Louisiana Tech will now play at least six games on television this fall as part of the 2016 football season.

Conference USA announced its preliminary TV schedule Wednesday morning with the American Sports Network picking up two and CBS Sports Network televising a primetime home game for the Bulldogs.

The three games join Tuesday's announcement that Tech's season opener at Arkansas will be televised on SEC Network. Additionally, Tech has one game on the ESPN family of networks against Southern Miss, and the nonconference game with Texas Tech was picked up by Fox Sports Net.

ASN will broadcast the Oct. 1 home game against UTEP and a Sept. 24 road game at Middle Tennessee. Both games will kickoff at 6 p.m.

Tech to open 2016 season on SEC Network

Tech and Western Kentucky will play on Thursday night on CBS Sports Network at 7 p.m. This is the fourth straight year Tech has played a Thursday night game, joining Tulane (2013), North Texas (2014) and WKU (2015). Tulane and UNT were CBSSN games, while Tech and WKU played last year on FS1. Fox Sports is no longer part of the C-USA package.

Additional games that have yet to find a TV home include the Sept. 10 home opener against South Carolina State, October road games against UMass and Florida International, home games against Rice and UTSA and a Nov. 5 road game against North Texas.

Times have been announced for Tech's five home games with four coming at night. The lone day game is Homecoming on Nov. 12 against UTSA at 2:30 p.m. South Carolina State, UTEP and Rice are 6 p.m. kickoffs. WKU is at 7 p.m.

C-USA's new TV deal was announced last month with CBS Sports Network, American Sports Network, ESPN and beIN SPORTS, the latter of which is an international network which normally televises soccer.

On Tuesday, Old Dominion beat writer Harry Minium of The Virginian-Pilot reported the two-year deal is plummeting to $2.8 million per year, a significant drop from the $15.4 million annual total from the previous deal. C-USA members schools used to receive about $1.1 million per game in distributions, a number that will drop to around $200,000.
