I can't as many teams in the USA are willing to give games away on free stations. They should have half the games free, rest yes like said a direct pay would be nice. Since cable boxes started charging and blocking out games we used to get over half the games free on local channels. That's how it should be again.

Coconuts Posted November 2, 2023 Author Share Posted November 2, 2023 Sounds like it's working out pretty well for them https://thenhlzone.com/golden-knights-local-ratings-up-big/ Before the 2023-2024 NHL season began, the Golden Knights ended their relationship with their previous local cable partner, AT&T SportsNet, to move to a free, over-the-air partner with Scripps Sports, and so far, the move is bringing in extraordinary results. Through five regionally televised games, Scripps Sports is averaging a household rating of 8.5, which is a 135% increase when compared to all major telecasts last season. The most-watched game of the season came when the Knights beat the Dallas Stars in a shootout on October 21st that averaged a 10.5 rating. These numbers come with the great start to the season that the Golden Knights have had on the ice, with a 9-0-1 start. In addition, the Golden Knights streaming service, KnightTime+, has averaged around 1 million minutes of streaming for each week of the season, so far. For comparison, this is around 10,000 viewers a week watching games through the streaming service. Currently, the Golden Knights and the Coyotes are the only NHL teams airing games over-the-air with zero cost for consumers. With these results, along with more teams across different leagues moving to over-the-air partners amid the fallout of Bally Sports, we should only expect more NHL teams to join the Golden Knights in this process of leaving cable for free broadcast channels.
