Media Coverage
Currently, some Connecticut Sun games are broadcast on CPTV Sports (CPTV-S), which is a local television station for the state of Connecticut. More often than not, NBA TV will pick up the feed from the local broadcast, which are shown nationally. Broadcasters for the Sun games on CPTV consist of Bob Heussler and Rebecca Lobo, Jennifer Rizzotti or Kara Wolters. For the 2011 season, Sun games were broadcast on Comcast Sports Net New England, with Mike Gorman as an announcer. Prior to the 2010 season, the Sun inked a deal with WCTX (MyTV9), a station for the state of Connecticut. In addition to Mike Gorman and Rebecca Lobo, broadcasters in the past have included: Bob Heussler, Leah Secondo and Kara Wolters.
Audio broadcasts for all home games are done by Bob Heussler, which (excluding blackout games, in which case are available on ESPN3.com) are streamed to the WNBA LiveAccess game feeds on the league website. Furthermore, some Sun games are broadcast nationally on ESPN, ESPN2 and ABC. The WNBA has reached an eight year agreement with ESPN, which will pay right fees to the Sun, as well as other teams in the league.

“The media transforms the great silence of things into its opposite. Formerly constituting a secret, the real now talks constantly. News reports, information, statistics, and surveys are everywhere.”
