The Utah Jazz are making their game broadcasts available over-the-air starting this coming season, becoming the latest franchise to pivot to a new option for fans and potentially reaching more viewers than ever before. The Jazz unveiled their plan Tuesday, with owner Ryan Smith announcing the launch of his new production company called SEG Media. Its platforms will allow Jazz fans with a basic antenna to watch all games that aren’t televised nationally, and will also feature a paid subscription-based streaming service that will also feature unique team content.

    I’m really excited to see more OTA offerings coming to not just the NBA but sports overall. I don’t care if we get more ads to pay for it tbh.

    Such a great move, glad the Suns are doing the same. More eyes means more fans and more merchandise sales, more people who want to come to the games, and they get ad revenue too. It was a dumb move to move to the regional model they were using before

    Hopefully the pricing is reasonable.

    Also, the success of this will largely ride on if they release native apps for Roku, Google TV, Fire TV, etc. Don’t make me run an HDMI cable across the room to a laptop.
