A lot of these teams rely on RSNs for revenue, and the total loss of Bally Sports would have crippled those teams.

CircleSeven 1955 Posted March 2, 2024 Share Posted March 2, 2024 (edited) New deal. Cavs will air some of their games over the air. Five Cavaliers games will air on Gray-owned stations Cleveland's WUAB 43 & Cincinnati's WXIX 19. Gray has also struck a deal with Tegna, Nexstar & Cox Media Group to air some or all five games in nearby markets. In Columbus, Tegna's WBNS will air two games (4/6 & 4/7) on the main signal 10.1, while a third game (3/20) will air on MeTV subchannel 10.2. Nexstar's WCMH will air two games (3/8 & 3/29). In Dayton, Nexstar's WBDT will air three games (3/8, 3/20 & 3/29). CMG's WHIO will air two games (4/6 & 4/7). Nexstar's WTRF Wheeling and WYTV Youngstown will air all five games on their respective MyNet .2 subchannels.

T.L. Hughes 889 Posted March 5, 2024 Share Posted March 5, 2024 (edited) A little late on learning this, but Gray struck a deal to air the WFAA Mavericks package in two of its Texas markets (one of which technically is a border market with Oklahoma): * In Lubbock, KLCW and KMYL will split the games evenly between them (3/1, 3/13, 3/29, 4/5 and 4/10 on KLCW, and 3/11, 3/21, 4/4, 4/9 and 4/12 on KMYL). * In the Sherman-Ada market, KXII will air most of the games on its MyNetworkTV subchannel 12.2, while the remaining two games (3/29 & 4/12) will air on its Fox sub on 12.3.

Expand You can cross the Kraken off that list...they already announced back in April that they're leaving Root Sports, and are moving their telecasts to KING/KONG (the majority of the games on the latter station). As far as the metro NYC teams, so long as the MSG Networks control the TV rights for all three, the only way anyone of them air a game on over-the air TV (not involving ABC) are in one-off situations. The Knicks have priority on the main MSG Network, and if the Rangers are playing at the time as a Knicks game, they get moved to MSG SportsNet; in the event that the Knicks, Rangers, Devils, and Islanders are all playing at the same time, the latter two get moved to the overflow "2" channels. With the other teams you've mentioned...with the Kings, I could see them re-upping with KCAL for another season of selected games, while KCOP may have a better chance with the Ducks, although I doubt that would happen. With the Blackhawks, the new sports network that they co-own that's set to launch in the fall, it was mentioned that it would include some sort of over-the-air component in addition to cable/satellite coverage, although no specifics were mentioned. And with the Wild, with Bally Sports North being essentially co-owned with WUCW, which already aired Timberwolves and Minnesota United FC overflow games recently, as well as some Wild games back in 2022, as long as that RSN sticks around, I believe WUCW will continue in that "overflow" role.
