ATLANTA, Feb. 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The WNBA’s Atlanta Dream has forged a partnership with Gray Television (NYSE:GTN) to broadcast its games during the 2024 season.

The 2024 WNBA season spans May – September, and the Dream will tip off this season against the Los Angeles Sparks in LA on May 15.

Through the Gray partnership, Dream games will be available across the Atlanta market on Peachtree TV’s free over-the-air broadcasts along with its carriage on all major cable and satellite pay-tv systems including Xfinity, Spectrum, DirecTV, and DISH Network.

“We are thrilled to partner with Gray Television to get the Atlanta Dream into even more households across our state and the Southeast region,” said Dream President and Chief Operating Officer Morgan Shaw Parker. “We believe that 2024 is going to be the most exciting season yet for the Dream. The atmosphere inside our arena is the best in the WNBA, and we are excited to have a television partner who can help us bring that experience to an even bigger audience.”

Peachtree TV has served the Atlanta market since 1967, making it one of the longest running stations in the region. Peachtree Sports Network launched in October 2023 and focuses on live, local sports programming all year long.
