Gray Television Partners with Revamped Arena Football League to Bring Local Spring Football to Viewers Free Over-The-Air Starting April 27
28 Mars 2024 - 6:15PM
Gray Television Inc. (“Gray”) (NYSE: GTN) is pleased to announce a
multi-year agreement with the Arena Football League to bring
Saturday arena football games over-the-air to local audiences in at
least thirty-four markets across the United States. The first AFL
games on Gray’s television stations will air on Saturday, April 27,
2024, and continue for the ten-week 2024 AFL season.
Gray’s local broadcast AFL games
primarily focus on in-state teams matched to Gray’s local
television station markets. For example, the Georgia Force
(Atlanta) will air on Gray’s Georgia television stations in
Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta, Albany, Macon, and Columbus via Gray’s
Peachtree Sports Network. Other Arena teams with in-state games on
Gray stations include the Minnesota Myth, Nashville Kats, Louisiana
Voodoo, West Texas Hawks, Salina Liberty, Southwest Kansas Storm,
Wichita Regulators, and Rapid City Marshals. In addition, many Gray
stations in markets that are not currently affiliated with the AFL
will air one or more Saturday “Game of the Week” broadcasts of the
AFL.
“We’re excited to bring Spring
football to local audiences,” said Sandy Breland, Gray’s Chief
Operating Officer. “This agreement provides another example of how
Gray works to strengthen local communities with local and regional
sports content.”
“The AFL and Gray TV partnership is a
testament to the shared vision to bring spring football into the
homes of local viewers,” said Commissioner Lee Hutton. “The
strength and depth that Gray TV will provide the AFL viewership is
firmly motivated in their approach to keep the product and quality
to the fans always cutting edge and you never get better action
than AFL football.”
The NFL Network will carry a separate
package of approximately 30 games on a national basis on Thursdays
and Sundays during the AFL season. Gray’s Tupelo Media Group will
produce AFL games airing on the NFL Network. For additional
