The 1952 Rose Bowl, on NBC, was the first national telecast of a college football game. The network broadcast both the Tournament of Roses Parade and the following game. Television network, play-by-play and color commentator(s) for the Rose Bowl from 1952 to the present.

After the 2009-10 season, ESPN had the contract to broadcast the BCS games, including the Rose Bowl game.[1][2] When the BCS was replaced by the College Football Playoff (CFP) in 2014, with the Rose Bowl Game as one of its six associated bowls, ESPN signed a new contract to broadcast all CFP games through the 2025 season.[3]

Notes:

--From 1962-1978, inclusive, NBC used the primary play-by-play voice for each school to call one half of the game while the other man did color analysis.

At halftime, the two would switch roles. Where a team is listed in the color commentator column, we are trying to ascertain the name of the man who was the primary voice for that team for that year.

--The 1927 game was the first to be broadcast nationally.

Local radio-Here is a list of those who called the game on their school's radio network specific to the participating schools
