was 63rd in 2002-03.
Eight of Boise State's 19 sports scored points, led by wrestling, men's tennis and football.
Stanford was the national champion for the 15th straight year.

Mark Johnson?
Why is he still announcing the games? Shouldn't he be selling used cars or reporting on West Nile? This is the only reason I have my TV on mute! I think Ysabell Bilboa could give us better coverage of the game!
There are other motives in your preference, son...
It's a secret even Victoria can't keep.

He must have gave you a great deal on your 89 Honda you just bought!
P.S. Get some new material (It's a secret even Victoria can't keep?) I almost fell on the floor laughing and holding my side...NOT!
Oh, be quiet! I own four AMERICAN MADE BIKES built '52-95.

Cure for poor tv announcers
long ago started turning off sound on the tv, turning up radio, but I have to admit I don't even know who is doing the radio play-by-play anymore. Whoever it is, he is likely preferable to Johnson.
I'm sure the game will get BURIED in the ESPN stuff I don't see.

It's our team, let those of us who've no $ to be there SEE THEM.
This is the reason I don't care for all you 'sports parents' who want BSU to be Manchester United.
Besides that, Man U seems to have taken a fall of late.
Your politics are no doubt similar and that sucks also. We DO like it when our team wins!
What on Earth leads you to believe this is "our team"? It has football players, all right and good ones but it's a freak show, not a college football program.
Still, both Luther Ingram and Barbara Mandrell summed it best with the tune, "If Loving You Is Wrong (I Don't Wanna Be Right)."
Then again the Oak Ridge Boys said trying to love two women is like a ball and chain and Maureen McGovern lamented about being torn between two lovers and feeling like a fool.
This Fiesta Bowl was neat-o but it was like drugs to some of you. Even the Cubs fans have given up on this and just watch the games.
If you don't like the sound, fine. I suppose you can tell what's happening without it anyhow, being the football experts you are who speak other sports as a second language only.

How the non-mighty have fallen.....
I'm sorry to see how far foreignmoronoregonian's intellect has slipped........
Let's help extend the vacation you've enjoyed, whomever you aint

There is no life in Idaho...it is a mirror site on god's server. You were dreaming but it is over. Go to your residence and await our commands and THEN we will restore control...
Foreignoregonian Part 2
You own 4 American Made Bikes? This must be Larry Gebert then! Because I saw you riding a Victory Motorcycle today down State Street! Now it makes sense, your defedning your Newscast!
Larry was from WEISER. He's about ten years older and shut up
I don't have a motor vehicle. Ask bikeboy.

You know, there WAS a reason I named myself as I did...
But it's apparently never sunk in with some of you.
No wonder we have so much stress in this Valley.

ForeignOregonian Part 3
Football is my second language. So when I see and hear a guy that does not know what he is talking about and can't say any of the players names I SEE a BIG problem with that! Certainly they can find somebody better then the local news man to report the games!
So if you want to keep throwing around witty sayings and gestures that are not proving anything other than your mere recomendations please go to sportsboards or some other web site.
Supporting Everything No where Everywhere and Very Well
Thank You For Bickering
HE WAS THE SPORTS ANCHOR FOR MANY YEARS.
After LARRY MANEELY.
What tumbleweed did you blow in on?
If you've only been here maybe as long as you've been in college, use the INTERNET.
Put down the beer bong and learn to use a SEARCH ENGINE.
It's not all that hard. Stop embarrassing yourself and the Valley locals who were born and raised here for decades and actually know what info you butcher.
If you want to be the sports king, you can't be the king of pain or especially King Nothing.

If I Was Born In 1968
I would know this! But I wasn't you old bag of bones!
We need a different Sports Broadcaster! End of Story!
I wasn't. I was two. I don't care. I don't hire folks at KTVB.
Nor do I work there, nor am I the suggestion box. Try calling them.
And don't walk on me. Nobody does.

Broncos deserve better
A first rate college football team... second rate amatuer TV station. Hopefully ESPN will take a good amount of the games.
Not likely
The weak WAC hardly deserves any air time on ESPN. As far as the Broncos go I think the odds of them wining this pathetic conference is 75 - 80%. Second rate football team with horrible amatuer anaouncers.

King of Pain? Bring It On Old Man! I'm not going to change your diaper when you realize what a mistake you made!
The only person getting embarrased is you because you know more about the Ice Age then you do about lousy sports anchors in todays world!
Why don't you and LARRY MANEELY
Go have a drink at McClearys and talk about old times..Like when Dinosaurs roamed the earth!!! Hahaha!
Take Mark Johnson with you too, that way you guys can talk sports!
You know, I feel like flagging your keyster into the Stone Age.
But since I've lived in this Valley all but about 2 years of my life and was actually interviewed for NewsBEAT 7 in 1975 concerning the brutal stabbing death of a classmate (Steven White), and since the eventual discovery of the killer (well, years later) led to the next door neighbor kid...
I'd say the 21 in your tag refers to some college kid who is being an ---hat anyway.
Act like a human being again and take a hike while you do that. You're not really worthless.

Not again
Well, first, good to know that the games will be televised. Bad news is that the KTVB crew will again be doing the play calling. Can there be any two worse in sports broadcasting than them??? Sure hope that the games show on KSKN in Spokane, as that is where our TV locals come out of.
-You just cannot get rid of
-You just cannot get rid of this old shoe, even tho it dosn't fit. and they ran this story yesteday,must be earthshaking news to be ecessary to take time and paper to keep reportig the same thing, worse than CNN and Micheal Jackson. Makes the national enquirer look good.D.
Chad - Who’s your daddy?
You deleted my comment a couple months ago and it in no way compares to the ridiculous bantering that your little buddy foreignoregonian does daily. Many of us are interested in the TV rites for Broncos not this idiots attack on sports_king, me, or the next door neighbor. Why are you letting this blow hard continue to run his mouth. Enough Chad grow some ..... and do something about this guy (or is there some special reason he gets to have all the foreplay?)
Another shut up shout out and happy christmas to you too.
Obviously can't stand this little bit of nothing, for all of your whining.
You grew a pair but they are dangling from the hitch.
Now get back in there and win it for the Gipper.

None of you have addressed
None of you have addressed the real pain of watching KTVB do a game---Tom Scott!! Good grief, I am so happy I have radio so I don't have to listen to that. But then don't go south of Overland Rd. or you won't get the radio broadcast either. Who set this up anyway? Paul J. maybe needed to be replaced but KIDO? you have to be kidding me.
Tom Scott was always fine playing records on KFXD...
And he sells a lot of cars. And he is the King of Stats.
Why don't you just move to Murray, Utah?

Thank you for hollering.
why Murray? why not Park
why Murray? why not Park City or St. George? What's the big deal with Murray?
Kaysville never came to mind and it did.
