I'm thinking that it would be early October before something is released. Anaheim and Dallas has already launched their free apps. With Scripps being over the air and free, I'm hoping the app is free too
Could be wrong, but I think it would be accessible for cable subscribers. Bally was the same way.

I can try. I shouldn't complain since im piggybacking off a friend's TV streaming. But then again, it wouldn't allow me to watch Panther games if the Magic were playing

In my area of Port St Lucie I only have Bluestream as my cable provider. It's included in my HOA. Scripps is on channel 7, on Bluestream.
I looked ahead and there's a game on next Friday, the 27th, and Saturday, the 28th.

I live in the Melbourne area and have been a Panther fan, since attending the first ever home game, in 93. After I moved to Melbourne we were able to get Panther games on Bally Sports Florida on DirecTV satellite. Then we switched to DirecTV stream and it showed our zip code as getting the Panthers like DTV satellite did. Well, that wasn't so, as when ever the Panthers were scheduled we got alternative Bally programing. So I figured we must be out of market for DirecTV stream so I purchase ESPN+. That didn't work either. When ever a Panther game was scheduled on ESPN+ I would get a message it was blacked because it was available locally, which it wasn't. I contacted DirecTV, ESPN and the Panthers and all I would get is each one trying to throw the other other under the bus.
I am hoping that the new broadcast contract will resolve this issue, and it looks like we should get it on ESPN+, as the 3 Scripts stations are not in the Melbourne market.
Does anyone know if there is any description or map of the physical home boundaries of the teams? I can find them for football but haven't found any for the NHL.

I read somewhere that the local zone is south of Fort Myers on the west coast. And south of Fort Piece on the east coast. But I'm not 100% sure.

Here is some information the Panthers sent out today. Look for your zip code to see if you are in the Panthers viewing territory.
Panthers Plus is a standalone streaming service, not tied to any cable or internet provider. However, all Scripps Sports produced Panthers games are available for free over the air. Visit How to Watch | Florida Panthers for how to watch through cable and satellite.

I checked and it shows that the Melbourne zip codes are in the Panthers home market, but that is what DirecTV said last year under Bally Sports. No local TV Panther coverage, so if the Panther Plus page is correct, Brevard County fans can at least buy Panther Plus. Last year we only got to see them ŵhen they played the Lightning, all the national games were blacked out in our zip code ɓy DirecTV Stream.
From the information that was posted on the Panthers website Monday it looks like this is the approximate home coverage for the Panthers. If you live inside that area you will need to get the Panthers via local TV stations (OTA, cable, satellite or streaming), or the Panther+ app. Outside of this area you can watch their games on ESPN+, as Out of Market.
