A “sports-first” live TV streaming platform trying to put the kibosh on a planned launch of the Venu Sports platform from The Walt Disney Co., Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery has secured a rights agreement with the company that owns such over-the-air stations as KFAA-29 in Dallas, KONG-16 in Seattle and flagship property WUSA-9 in Washington, D.C.
TEGNA on Thursday announced it has reached a new multi-year agreement with FuboTV Inc.
The agreement allows subscribers to enjoy live telecasts from the NHL’s Seattle Kraken’s official TV home, KONG-TV; the Dallas Mavericks NBA team’s local TV home, KFAA (formerly KMPX-TV); and the home of the Colorado Avalanche hockey team — KTVD-20 in Denver.
“We’re thrilled to enhance access for viewers and fans through our partnership with Fubo,” said TEGNA SVP/Media Operations Brad Ramsey. “By leveraging Fubo’s innovative platform and our dedication to collaborating with premier NBA and NHL teams in our markets, we’re committed to ensuring fans never miss a moment of the action.”
