Media coverage

Radio

NRG Media provided nationwide radio coverage of the College World Series through its Omaha Station KOZN, in association with Westwood One. It also streamed all CWS games at westwoodonesports.com on Tunein and on SiriusXM. Kevin Kugler and John Bishop called games leading up to the Championship Series with Gary Sharp acting as the field reporter. The Championship Series was called by Kugler and Scott Graham with Bishop acting as the field reporter.

Kugler lost his voice after the games on June 16, so Jeff Leise (afternoon) and Damon Benning (evening) joined Bishop and Sharp on Westwood One for the games on June 17, 18, and 19 before Kugler returned on the night of the 19.

Television

ESPN carried every game from the Regionals, Super Regionals, and the College World Series across its networks. During the Regionals and Super Regionals, ESPN offered a dedicated channel, ESPN Bases Loaded (carried in the same channel allotments as its "Goal Line" services for football), which carried live look-ins and analyses across the games in progress.
