Columbus Crew SC extend local television contract another season

Columbus Crew SC announced today that the club have extended an agreement with Sinclair Broadcasting Group. The agreement was signed prior to the 2016 season and followed a disastrous television deal that left some fans unable to view matches.

President of Business Operations Andy Loughnane maintained that it was important for Crew SC to find a broadcast partner that made matches readily available for consumers in Central Ohio.

“The ability to broadcast Crew SC matches over-the-air remains an organizational priority and we look forward to continuing this important partnership in 2018,” Loughnane said.

With a new deal in place, the Black & Gold will once again be available over-the-air on the Sinclair Broadcast Group stations in 2018.

Matches will be shown locally in Columbus on ABC 6, The CW Columbus, FOX-28 and MyTV. Broadcast details, including channel assignments and broadcast partners, will be made available at a later date.
