One of the country’s premier college baseball programs and a fan favorite of sports fans across Oregon is coming to Portland’s airwaves and beyond.
Oregon State University and the Pac-12 Conference have reached a deal with Portland’s CW to broadcast at least 18 Beaver baseball games this spring on Portland’s CW, Your Home for Local Sports. The unique deal will also allow fans across the state and around the world to stream the games live on KOIN.com.
“It’s an honor to bring the three-time NCAA Division I National Champions to local viewers and showcase these amazing student-athletes and coaches as they strive for a fourth NCAA Division I Championship in 2025,” said Tom Keeler, Vice President and General Manager of Portland’s CW and KOIN-6.
“We are excited to partner with Portland’s CW to showcase our nationally prominent baseball program,” said Scott Barnes, Vice President and Director of Athletics at Oregon State. “We committed to building a schedule that allows our student-athletes to compete with the best teams and have established a partnership that will provide the coverage Beaver Nation desires for this championship program.”
Oregon State baseball ranks among the elite programs in the country. In 2024, the Beavers advanced to the postseason for the 23rd time. Oregon State baseball has played in the Men’s College World Series seven times, winning national titles in 2006, 2007, and 2018.
Portland’s CW is also scheduled to air six Oregon State football games during the 2024 season, thanks to the Pac-12’s affiliation with CW Network. The Beavers’ season kicks off on Portland’s CW on Saturday, 8/31 against Idaho State. Coverage will begin at 3:30 p.m.
The CW broadcasts on channel 32.1 over-the-air to the Portland television market. Known locally as Your Home for Local Sports, Portland’s CW will also air ACC football and NASCAR Xfinity Series racing this fall, in addition to contests from other local colleges and universities.
