When the Bowl Championship Series was formed in 1998, television coverage was consolidated on the ABC Television Network. Beginning with the 2006 season, the Fox Broadcasting Company took over television coverage of the Sugar Bowl, Orange Bowl, and Fiesta Bowl games. ABC retained the Rose Bowl game under a separate contract.〔(ABC Pulls Its BCS Bowl Bid ). NCAA Sports, November 20, 2004〕 Radio broadcast coverage has been on ESPN Radio. ==Television== From 1999 to 2006 (1998-2005 seasons), all games of the BCS were televised by ABC Sports.
