Spectrum Teams Up With Ohio State Athletics

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Spectrum is teaming up with Ohio State Athletics to make game days even bigger. Through a new multi-year sponsorship, Spectrum will be a visible part of the action across some of the most iconic moments and venues in college sports, from Ohio Stadium to the Schottenstein Center.

Ohio State alumni and fans will see Spectrum on the sidelines with the 2025 National Champion Ohio State Football team, courtside with Men’s and Women’s Basketball, and popping up across concourse digital signage, radio broadcasts, and even with Ohio State’s beloved mascot, Brutus Buckeye.

“Buckeye fans bring unmatched energy to every game, and we love being a part of that,” said Sharon Peters, Executive Vice President, Chief Marketing Officer for Charter. “With millions of people watching Ohio State Athletics through Spectrum TV, Internet and Mobile, this is the perfect way for us to celebrate our deep ties with Ohio while connecting with customers and our employees across the state.”

When sports fans can’t be at the game in person, Spectrum’s Seamless Entertainment experience provides easy access to the games they want. Spectrum TV plans provide access to the most popular streaming apps - a retail value of up to $125 per month - at no additional cost. Streaming apps include the Disney+, Hulu Bundle and ESPN Unlimited, HBO Max Basic With Ads, Paramount+ Essential, Peacock Premium with Ads, AMC+ with Ads, ViX Premium with Ads, Tennis Channel and FOX One, with more apps including Discovery+ with Ads and BET+ coming soon.

“We are delighted to welcome Spectrum as a Proud sponsor of Ohio State Athletics,” said Todd Knisley, Vice President & General Manager at Ohio State Sports Properties. “Spectrum's services have long supported our community, and this sponsorship perfectly aligns our shared interests in celebrating Buckeye fans everywhere.”

The multi-year sponsorship was secured on behalf of Ohio State Athletics by athletics multimedia rightsholder Ohio State Sports Properties, the locally based team of Learfield – the leading media and technology company powering college athletics.
