"While the broadcast landscape for the league's fourth year, expected to start sometime in the late fall, is 'pretty much set already,' the eye is on the future, Kasten said. 'For year five, we’re hoping we can make quite a bit of improvements in our media delivery packages,' he said.
What exactly that looks like isn't yet clear. Scripps Sports-owned Ion was the first network to broadcast PWHL games nationally in the U.S. last season, and Scheer said the league will see where that partnership goes. 'A lot of conversations out there, but it's got to be the right deal for us in terms of the way they value us,' she said. 'So when that deal comes along, and again, we've had multiple conversations, we'll do it. But we don't want to compromise how we value ourselves to do it.'"
You'd think she'd have a few kind words for Ion, instead it's the same pre-Olympic 'If you don't value us, your loss' tough talk. Not super encouraging.
Reminder: PWHL debut on Ion did 133,000 viewers. Doesn't say if average or peak, but usually it's the former unless mentioned otherwise.
