2015 WNBA Season
As originally written by BWBarefoot
For the third year in a row, I kept track of the WNBA (women's pro basketball league) telecasts. Once again, there were 12 teams in the league for its 19th season, which began in June and ended in October.
ESPN had exclusive national telecasts, while NBA TV had simulcasts of selected games. Local broadcasts were also available out-of-market through WNBA Live Access, which charged a subscription fee.
All times Eastern.
