The WNBA franchise that calls Atlanta home has forged a partnership with a locally headquarters broadcast television company with a national presence — a move that brings more sports to its fledgling Peachtree Sports Network enterprise.
Starting on May 15, the Atlanta Dream‘s non-national exclusive games will air locally on WPCH-17 “Peachtree TV” and across the region on the network.
The 2024 Women’s National Basketball Association season runs from May through September.
Peachtree TV is also available on YouTube TV and Hulu Live, in addition to over-the-air and MVPD distibution.
Peachtree Sports Network is available to viewers via Gray-owned stations in the Georgia cities of Albany, Augusta, Columbus, Macon, and Savannah.
“We are thrilled to partner with Gray Television to get the Atlanta Dream into even more households across our state and the Southeast region,” Dream President and Chief Operating Officer Morgan Shaw Parker said. “We believe that 2024 is going to be the most exciting season yet for the Dream. The atmosphere inside our arena is the best in the WNBA, and we are excited to have a television partner who can help us bring that experience to an even bigger audience.”
The Dream adds to Gray’s list of broadcast partnerships with the WNBA, with the team joining the Las Vegas Aces and Phoenix Mercury.
WANF-TV & WPCH-TV VP/GM Erik Schrader commented, “Across the nation, interest in women’s basketball has exploded over the past few years due largely to the amazing talent on the court. We are excited to be the Dream’s official broadcast partner on Peachtree TV this season. It’s another incredible opportunity to grow new fans, on the best platform to reach them, with the top broadcasting company in local television.”
