Dallas Wings Partners with TEGNA’s KFAA for Broadcast Rights Agreement
14 February 2025 - 12:00AM
The Dallas Wings and TEGNA’s (NYSE: TGNA) KFAA in Dallas have
announced a landmark broadcast rights agreement, making the station
the exclusive local television partner of the Dallas Wings.
In 2025, all Wings games not designated for national television
will be available for free over-the-air in the local Dallas-Fort
Worth area on KFAA (Ch. 29), with the possibility of select games
airing on WFAA (Ch. 8). KFAA and TEGNA will lead local and regional
advertising and sponsorship sales for all local games.
“We are thrilled to announce this groundbreaking broadcast
partnership with KFAA,” Dallas Wings CEO and managing partner Greg
Bibb stated. “Wings games will now be available via local broadcast
to more people than ever before through the tremendous reach of
KFAA. We are appreciative of the investment TEGNA is making in the
Wings and women’s sports and we look forward to partnering with
them to deliver world class live sports programming to fans across
North Texas.”
“The Dallas Wings are the perfect next addition to our growing
roster of sports broadcasts on KFAA,” said Carolyn Mungo, president
and general manager of WFAA/KFAA. “KFAA has become the local
destination for basketball fans, and we couldn’t be more excited to
showcase the Wings and their tenth anniversary season.”
This agreement marks yet another significant milestone for the
Dallas Wings. Prior to the 2024 season, the Wings announced plans
to relocate the team to downtown Dallas and play in a renovated
Dallas Memorial Auditorium while also building a nearby
state-of-the-art practice facility. Additionally, the Wings have
revamped their Front Office, including the hiring of Executive Vice
President of Basketball Operations and General Manager Curt Miller
and Head Coach Chris Koclanes. The Wings also won the Draft Lottery
in November and will have the No. 1 pick in the upcoming 2025 WNBA
Draft.
Fans will be able to watch KFAA (Ch. 29) games through their
cable, satellite, or streaming provider or through an HD antenna.
As of Jan. 22, KFAA is available on the following providers in
Dallas-Fort Worth: AT&T U-verse TV (Ch. 29/1029), Charter
Spectrum (Ch. 29/1291), DIRECTV (Ch. 29), DIRECTV Stream, DISH (Ch.
29), Frontier Fiber (Ch. 29/529), Fubo, GEUS (Ch. 510), Grande
