UNLV TO APPEAR ON THE MTN. & CBS COLLEGE SPORTS THIS SEASON The Mountain West Conference television package will reach a national audience in 2008-09 through a combination of telecasts on The MountainWest Sports Network (The Mtn.), CBS College Sports Network (formerly CSTV) and VERSUS. The Mtn. has been available to cable subscribers in the MWC footprint since it first aired in 2006-07 and is now available nationally on DIRECTV. In 2008, UNLV football will make three appearances on CBS College Sports and seven more on The Mtn. On Aug. 26, 2004, College Sports Television (CSTV) and the MWC announced a visionary partnership that revolutionized the college sports landscape. The landmark agreement was the first NCAA Division I football and men’s basketball conference-wide deal for CSTV and provided the network exclusive rights to all conference events, including cable and satellite television coverage, national over-the-air and satellite radio, video-on-demand and online broadcast rights. A succession of events since the fall of 2004 has improved the television model, including CSTV’s merger with Comcast SportsNet to create The Mtn. – MountainWest Sports Network and CBS Corporation’s purchase of CSTV. On Feb. 12, 2008, CBS incorporated CSTV’s cable, broadcast and online activities into its world-famous brand. The Mtn. is co-owned by CBS C and Comcast SportNet. The relationship with Comcast SportNet also delivered another national broadcast partner in VERSUS. The MWC was the first exclusive college programming provider for the Comcast-owned entity, with football and both men’s and women’s basketball games. The CBS C/MWC partnership has guaranteed greater levels of television exposure for all league sports and has resoundingly met the fundamental goals of more exposure and preferred start times and dates. In the summer of 2006, the centerpiece of this historic relationship was realized with the launch of The Mtn. – the first sports network dedicated to serving a single collegiate athletic conference. The Mtn. provides sports fans blanket coverage of MWC athletics across multiple sports, including football, men’s and women’s basketball, and men’s and women’s Olympic sports. Along with live games, fans get a comprehensive array of news, features and analysis about their favorite MWC teams and players. In 2007-08, more than 250 MWC events were shown live on The Mtn., CBS C and VERSUS. CBS C is currently available in over 65 million homes, while VERSUS is in more than 73 million households.

16 UNLV ON TELEVISION

The Mtn. will televise 30 MWC football games this fall, including seven involving UNLV.

NATIONAL EXPOSURE Since 2000, UNLV football has made appearances on CBS C, VERSUS, The Mtn., ABC, TBS, Fox Sports West, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN U, ESPN+Plus and Sportswest. A new era began in the fall of 2006 as College Sports Television (CSTV, which was renamed CBS College Sports in 2008) became the official television partner for the Mountain West Conference, which forged a potential 14-year agreement that gave the fastest-growing independent cable network UNLV, which has had 77 exclusive rights to football and men’s basketball, plus coverage for all other games televised in Las Vegas since league sports. The multi-media partnership also includes The Mtn., the first- 1999, opened on national ever sports network dedicated solely to an intercollegiate athletic conference. television for five straight seasons This fall three Rebel games are slated for national exposure on CBS C while in 2001-05. seven others will be televised on The Mtn.
