The team announced its 2020 broadcast schedule Monday. Here's how it breaks down:
• Eight games will be televised nationally, on ESPN, ESPN2 or CBS Sports network, including Sunday's season opener vs. Connecticut.
• Nineteen games, including some of the nationally televised games, will be available on either Fox Sports North or Fox Sports North Plus.
Of those 19, six will be FSN-produced telecasts with Marney Gellner and Lea B. Olsen calling the games remotely from Target Center's broadcast center. It is Gellner's 10th season as play-by-play announcer and Olsen's 12th season as analyst.
The other 13 telecasts will appear on FSN Plus but will be WNBA-produced feeds with announcers to be named later.
