Posted: 3:45 PM- The Utah Jazz released their television schedule for the 2008-09 season and, for the fourth straight year, all 82 games will be televised.

For the first time, the Jazz will also televise all seven preseason games.

Sixteen 16 regular-season games will air on KJZZ-TV and 60 games will be televised by Fox Sports Utah. The remaining six games will be televised exclusively by TNT.

For the fourth straight season, Craig Bolerjack will team with long-time Jazz analyst Ron Boone on all KJZZ-TV and Fox SportUtah broadcasts.

All broadcasts on KJZZ-TV and Fox Sports will feature a 30-minute pre- and postgame show, "Jazz Live." The hosts will be David James, Thurl Bailey and Pace Mannion.

Legendary Jazz broadcaster "Hot" Rod Hundley enters his 35th season calling Jazz games on radio for KFNZ-AM (1320) and KFNZ-FM (98.7) and the Jazz Radio Network. David Locke will host the pre-game show on KFNZ.

"With the addition of all seven preseason games, this will be the first year in our history that our fans will be able to watch and listen to every game the Jazz play," said Chris Baum, senior vice president of broadcasting.

"We're very fortunate to have dedicated partners like Fox Sports Utah, KJZZ-TV and KFNZ-AM to make this possible. With our expert team of broadcasters and analysts all returning, we're looking forward to another great season of Jazz basketball."

KJZZ-TV will tip off its broadcast schedule by televising all seven preseason games. KJZZ-TV will then carry 16 regular-season games (12 home, four away), beginning with the Nov. 5 game against Portland.

Fox Sports Utah, which will carry 60 regular season games (25 home, 35 away), opens its broadcast schedule with the Jazz's regular-season opener Oct. 29 against the Denver Nuggets.

"Through our great partnership with the Utah Jazz, we are thrilled to be able to bring 60 games this season to Jazz fans throughout the western Rocky Mountain region," said Tim Griggs, senior vice president and general manager of Fox Sports Utah. "The team consistently plays some of the most exciting basketball in the NBA and we're looking forward to presenting more Jazz games than ever."
