Washington, D.C. (August 31, 2006) -- Fox Sports Net has announced that it's adding national HDTV broadcasts to its lineup of high-def college football games.

The first national game will be Utah vs. UCLA on Saturday, September 2, at 7 p.m. ET. Fox Sports Net channel is available on DIRECTV and most cable systems.

Previously, Fox Sports Net only provided local and regional broadcasts of college gridiron action. However, the network said it will broadcast 23 national games, 15 of which will be from the Big 12 and Pac 10 conferences.

The channel says it broadcasts more than 1,400 hours of HDTV action every year, including football, baseball, basketball and hockey.
