In addition to network and syndicated programming, WITN-TV also produces live broadcasts of select ECU football and basketball games that have not been picked up by ESPN as part of their deal with Conference USA, which the Pirates are a member. Even though most of the broadcasts were limited to the Greenville market, WITN did manage to get other stations throughout North Carolina to carry a contest in 2003 that pitted ECU against in-state rival UNC at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium on ECU's campus.
