Five Cavaliers games will be simulcast on Rocket Entertainment Sports Network, as well as WUAB TV-43 this season, leading to theories about the next regional television home of the team.
Rock Entertainment Sports Network currently broadcasts games involving the Cleveland Charge, the Cavaliers’ G League affiliate, as well as high school and other sports events.
“The five-game slate will be available for local over-the-air distribution as part of the NBA’s agreement with Main Street Sports Group, formerly Diamond Sports Group, the owner of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio,” wrote Marc Bona of Cleveland.com.
“The games will be available statewide on Rock Entertainment Sports Network. Fans in Northeast Ohio can access channel 979 on Spectrum and over-the-air on channel 22.1, as well as on WUAB Channel 43, which is owned by Gray Media.”
Fans in Columbus and Cincinnati will also be able to tune into the games on 17.1 WDEM and channel 19.3, respectively.
In Cleveland and surrounding areas, Rocket Sports Entertainment Network is available on channel 22.1. Also, on Spectrum in Northeast Ohio, RESN is Channel 979.
