That's a weird station, but more broadcast is always good.

Interesting. I always thought Stadium would’ve been a good over the air partner but having it on Ion is the same idea.

Btw, I believe you can get Ion on a lot of streamers like Tubi and the like.

I just hope they put some effort into a broadcast and not just simulcast the regional productions.

I looked at the Friday night schedule and what I noticed is that many of the games have the same start times or the games overlap. I just wonder what method they will use to decide what games are broadcast in a specific geographic area.🤔

Are they not going to pick one game to air nationally while the others would just air in the normal regional channel?
