Previously, the Golden Knights aired in Utah on AT&T SportsNet, which also had aired Utah Jazz games in the past.
This broadcast deal had previously been approved by the NHL.
Golden Knights team president and CEO Kerry Bubolz shared further information during Thursday remarks.
A deal that matters to us. A deal that matters to our fans. 📺

This deal between Cincinnati-based Scripps and the Golden Knights entails all non-nationally exclusive games.
This consists of full distribution on satellite, cable and over-the-air television.
This mirrors what the NBA’s Phoenix Suns did last week with their new television deal that will make games free over the air in the Phoenix market, as well as in Tucson, Ariz. and Yuma, Ariz.
The Golden Knights are the first professional sports franchise to reach a deal with Scripps.
