Atlanta Braves bringing fans closer to the action with WLOX, Gray Media partnership

BILOXI, Miss. (WLOX) – The Atlanta Braves partnered with Gray Media, WLOX’s parent company, to bring 10 spring training games and 15 regular season games to viewers in South Mississippi.

“It’s amazing, especially for our fans all throughout the Southeast, and our fans down in Mississippi, they’re going to be able to get 15 regular season games that are going to be across the Gray TV network,” said Greg Mize, the Atlanta Braves Vice President of Marketing and Innovation.

The games will air on several channels including WLOX ABC and CBS, WLOX Bounce, and the Gulf Coast Sports and Entertainment Network.

Mize said not having the ability to watch games has been an issue for fans over the years. The new partnership with Gray Media will help close the gap.

“With a game happening every night, there’s just something very comforting about having baseball on in the background. We’re really excited about it,” said Mize.

Mize said baseball helps bring people together, and that will only be enhanced through this new partnership.

“There’s just something very special and unique about baseball,” said Mize. “Going back to your childhood and remembering watching games with your grandparents and listening to games with your parents. Just the connections and the memories that baseball makes and can enable is unprecedented.”

“We take that very seriously, we know the role that we play in people’s lives and we are proud and happy to be a part of it throughout the entire Southeast.”

The Atlanta Braves Opening Day game at the San Diego Padres and the team’s home opener against the Miami Marlins will be broadcast by Gray Media.
