LAS CRUCES, N.M. – The NM State football opener will appear live on KVIA ABC-7, while the CW El Paso/Las Cruces plans to air the remaining four contests, the networks and NM State director of athletics Mario Moccia announced Friday.
The agreement was done in collaboration with NM State's athletics multimedia rightsholder, LEARFIELD.
"With a viewership area that numbers at over 1.5 million people, KVIA and The CW El Paso/Las Cruces have afforded NM State and its football program an excellent opportunity for exposure during the 2021 season," Moccia said. "Many college football teams around the nation do not have the potential to reach a vast number of fans through traditional linear broadcasts, so this element gives our program a leg up over many.
