BOISE, Idaho — Boise State Athletics and KTVB Channel 7 on Wednesday announced a partnership to broadcast 10 men’s basketball home games this season, starting with the Broncos’ season opener against Vanguard.
Through the agreement, select games will air on Idaho’s Very Own 24/7 in the Boise and Twin Falls markets, in addition to KTVB’s digital platforms – KTVB.COM, KTVB+ on Roku and Amazon Fire TV, and the KTVB mobile app.
At least one game inside ExtraMile Arena will air on KTVB 7.1 in Boise and KTFT 7.1 in Twin Falls. All 10 Boise State home games are still set to stream on the Mountain West Network. The contests tip-off at 7 p.m. on weeknights, and 2 p.m. on weekends.
‘We’re excited to partner with a trusted sponsor to enhance the reach of our men’s basketball program,” Boise State Director of Athletics Jeramiah Dickey said. “This is a great opportunity to tell our story to a wider audience and invite more people to the front porch of the state.”
Idaho’s Very Own 24/7 is available FREE over the air on channel 7.2 or 7-2 depending on your TV brand. It is also available on Sparklight Cable on channel 13 and Cox Cable on channel 128. For more information, CLICK HERE.
“As fans, we’re looking forward to an action packed basketball season and we’re thrilled to partner with Boise State Athletics to broadcast and stream ten men’s basketball home games!,” KTVB President and General Manager Jessica Hagan said. “This arrangement will allow fans to enjoy the energy and excitement of the Broncos for free on Idaho’s Very Own 24/7 and KTVB+”

The agreement marks the first time KTVB – an official sponsor of Boise State Athletics – will carry a Bronco men’s basketball game since Nov. 25, 2014, when the blue and orange battled Idaho in downtown Boise at the former CenturyLink Arena.
Boise State begins its journey toward a third-straight trip to the NCAA Tournament on Nov. 7. Earlier this month, the Broncos were picked to finish second in the Mountain West preseason poll. Head coach Leon Rice and company are on the national radar following back-to-back seasons with more than 20 wins.
Junior forward Tyson Degenhart landed on the preseason Mountain West all-conference team after averaging 14.1 points and 5.3 assists per game a year ago. High-profile transfers like Roddie Anderson III, O’Mar Stanley and Cam Martin are expected to make an immediate impact.
Single-game tickets for the Broncos’ non-conference schedule are on sale now. To purchase tickets, call the Boise State Athletic Ticket Office at (208) 426-4737 or CLICK HERE.
