NHL Vegas Golden Knights: Must-See TV Over-the-Air

The Vegas Golden Knights have been turning heads not only for their exciting play on the ice but also for their extraordinary success on free broadcast TV. After leaving AT&T to air their games on Scripps-owned ION network KMCC-TV their network TV ratings have more than doubled, making them a must-watch for their hockey fans and even those new to the sport.

The NHL’s Vegas Golden Knights are embracing free broadcast TV and it has proven to be a game-changer. “The viewership and engagement we are seeing for the Golden Knights this year have grown incredibly and should dispel any doubts about the power of an over-the-air broadcast channel to serve sports fans,” Scripps Sports President Brian Lawlor said. “The Golden Knights wanted to reach more of their fans, and they clearly are.”

As more people explore alternatives to cable TV, cord-cutting with an antenna has become a popular choice. The best part? You don’t need a cable subscription to catch all the action – all you need is an Antennas Direct TV antenna. With an antenna, you can access network TV channels and enjoy a variety of content without the burden of a monthly subscription fee. It’s a cost-effective and flexible way to enjoy sports, news, and entertainment.

“This partnership with Scripps Sports has allowed more of our fans to access our games on TV than ever before,” Golden Knights President Kerry Bubolz said. “With the team’s success as defending Stanley Cup champions and our 9-0-1 start, we couldn’t have asked for a better time to provide this enhanced access for our fans in the Las Vegas Valley and beyond.”

So, whether you’re a die-hard hockey fan or simply curious to see what all the excitement is about, the Vegas Golden Knights offer compelling reasons to tune in for free. And with a reliable antenna, you can catch their games, all while saving money and enjoying the flexibility of cord cutting.
