User:Arbogast54/Rose Bowl announcer history

The following is a list of the television networks and announcers who have broadcast college football's Rose Bowl throughout the years.

Television
The Rose Bowl Game has been a part of college football on television since January 1, 1948. The 1948 Rose Bowl was telecast in Los Angeles on KTLA. The 1952 Rose Bowl, on NBC, was the first national telecast of a college football game. The network broadcast both the Tournament of Roses Parade and the following game. Television network, play-by-play and color commentator(s) for the Rose Bowl from 1952 to the present.

After the 2009-10 season, ESPN had the contract to broadcast the BCS games, including the Rose Bowl game. When the BCS was replaced by the College Football Playoff (CFP) in 2014, with the Rose Bowl Game as one of its six associated bowls, ESPN signed a new contract to broadcast all CFP games through the 2025 season.

Radio--This is a list of radio broadcasters on the National Network each year
Notes:

--From 1962-1978, inclusive, NBC used the primary play-by-play voice for each school to call one half of the game while the other man did color analysis.

At halftime, the two would switch roles. Where a team is listed in the color commentator column, we are trying to ascertain the name of the man who was the primary voice for that team for that year.

--The 1927 game was the first to be broadcast nationally.
