Voom Sports Regional Networks

**Voom Sports Regional Networks** is the collective name for a group of regional sports networks in the United States that are primarily owned and operated by the Dorado Television Group division of the Dorado Media Group.
The group operates five regional networks. Each of the networks carries regional broadcasts of sporting events from various professional, collegiate, and high school sports teams (with broadcasts typically exclusive to each individual network, although some are shown on more than one network within a particular team's designated market area), along with regional and national sports discussion, documentary and analysis programs.

Depending on their individual team rights, some Voom Sports Regional Networks maintain overflow feeds available via subscription television providers in their home markets, which may provide alternate programming when not used to carry game broadcasts that the main feed cannot carry due to scheduling conflicts. Voom Sports Regional Networks is headquartered in Portland, Oregon, with master control facilities based in both Los Angeles and New York.

### **High definition**

Each regional channel (and in some cases, their alternate feed) has its own separate high-definition feed, with their own set schedules of programming – including live sports events as well as locally produced and Voom Sports-distributed national programs and live studio shows – available in HD.

### **Overflow feeds**

Most Voom Sports Regional Networks maintain alternate (or overflow) feeds under the **Plus** brand (with the network's regional name suffixed preceding the "Plus" title) for the broadcast of two or more events involving teams the respective network holds the broadcast rights to carry.

## National programs

### **Programming strategy**

Each of the Voom Sports regional network outlets has acquired the play-by-play broadcast rights to major sports teams in their regional market (exempting NFL regular season or playoff games, since the league's contracts require all games to be aired on broadcast television in each participating team's local markets). In addition to local play-by-play coverage, the Voom Sports networks also produce and broadcast pre-game and post-game shows, and broadcasts weekly "magazine" shows centered on the teams that maintain rights with the individual network. In some markets, Voom Sports competes directly with other regional sports networks for the broadcast rights to team-specific programming.

Voom Sports Regional Networks also purchase shows or broker time slots for sports and outdoors programming from outside producers in their region to fill out their schedule further. Finally, low-trafficked late night and early morning timeslots are programmed locally with paid programming.
