TEGNA has entered into agreements to broadcast 15 NBA games per season for the Minnesota Timberwolves and Memphis Grizzlies on its local stations. The broadcasts will leverage DAZN's production teams and will be distributed via both over-the-air television and the DAZN streaming service.
This partnership highlights the ongoing migration of professional sports from struggling regional sports networks to local broadcast television. By combining over-the-air reach with DAZN's digital infrastructure, TEGNA is addressing the fragmentation of local sports viewership while maintaining broad accessibility for non-cable households. This move aligns with broader industry trends seen at Gray Media and Scripps, where broadcasters are reclaiming premium live content to bolster their local advertising value. As the Grizzlies' territory expansion progresses, watch for how many additional affiliate stations join the network to gauge the scalability of this hybrid broadcast-streaming model.
