sports channel

Game coverage network

A sports channel is a television network dedicated to broadcasting athletic events, sports news, and related programming.

The term often appears in discussions of cable packages and streaming options: I need a sports channel to watch the playoffs.

Major sports channels like ESPN have become cultural institutions beyond mere broadcasters.
