Conference USA announced on Wednesday that five Western Kentucky football games have been added to the national television broadcast schedule, as a part of a league-wide television announcement across all broadcast partners.

Due to television, WKU’s regular-season finale at FIU has moved from Saturday, Nov. 25 to Friday, Nov. 24 – the Friday following Thanksgiving.

Three games, all home matchups, will air on Stadium, formerly American Sports Network, including Louisiana Tech (Sept. 16), Ball State (Sept. 23) and Florida Atlantic (Oct. 28). WKU’s final two road contests of the 2017 regular season, at Marshall (Nov. 11) and at FIU (Nov. 24) will air on beIN Sports.

Stadium is a new, fully programmed, 24/7 multi-platform sports network that brings together exclusive live game and event coverage, highlights, classic games, original programming and daily live studio programming. The network was formed when Campus Insiders, 120 Sports and The American Sports Network combined forces to take advantage of a combined collection of professional and collegiate rights and unique access to both digital and television distribution opportunities.

WKU appeared on beIN Sports last season when the Hilltoppers hosted FIU, while Stadium is a new venture. Two of WKU’s games, Old Dominion and Florida Atlantic, aired on ASN in 2016.

The five games join three other televised games including Tuesday’s announcement of Illinois on the Big Ten Network. CBS Sports Network will also air the Old Dominion (Oct. 20) and Middle Tennessee (Nov. 17) games.{&end}
