Indiana Fever and TEGNA Announce Partnership to Broadcast Games Locally on WTHR and WALV.

The Indiana Fever and TEGNA have reached an agreement to broadcast certain Fever games for free on WTHR and

WALV in Indianapolis. This announcement comes after the Fever’s groundbreaking 2024 draft and renewed

enthusiasm from fans worldwide for the team, which is one of the WNBA’s most successful franchises.

Fresh off an historic WNBA draft night and amid widespread excitement for one of the League’s top franchises, the

Indiana Fever and TEGNA, Inc. have partnered to air select Fever games during the 2024 season. Seventeen games

will be broadcast over-the-air on WTHR or WALV, TEGNA’s NBC and MeTV affiliates in Indianapolis, providing

central Indiana fans the opportunity to watch the team and its promising young players strive to return to the WNBA playoffs.

TEGNA plans to collaborate with additional broadcasters in the coming weeks to extend free access to all available television markets beyond Indianapolis.

Rick Fuson, CEO of Pacers Sports & Entertainment, remarked, “The WNBA is attracting a growing number of new

fans who are eager to watch the world’s best basketball players in action, and the Fever have assembled a roster of

exceptional young talent that has captivated basketball enthusiasts worldwide. TEGNA and WTHR have been

outstanding local partners for years, and we are thrilled that more fans than ever will have the chance to witness these remarkable athletes in action.

“This marks an electrifying moment for women’s sports. The WNBA and Fever are setting the pace with this

groundbreaking agreement for local broadcast rights,” stated Dave Lougee, President and CEO of TEGNA. “The

incredible journey of Caitlin Clark and her teammates has resonated with millions. We’re excited to bring all the Fever action to every household in the Indianapolis region.”

“We’re thrilled to strengthen our robust marketing collaboration with the Pacers and Fever, as well as our enduring

dedication to local Indianapolis sports,” commented Michael Brouder, General Manager of WTHR. “Our station has

consistently been at the forefront of the most significant local events that embody the spirit of Hoosiers near and far.

Our entire team, both in front of and behind the camera, will be instrumental in helping the Fever forge deeper connections with our community and fans than ever before.”

The partnership between the Fever and TEGNA was facilitated and negotiated by Dan Granik and David Sternberg of

Range Sports, a Division of Range Media Partners, who have been long-time advisors to Pacers Sports & Entertainment.
