TV for Utah Hockey Club ‘24-‘25

I’ve seen in media that Utah TV 16 will carry every game this season. I think, based on Utah TV 16’s website, that this is a Scripps channel. Does anyone know if Scripps 61 in Phoenix will carry the games?

And can it be watched internationally

It was said in the early days of the relocation that the Utah broadcast would be carried OTA in the AZ market just as Coyotes games were last season. Then later there were rumors/rumblings that we might actually be considered a Vegas market for OTA. Now, there’s been silence for some time on the subject and I’m just not sure.

We should no longer be subject to local blackout, so if nothing else, we should be able purchase Center Ice and get not only all the Utah games but all the other NHL games and NHL Network (I think).

I’d be very happy if the team had their own streaming service that was more affordable than NHL CI, though. Since I really just want UTHC games. The Coyotes streaming service was pretty rough, as I recall. No spoiler-free DVR, no rewind, pause, or fast forward. Or something like that. Some hiccups that prevented me from purchasing.

For my money, the Bally App was the best Yotes broadcast experience I’ve ever had. I loved that thing. It was perfectly suited for my needs, always reliable, and very reasonably priced. I’d love to see something like that come out for UTHC.

OTA is nice because it’s free but it’s really unreliable. I’m cool with it for a rebuilding team. But if they were in do-or-die games down the stretch with major playoff implications, it wouldn’t be an option for me. I missed too many games unexpectedly due to errors.

I'd be concerned about NHL CI blackouts. Living in Utah, Arizona was never supposed to be blacked out but always was.

This is a big concern for me in Idaho.

In northern UT, both the Avs and VGK have been blacked out. I wonder how all these blackouts will be affected now.

FWIW, the VGK streaming app worked well enough and was a great deal at $72 for around 70 games. I understood that it was associated with Scripps. I’d be overjoyed if UHC could come up with something like that.

Just over $1 a game is very good value.

Wow, Kings fans that use the Bally's app report problems all season long.

I wish all teams did this

I had tons of problems as well with the Coyotes version.

please post whatever updates that you guys might have as this is crucial for out of towners who follow this franchise. last season i used espn+, prior seasons i had NHL center ice. i didn't even know about the Bally's stream. Many thanks in advance.

VGK was with Scripps, iirc so, I would think they will no longer have the same blackout restrictions and the Utah hockey club will take on those restrictions. Av's are Balley, those restrictions most likely will not change. My best semi educated guesses, for what they are worth.

I’ve read that Scripps will provide a streaming service with details “to be announced soon”

Wonder if Scripps will allow viewing while traveling internally

Fellas, do we know how we’re going to get these games now? Would like to get it going Sunday for the preseason games? Is center ice an option? Direct to consumer? Where we at?

 

[TheLegend]

Here we go…

EDIT: Arizona is not on the coverage map. Will be checking further.

EDIT EDIT: That’s for the full package including the Jazz. The UHC+ package will be available for AZ residents.

EDIT EDIT EDIT: Coverage map.

 

[Stanley Thermos]

That is the right price at $70 for 75 games.

 

[Coyotedroppings]

I would think Center Ice will be an option, will know soon enough, I reckon.

To add to the confusion, a guy on fb posted that Scripps will air the Utah games here and that the commercial I saw (posted in another thread), was for "select" vegas games.

So..... who the hell knows?

Unless streaming works for you.

 

[samandbigboy]

it looks like the HC+ plan isn't available for the DC area, so back to espn+ or center ice i suppose. :-(

Over cable and the air, yes,

Streaming is another thing. With my Vizio TV and can cast the stream from any device to the TV.

I watched most of the games last year from the iPad though.

I understand they're going on AppleTV+ as well.

From Patrick Brown on Twitter.


From the release:“Utah Hockey Club also welcomes former NHL player Tyson Nash as a UtahHC+ personality and analyst … he will host alt-casts throughout the season and serve as a guest analyst during select pre- and post-game shows.”Congrats, Tyson!

Purchased the Utah hc+. Looking forward to it
