The Southeastern Conference unveiled its 2012-13 women’s basketball television schedule and Florida will have 10 of its 16 league games broadcast live via the conference’s extensive package.

Those 10 Gator games begin with the team’s SEC-opener at Kentucky on Jan. 3rd, when SportSouth, FS Southwest and SunSports air the contest. Those outlets also will air the Feb. 10 game at Auburn and the March 3 outing at South Carolina.

The SEC Network, with its wide-range of multiple outlets, will broadcast the Gator’s home game against LSU on Sun., Jan. 6 at 2 p.m.

Florida’s home game against Tennessee on Jan. 13, which tips-off the league’s “We Back Pat” initiative, will be televised live by ESPNU beginning at 11:30 a.m.

Comcast Sports Southeast will air five additional games, beginning with Florida’s Jan. 24 home game against Ole Miss. Other Gator games airing the network include the Jan. 27 game at Georgia, Feb. 14 at Texas A&M, Feb. 17 at home against Georgia at 1 p.m. and Feb. 21 at home against Vanderbilt at 7 p.m.

In the fourth year of its agreement with ESPN, 58 regular season games and all 13 tournament games will be televised live.

Eighteen games that involve an SEC team will be distributed nationally with ESPN or ESPN2 televising eleven contests and ESPNU also televising seven. 

Regionally-syndicated games will be televised on the SEC Network as part of ESPN Regional Television (ERT). The SEC Network will televise eight conference games while SportsSouth and Comcast Sports Southeast will show 16 games each. The majority of games not televised nationally will be available as a part of ESPN Full Court, the pay subscription college basketball out-of-market service, and on ESPN3. All programming on ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU will be available on computers at WatchESPN.com and on smartphones and tablets via the WatchESPN app to fans who receive their video subscription from an affiliated provider.

The SEC Women’s Basketball Tournament will undergo a format change for the 2012-13 season. The tournament, which had been a four-day event featuring 12 teams since 1992, will now expand to 14 teams, adding an extra day of competition. Fox Sports Net continues its dedication to SEC events by adding the new Wednesday games, while continuing to televise the Thursday and Friday games. The semifinals will be aired on ESPNU for the fourth consecutive year, while the championship game will again be televised on ESPN2.
