Publishing timestamp: 2023-10-05 16:45:52
Summary
The Arizona Coyotes have reached a deal with E.W. Scripps Company to broadcast their local games on free, over-the-air networks. This comes after the team's previous regional sports network, Bally Sports Arizona, rejected their contract due to bankruptcy. Other professional teams in Arizona have also left Bally Sports Arizona for new TV homes. The move highlights the pressure on cable TV bundles due to cord cutting, while broadcast stations aim to secure more sports media rights. The terms of the deal between the Coyotes and Scripps were not disclosed.
