Here's the lowdown, Sooner fam:
- ABC and ESPN: These are your big boys for many OU games. Got an antenna? Great! You're good to go for ABC broadcasts. For ESPN, you'll likely need a cable or satellite subscription (or a friend with a really long ethernet cable...hey, no judgement here).

Remember: Since the season hasn't started yet (get pumped!), you can't pinpoint the exact channel for every game just yet. But fret not, Sooner schedule websites and trusty TV guides will be your best friends come game day.
