ESPN's exclusive national coverage of the NCAA women's basketball tournament will feature all 63 games, either on ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPN Full Court. The maps below detail home market protected games -- areas which will see their home-market games in their entirety. The rest of the country will be part of ESPN's whiparound coverage, where ESPN and ESPN2 will take viewers to the best action from different games.
All first- and second-round games are available in their entirety to cable and satellite subscribers through ESPN Full Court. ESPNU will also select 14 first and second round games to be shown in their entirety. Note: these games are simulcasts from the ESPN/ESPN2 whiparound feeds.
Overview
Regionalization/Home Market Protection: Cable Subscribers -- In the home markets of the competing teams, ESPN or ESPN2 will televise the game of local interest. While constant updates from the other games will be provided, the networks, for the most part, will not switch to another game during live action, thereby establishing home market protection.
