Overview
- A multiyear agreement announced Wednesday between the Pistons and Scripps Sports makes WMYD TV20 Detroit the team’s local broadcast home starting with the 2026–27 season.
- Fans will be able to watch games free over the air, with access also available through participating cable and satellite providers, removing the need for a paid TV subscription to see local telecasts.
- TV20 will produce and air all locally available preseason and regular-season games and will add pregame, in-game, and postgame shows to create full game-day coverage.
- The partnership includes a weekly half-hour Pistons program and original team content across Scripps channels, with plans for a direct-to-consumer streaming app to be detailed later.
- This marks the Pistons’ first primary local broadcast home since 2005 and follows the shutdown of Main Street Sports, with Detroit becoming Scripps’ first full-time NBA partner and leveraging stations in markets such as Grand Rapids and Lansing for wider reach.
