Penguins Announce 'SportsNet Pittsburgh' as Regional Sports Network

SportsNet Pittsburgh, a regional sports network (RSN) owned by the Penguins, will be the home of Penguins hockey for all regionally televised games. The network will begin televising games in the upcoming 2023-24 season, it was announced today by Penguins President of Business Operations, Kevin Acklin.

The Penguins entered into an agreement to acquire and re-brand the existing AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh (ATTSNP) network, effective October 2. SportsNet Pittsburgh (SNP) will be owned by the Penguins, following an agreement to acquire the network from Warner Bros. Discovery, with daily operations managed by New England Sports Network (NESN), an affiliate of Penguins' ownership, Fenway Sports Group. Fans will be able to continue watching games seamlessly on their favorite cable, satellite or streaming provider.

"Our top priority is to continue to deliver Penguins hockey, creative content tailored to our fans, and other exciting sports coverage of the region," said Acklin. "SportsNet Pittsburgh also allows us to deliver our own quality production in collaboration with the expertise of NESN."

"We appreciate the collaboration from the Penguins and Fenway Sports Group as we reach an agreement that is in the best interest of all parties, including the fans we all serve," said Patrick Crumb, President, Regional Sports Networks, Warner Bros. Discovery Sports. "I'd especially like to thank our Pittsburgh General Manager Shawn McClintock for his leadership, along with all of our colleagues who have worked passionately for years to showcase Penguins hockey. We wish the Penguins and Fenway Sports Group much success as they assume ownership of newly named SportsNet Pittsburgh."

SportsNet Pittsburgh will continue to operate out of its North Shore studios. Further details, including full broadcast coverage information, will be revealed at a later date.
