Team announces new show ‘Primetime Panthers’ will air every week on Scripps
Can you smell it? Hockey season is in the air.
We’re just a few short weeks away from the start of Florida Panthers training camp, when the defending Stanley Cup Champions will converge on Fort Lauderdale to begin working on their title defense.
Along with training camp comes the preseason, and the Panthers have a healthy eight-game slate of exhibition games to get them ready for Opening Night against the Boston Bruins on Oct. 8.
A cool new element of the Panthers partnership with Scripps Sports to bring all locally produced Cats game to fans for free on over-the-air channels is that they are also going to carry a few preseason games.
There will be four preseason broadcasts, all coming within a week of one another.
Preseason Broadcast Schedule
Sept. 27 at Carolina Hurricanes
Sept. 28 vs. Carolina Hurricanes
Sept. 30 vs. Tampa Bay Lightning
Oct. 2 at Tampa Bay Lightning
Additionally, the team announced a new weekly show called ‘Primetime Panthers’ that will debut on Oct. 3 and include “hockey features, community stories and more,” according to the Panthers.
The show will air every Wednesday across the Panthers Scripps network of stations.
For viewers in South Florida, Panthers games will be available in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties on WSFL Channel 39, in Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast on WHDT Channel 9 and in Fort Myers on WFTX Channel 36.3.
In addition to the 70 locally produced Panthers games airing on Scripps Sports, Florida will also have 12 games that will be broadcast to a national audience.
