In other words, when you think of the event, you automatically think of the network because it's been there forever or it's such an automatic association.

The ones right off the top of my head:

1. The Masters and CBS
2. March Madness and CBS (although, this is now blending with TBS/TNT)
3. The Rose Bowl and ABC
4. SEC Football and CBS afternoons/ESPN nights
5. NFC Football and Fox
6. CWS/Regionals/SuperRegionals and ESPN

Ones that used to be when I was young but they changed networks:

1. The Olympics and ABC
2. NFC football and CBS
3. The British Open and ABC
4. Monday Night Football and ABC
5. The Orange Bowl and NBC
6. Wimbledon and NBC

And to my serial downvoter--

I'm old enough that when I think NBA, I think CBS.

CBS used to be everything until they screwed up with their Olympic and MLB contracts.

They've had exclusive rights to the Rose Bowl since I started watching college football in the 1990s. This would be my answer.
