Liberty sign local media rights deal with WNYW

The N.Y. Liberty agreed to a new media rights deal with WNYW-Fox to "broadcast its games over the air locally for the 2024 season." The Liberty's new rights deal will have its "local broadcasts split between" WNYW and its sister station WWOR-TV in the N.Y. market. The deal will allow the team to "reach 7.5 million households across New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut." Games will also be streamed "on the Fox Local App" (THE ATHLETIC, 3/12). Liberty games previously aired on YES Network, and this move "avoids conflicts with the Yankees' season, which would sometimes move games to the YES App" (SI, 3/12).
