Anaheim Ducks will move local broadcasts from Bally to over-the-air channel and streaming

The Anaheim Ducks are the latest NHL team to move their local game broadcasts from a regional sports network to a combination of direct to consumer streaming and local broadcasts.

The Ducks announced on Tuesday that 65 games next season will be on an over-the-air channel in Los Angeles. They are also partnering on a multi-year deal with A Parent Media Co. Inc. to stream all games free of charge regionally on the Victory+ streaming service.

Anaheim's contract with Diamond Sports Group expired at the end of the 2023-24 season. Games had aired on Bally Sports West.

“The Ducks are already a significant content coordinator and have a team president with a broadcasting background,” said Jason Walsh, the chief operating officer for A Parent Media.
