Tri-City Americans to televise nine games
11/09/06 - Western Hockey League (WHL) Tri-City Americans
Kennewick, WA - For the first time in the 19-year history of the Tri-City Americans hockey club, the team is proud to announce a deal with KVEW TV to broadcast nine Americans regular season games on over-the-air television this season. The first broadcast was last Saturday night from Toyota Center as the Americans hosted the Spokane Chiefs and was broadcast on the new KVEW "My Network" channel seen locally and in Yakima on Charter Digital Channel 280 and digital channel 42.2 in the Tri-Cities and 35.2 in the greater Yakima area.
All nine games will be available in both the Tri-Cities and Yakima markets via Charter Cable. Three games will be televised on KVEW 42 and jointly in Yakima on KAPP 35. Kevin Uretsky will call all the action and Grant Linnen will provide the color commentary.
"We are thrilled to extend our relationship with the Americans to include televising games within the Mid-Columbia," said KVEW/KAPP general manager Brian Paul. "Our goal is to grow this partnership with the Americans not only this season but for seasons to come."
"This was one of the major goals of the Americans ownership group when they took over the club and this will not only reward existing fans for their loyalty but also expose potential new fans to the club throughout the Mid-Columbia region," said Americans senior vice-president of business operations/chief marketing officer Brian Sandy.
Here are the games that will be televised:
Saturday, November 11th at Spokane 7 pm (KVEW MY Network TV)
Sunday, November 12th vs. Red Deer 5pm (KVEW MY Network)
