List of Cotton Bowl Classic broadcasters

Television
Fox has televised the Cotton Bowl Classic since 1999. The current television agreement is through 2014. For many decades, the game was a New Year's Day staple on CBS, where the man most associated with the Cotton Bowl, Lindsey Nelson, handled the play-by-play. NBC televised the game in the 1950s and for a brief period in the mid-1990s.

'Notes'
 * During the 1980 game, CBS announcer Lindsey Nelson was stricken with laryngitis and had to leave the telecast after the first quarter. Sideline reporter Frank Glieber took over the play-by-play for the remainder of the game.

Spanish
In 2013, Fox Deportes will provide the first Spanish U.S. telecast of the Cotton Bowl Classic.

Radio
In 2013 and 2014, the game will be broadcasted by ESPN Radio and ESPN Deportes Radio. Brad Sham, who called the game for Westwood One in 1996, and from 1998 to 2012, will continue as play-by-play announcer for ESPN Radio. 2013 marks the first Spanish radio broadcast of the game.
