Mavericks announce further broadcast details, including which providers will carry games

The Mavericks told The Dallas Morning News that another key puzzle piece for viewers — a streaming app — will be announced as soon as early next week.

As announced on Sept. 6, WFAA-TV (Channel 8) and its parent-company, TEGNA, have a multi-year agreement to broadcast most Mavericks games — at least 70 this season — ending four decades of games airing regionally on Bally Sports Southwest and its previous iterations.

All 70-or-more games that are not scheduled to exclusively air nationally will broadcast over the air locally on TEGNA’s KFAA (Channel 29), formerly known as KMPX, a Spanish-content station.

Beginning Sunday, Channel 29 will launch new programming. Of the 70 or more games that will air on Channel 29 and 13 stations around Texas and Shreveport, La., at least 15 of the games will simulcast on WFAA (Channel 8).

For weeks, local fans have wondered whether their cable, satellite or streaming service will carry the new Channel 29. The Mavericks say Channel 29 will be available through these providers:
AT&T U-verse TV; Charter Spectrum; DIRECTV; DISH; Frontier Fiber Keller; Fubo; GEUS; Grande Communications; OneSource Communications; and Optimum.

Fans who do not subscribe to any of those providers can still access Channel 29 with the use of a digital antenna, a one-time purchase that typically costs $25 to $55.

Fans’ remaining option will be the Mavericks’ soon-to-be-announced streaming service/app. It’s unclear whether the app will be similar to the free Victory+ app launched this season by the Dallas Stars.
