圣路易斯蓝调队宣布10场周四比赛免费无线转播
圣路易斯蓝调队与 Gray Media于10月12日宣布多年期合作协议：蓝调队10场精选比赛将通过"周四蓝调"套餐，在圣路易斯 First Alert ABC（32频道）及球队五州转播区内另外10个 Gray Media市场同步无线转播，首场为10月22日晚7点主场对阵维加斯。这是双方合作的第三年，也是 Gray新收购的 ABC 32 台首次加入。
协议覆盖球队转播区内超过480万电视家庭，观众可通过天线及有线、卫星和流媒体平台免费收看。蓝调队商务运营总裁兼首席执行官克里斯·齐默尔曼表示，球队打造 Blue Note+发行策略的首要目标是让球迷以自己喜欢的方式观看比赛；Gray不断扩大的附属台网络是连接球迷的重要渠道。与去年相比，球队今年提供的无线转播场次翻了一番。已公布场次还包括11月6日客场对新泽西、11月19日客场对匹兹堡、12月17日客场对波士顿等。
Blues to Offer Free Over-the-Air Broadcasts for 10 Thursday Games
The St. Louis Blues and Gray Media announced a multi-year agreement on October 12: 10 select Blues games will be carried over the air through the 'Blues Thursday' package on St. Louis's First Alert ABC (Channel 32) and 10 additional Gray Media markets across the team's five-state broadcast territory, starting with the October 22 home game against Vegas at 7 p.m. It is the third year of the partnership, and the first in which Gray's newly acquired ABC 32 station takes part.
The agreement covers more than 4.8 million television households in the team's territory, with games available free via antenna as well as cable, satellite and streaming platforms. Chris Zimmerman, the Blues' president and CEO of business operations, said the top goal of the team's Blue Note+ distribution strategy is letting fans watch games the way they prefer, and that Gray's growing affiliate network is an important channel for reaching fans. The team has doubled its over-the-air offerings compared with last year. Other announced dates include November 6 at New Jersey, November 19 at Pittsburgh and December 17 at Boston.
