ST. LOUIS -- The Missouri Valley Conference will clear a 22-game men's basketball telecast package on FOX Sports Midwest and NBC Sports Chicago in 2018-19, Commissioner Doug Elgin announced today. Indiana State will make three appearances on the MVC TV Network this season.
The Valley, with Niles Media Group serving as its production company, has worked in conjunction with FOX Sports Midwest -- along with its sister regional outlets FOX Sports Indiana and FOX Sports Kansas City -- and NBC Sports Chicago to clear the telecasts. The Valley on ESPN -- the league's co-branded digital distribution platform with ESPN via the ESPN app -- will also distribute the productions outside the two networks' combined six-state regional footprint -- Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska.
