Regional Broadcasts Set for St. Louis Blues
The National Hockey League announced that it will produce regional telecasts for the St. Louis Blues throughout the upcoming season, giving the franchise full oversight of the broadcast process while the league simultaneously develops a next‑generation multimedia platform.
All 70 games that will not receive national coverage will be handled by the NHL, which will supply studio programming, cutting‑edge graphics, replay functionality and comprehensive technical support. The league says the arrangement is designed to elevate the viewing experience and to create a unified production pipeline.
Fans located outside the St. Louis market will be able to watch the games live through the NHL Power Play service on ESPN+, which will carry the broadcasts across a range of digital platforms. The league is also in the final stages of negotiating distribution deals with additional streaming services to ensure broad accessibility.
The Blues have enjoyed a streak of success in the ratings arena, ranking among the top five local broadcast audiences of the 25 U.S.-based franchises for the thirteenth consecutive year. This consistent performance provided the backdrop for the league’s decision to take a more hands‑on approach to production.
Official statements detailing the broadcast schedule and partnership terms are slated for release in the weeks leading up to the season, giving viewers a clear picture of where and how they can follow the team.
