JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) – The Atlanta Braves will now air on WLBT-TV.
The Atlanta Braves (Nasdaq: BATRA, BATRK) and Gray Media (NYSE: GTN) have agreed on a multi-year partnership starting in 2025 for Gray to simulcast 15 regular season games alongside FanDuel Sports Network, the Braves’ rightsholder partner.
The 15 regular season games will be spread across the season, and selected games will be announced at a later date. Gray will also exclusively produce and air 10 spring training games.
Gray will carry the Braves in 24 markets across six states of the Braves’ home television territory – one of the largest in professional sports – and allow more fans to watch than ever before, including WLBT on 3.3.
“We are thrilled to partner with Gray Media to offer our fans more opportunities to watch a simulcast of certain games and access our content all across the Southeast,” said Atlanta Braves President & CEO Derek Schiller. “This partnership makes Braves baseball even more accessible, allowing fans throughout Braves Country the ability to watch in a way that best suits them, whether that is on cable, local TV, or streaming.”
“Gray Media is thrilled to partner with the Atlanta Braves to bring baseball back to local broadcast television across the Southeast,” Gray Chairman and CEO Hilton Howell said. “We are proud to give Braves fans a new way to watch their favorite players and one of the best franchises in baseball history.”
More information on the selected games as well as the additional content will be released prior to the start of the season.
The Braves won the World Series in 2021.
