The Detroit Pistons will again partner with Scripps Sports to simulcast five regular-season games over the next four months for free on WMYD-TV (Channel 20), the team announced Thursday.
The Pistons aired five games on TV-20 in April. The upcoming games will also air on FanDuel Sports Network Detroit, the regional sports network that broadcasts most of the team’s games.
The five-game slate will be distributed locally over the air as part of the NBA’s agreement with Diamond Sports Group, the owner of FanDuel Sports Network Detroit. The broadcasts will feature production by FanDuel Sports Network Detroit and include commentary from Michigan Sports Hall of Famer George Blaha, former Pistons standout Greg Kelser and sideline reporters Johnny Kane or Natalie Kerwin.

We appreciate the Pistons working with us last year and coming to us again. It’s a win for their fans.”
