About This Page: This is a discussion on NHL Talk within the LetsGoKings.com forums, at Los Angeles Kings Hockey Fan Forum. Chicago Blackhawks - News: Blackhawks Announce All Games To Be Televised - 04/01/2008

"In conjunction with their current agreement with Comcast SportsNet, the Blackhawks today announced a 3-year agreement with WGN Television that, along with the National Hockey League's network partners, VERSUS and NBC, will air all Blackhawks games – both home and away – for the next three seasons."
"Our fans want to be able to follow our team on a consistent basis from opening night through the playoffs," said Blackhawks Chairman W. Rockwell "Rocky" Wirtz. "That's why we are taking this step forward. Bringing Chicago Blackhawks hockey to our fans on both cable and free television will help us to continue the momentum and enthusiasm we have established this year. The combination of Comcast SportsNet and WGN-TV will give the Blackhawks two vehicles to expose both our young players and our seasoned veterans."
"WGN Television has committed to televising up to 20 games per season in HD. Comcast SportsNet will televise the remaining games in HD, less those chosen by the national television networks.
WGN Television had been the home of the Blackhawks during the 1960's and early 1970's. In fact, the last time the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup, WGN-TV televised the clinching game back on April 16, 1961.
For the first time in history, the Chicago Blackhawks will televise their entire 82-game regular season schedule and playoff games on both cable and free television.

does anyone know the exact rules about broadcasting games in other teams markets? I get WGN but live in another team's market, so will I not be able to get any hawks games, or will I only be blacked out when the local team is playing?

different sport. I fairly positive regional channels are blacked out in the NHL whether the local team plays or not, but I think WGN is considered a national channel so would that mean they black us out? verses and NBC aren't of course but they have a contract to be the national channel of the nhl

Rocky has turned that franchise aroud in a hurry. I had the pleasure of watching Tony Espo being honored in Chicago last month on CI. The future of the Blackhawks is indeed bright.
