The 2013 Masters: The Complete Broadcast Schedule for TV, Radio and Broadband

Fans who want to follow every aspect of The Masters will have plenty of access to content from no fewer than four television networks, and of course here at Bleacher Report. 

ESPN, CBS, CBS Sports Network and the Golf Channel will offer viewers extensive coverage starting on Wednesday. 

On the radio side it is Dial Global, but to be honest most radio stations carry only their hourly updates. If you want to listen to action in full, your best bet is to go to their website. Also airing complete coverage will be SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio. Subscribers can find the coverage on channel 93 for XM and channel 208 for Sirius fans. The channel can also be heard online at SiriusXM.com and through the SiriusXM Internet Radio App for smartphones and other mobile devices.

Broadband's source is Masters.com, where they will focus on “Amen Corner.” That means daily coverage of hole Nos.11-13 and Nos. 14-15, plus there will be total daily coverage featured groups– which will change each day.    

All live coverage of the Masters will be handled by CBS executive producer Lance Barrow. So the pictures you see on both ESPN and CBS, starting with Wednesday’s Par 3 contest to the Green Jacket presentation on Sunday, will be handled by Barrow and his crew.

The Golf Channel will not be involved with the coverage of the event, but they will offer plenty of bookend programming, starting each day with Morning Drive at 6 a.m. followed by Live from the Masters that will run each day from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. The night time version of the show airs at 7:30 p.m. each night through Sunday.

ESPN, Watch ESPN and ESPN 3D will begin their coverage with the Par 3 Tournament on Wednesday. The tournament that began in 1960 is a really fun event to watch. Airtime for the event will be 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.    

The ESPN broadcast will be hosted by Mike Tirico for Thursday and Friday's telecasts, and he will conduct player interviews from Augusta National’s Butler Cabin with analyst Curtis Strange.
