Sinclair/Ballys/ESPN/TNT ... broadcasting access, tips and notes

The Preds signed a deal with Scripps Sports to replace FanDuel next season. The games will be broadcast on a local TV station, owned by the Ion Media division of Scripps. They’ll offer over the air and direct to cinsumer options. Scripps also has deals with Florida, Tampa, Utah and Vegas.

There is an Ion/Scripps owned station in the area, WRPX, channel 47 licensed in Rocky Mount. Might be an option for Fork to pursue. Tonight’s offerings on the station are nonstop episodes of Chicago Fire from season 5, which were originally broadcast in 2016-17.
 
I’ve been loving the new Braves vision. I pay 29.99 on the mlb app for the entire season. Not sure how I’ve been getting that price every year but it keeps renewing through Apple for that. I ain’t complaining. The production is great and it’s the same group that was on fan duel and Ballys. Even the camera crew because most of those guys are local contract/union guys and don’t work solely for fan duel.

I understand that the Canes have been consulting with the Preds and are very aware of that deal’s particulars. I do think Scripps is an option for the Canes, but it would also depend on the streaming element.
