Gray Media is partnering with the St. Louis Blues to broadcast NHL games for free in the St. Louis market and 10 other Gray Media markets, covering over 4.8 million households. The games will be broadcast over-the-air and via popular cable, satellite, and streaming providers. The partnership aims to provide a new opportunity for viewers to watch the Blues games via antenna.

The St. Louis Blues and Gray Media have announced an exciting partnership to broadcast NHL games for free in the St. Louis market and ten other Gray Media markets [1]. This arrangement covers over 4.8 million television households, providing a new opportunity for viewers to watch Blues games via antenna and popular cable, satellite, and streaming providers.

According to Chris Zimmerman, Blues President and CEO, Business Operations, "Considering our long-standing relationship with Gray Media and their presence across the Midwest, they are a perfect partner to help us explore our broadcasting options as part of our ongoing efforts to grow our reach among existing and future Blues fans" [1].

Under this partnership, Gray Media will broadcast a series of Blues games over-the-air during the stretch run of the season, including three games against the Winnipeg Jets, Los Angeles Kings, and Montreal Canadiens [1]. The games will air live on various channels across the Gray Media network, enhancing continuity for at-home viewers.

For example, in St. Louis, the games will air on KMOV-TV and Matrix Midwest, while in Kansas City, they will be broadcast on KCTV and KSMO [1]. The Blues have also retained the on-air talent and production crew of FanDuel Sports Network to produce the games, ensuring high-quality broadcasts.

This partnership is a significant development for both the St. Louis Blues and Gray Media. It not only provides a new opportunity for viewers to watch their favorite hockey team but also enhances Gray Media's reach and reputation as a leading media company in the Midwest.
