The Florida Panthers scored 5 goals in the first period.<\/p>\n<p> (Alie Skowronski\/askowronski@miamiherald.com)<\/p>\n<p>Florida Panthers fans who tried to watch Tuesday night\u2019s game against the Ottawa Senators in South Florida on Comcast were met with disappointment.<\/p>\n<p>Due to a contract dispute, Comcast has dropped coverage of Scripps TV stations, which includes the Panthers\u2019 broadcast channels, and it happened right in the middle of their game against the Senators.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a result, tonight\u2019s Panthers game will not be broadcast on Comcast in Miami Dade, Broward and West Palm Beach,\u201d the Panthers said in a statement posted on social media on Tuesday shortly after the start of the game. \u201cIn those counties, Panthers games can be found over the air, on other cable and satellite providers and on the Panthers Plus app.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you are experiencing this blackout, please contact Comcast at 1-800-934-6489 and ask them to return your Panthers programming.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Panthers moved their local broadcast for games to Scripps Sports from Bally Sports Florida ahead of the 2024-25 season. In Miami-Dade and Broward, those games are on WSFL-Channel 39. The Panthers\u2019 other TV affiliates will be WHDT-9 in Palm Beach\/Treasure Coast and WFTX-Channel 36.3 in Fort Myers\/Naples.<\/p>\n<p>This story may be updated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wed, April 1, 2026 at 1:25 AM UTC Florida Panthers fan celebrate a goal during the first period&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":535067,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5102],"tags":[61488,5207,21027,62,57,61487,5141,5,4,25,63,12335,57572,806,244],"class_list":{"0":"post-535066","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-florida-panthers","8":"tag-broadcast-channels","9":"tag-comcast","10":"tag-contract-dispute","11":"tag-florida","12":"tag-florida-panthers","13":"tag-florida-panthers-fans","14":"tag-floridapanthers","15":"tag-hockey","16":"tag-nhl","17":"tag-ottawa-senators","18":"tag-panthers","19":"tag-panthers-game","20":"tag-panthers-games","21":"tag-south-florida","22":"tag-the-panthers"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116330577410405999","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535066","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=535066"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535066\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/535067"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=535066"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=535066"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=535066"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
