MESA, ARIZ. — First, it was the September 2022 announcement that Nexstar Media Group West Coast flagship KTLA-5 in Los Angeles will return Los Angeles Clippers play-by-play to the lineup for the first time since 2009, on a selected game basis.
Then came word that the newly launched Scripps Sports landed a Friday night national Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) deal for its Ion network, starting on May 26.
Now, one can say a retro trend for live sports on over-the-air television has officially commenced, as Gray Television has scored a major broadcast TV deal with the WNBA and NBA franchises serving the Valley of the Sun.
