BUFFALO BITS 2004 SCHEDULE - Collegefootballdatadvds.com

TELEVISION APPEARANCES
Colorado has appeared on either national or regional television 160 times since the 1951
season, posting a 82-75-3 record in these games (35-26-2 in Boulder). The Buffaloes have
been on national TV a total of 90 times, owning a 44-43-3 record (20-12-2 in Boulder). Since
1990, the Buffaloes have been one of the most televised teams in the nation, as 111 of their
170 games (65 percent) have been broadcast either nationally or regionally. The first
appearance on TV by Colorado was in 1951, as the Nebraska game in Lincoln on Nov. 17
was broadcast to 19 states in the central part of the nation as part of the NCAA television
testing program; an estimated 8-to-10 million people watched the Buffs win in impressive
fashion. An interesting fact is that the first college football game ever televised on ESPN
involved Colorado, as the fledgling cable network broadcast the Oregon-CU game on Sept.
8, 1979. A detailed look at Colorado’s all-time national and regional televised games (with
