The St. Louis Blues and Gray Media today announced a multi-year partnership to simulcast 10 select Blue Note+ telecasts over-the-air on First Alert ABC in St. Louis and 10 other markets across the team’s five-state broadcast territory beginning this season.
The Thursday Night Blues package – exclusively featuring games played on Thursday night or afternoon – extends the multi-faceted partnership between the Blues and Gray for a third year onto Gray’s new ABC 32.
The arrangement will make Blues games available for fans to watch on local over-the-air television across the Blues’ broadcast territory covering more than 4.8 million television households, enabling new groups of viewers in the Midwest to watch their favorite hockey team via antenna and popular cable, satellite and streaming providers.
“Our priority in building a robust distribution strategy for Blue Note+ was to provide our fans with wide access and multiple viewing options that would enable them to watch Blues hockey on their preferred platform,” said Chris Zimmerman, Blues President and CEO, Business Operations. “We strongly value our ongoing partnership with Gray Media and their ability to help us double the number of over-the-area telecasts we are able to deliver to our fans from last year. Their growing network of affiliates in St. Louis and across the region is a great vehicle to help us connect with fans in a variety of ways.”
