The Milwaukee Brewers are partnering with FanDuel Sports Network, Good Karma Brands and a handful of local television broadcasters to make around a dozen regular-season and spring training games available on free over-the-air TV.
The games include 10 regular-season matches and three spring training games, which will be simulcast between FanDuel Sports Network and Fox-owned TV station WITI (Channel 6) in the Milwaukee area, the team announced on Tuesday.
Other TV stations in the region will also simulcast Brewers games, including:
- WISC (Channel 3) in Madison, Wisconsin
- WKBT (Channel 8, CBS) in Eau Claire, Wisconsin
- KDLH (Channel 3, CW Network) in Duluth, Minnesota
- WSAW (Channel 7, CBS) in Wausaw, Wisconsin
In some of those markets, a sister station may broadcast the games on behalf of the main station.
“The partnership with Good Karma Brands is an incredible opportunity to bring Brewers baseball to even more local fans,” Glenn Berk, the Senior Vice President and General Manager at WITI, said in a statement. “Baseball is a cornerstone of our community, and we’re proud to provide free broadcast access, giving our hometown crowd more ways to cheer on the Brewers all season long.”
“We are extremely excited to partner with the Milwaukee Brewers, FOX6 and all of the Wisconsin affiliates to offer Brewers baseball to fans across the state.” said Greg Scalzo, the Vice President & Market Manager of Good Karma Brands Milwaukee. “This is an incredible opportunity to deliver free access to our communities across the state, ensuring more fans cheer on the defending NL Central Champion Brewers all season long.”
“Offering access to Brewers games and showcasing our players to as broad of an audience as possible is a high priority for us,” said Brewers President and Business Operations executive Rick Schlesinger. “This partnership with Good Karma Brands, in conjunction with FanDuel Sports Network, FOX 6 and the affiliates network gives us great reach to fans throughout the television territory.”
Out-of-market coverage of Brewers games will continue to be offered through MLB Extra Innings on cable and satellite, and via the MLB TV app for those who prefer to stream the matches.
