Big News for Fans: 8 of Our Games to Air Locally on WTHR & WALV This Season
We’re excited to announce a major step forward in connecting with our incredible fan base—eight of our games this season will be broadcast live locally on WTHR and WALV, bringing the action directly into living rooms across Central Indiana. Whether you’re a die-hard supporter who rarely misses a game or someone who enjoys catching the highlights from home, this partnership means more access, more excitement, and more of the team you love, right at your fingertips.
This broadcasting collaboration with WTHR (Channel 13) and WALV (MeTV Indy) represents a big milestone in our ongoing effort to make our games more accessible to our community. By airing on two of the most well-regarded local stations, we’re ensuring fans can enjoy high-quality, local coverage of some of the biggest matchups on our schedule.
Why This Matters for the Fans
In today’s fast-paced world, not everyone has the time or ability to make it to every game in person. While there’s no substitute for being in the stands—cheering, high-fiving strangers, and soaking in the energy of a live game—watching from home is the next best thing. Now, fans can follow the journey of their favorite team on their own terms. Whether you’re watching from your living room, your phone, or even catching a game from a local bar or restaurant, the experience is about to get better than ever.
WTHR, an NBC affiliate, is known for its award-winning journalism and long-standing reputation in the region. Pair that with WALV’s MeTV programming and strong community presence, and you’ve got two powerful platforms that will help shine a spotlight on what we’re building this season.
The Broadcast Schedule: What to Expect
We’ll be airing a total of eight games on WTHR and WALV, carefully chosen to highlight key moments in the season—from early matchups that set the tone, to mid-season clashes, to late games that may have postseason implications. Here’s a preview of what the broadcast schedule might look like (note: actual dates and opponents to be announced soon):
-
Season Opener – Kick things off with a bang as we open the season in front of a regional audience. There’s nothing like game one.
-
Key Rivalry Matchup – Tune in to one of our most anticipated games of the year, where bragging rights and standings are on the line.
-
Friday Night Lights Feature – A Friday evening prime-time game brings extra energy to an already electric atmosphere.
-
Mid-Season Statement Game – By midseason, we’ll know who’s rising—and this game might just be a playoff preview.
-

Each broadcast will feature professional-level production, high-quality cameras, expert commentary, and behind-the-scenes features that take viewers deeper into the game experience. From player interviews to halftime analysis and post-game wrap-ups, you’ll get a full, immersive experience without needing a ticket.
Expanding Our Reach
The significance of this partnership goes beyond the eight games being aired. It’s part of a broader effort to expand the reach and visibility of our team and players. More games on television means more eyes on the talent, more community engagement, and a stronger connection between the team and its supporters.
Student-athletes, coaches, and staff pour countless hours into training, strategy, and preparation. Being able to showcase their work on a prominent stage is a well-deserved opportunity that brings recognition to their efforts. For many players, this also means more chances to be seen by college scouts, analysts, and sports media figures.
It’s also a great thing for our sponsors and partners. Local businesses who support the team will now enjoy the added benefit of exposure to a broader audience, helping to build community support and stimulate local economic growth.
More Than Just a Game
Our mission has always been about more than just the wins and losses—it’s about bringing people together, building character, and representing our community with pride. Broadcasting our games on WTHR and WALV aligns perfectly with those values.
When fans gather to watch a game, whether at home or in local venues, they create shared moments. A big touchdown, a buzzer-beater, a clutch play—these become memories we carry with us. These shared experiences build bonds between fans of all ages, from the youngest kids cheering in front of the TV to grandparents reliving the glory days.
Television coverage also provides the perfect platform to highlight stories off the field—of perseverance, teamwork, community service, and personal growth. Expect to see short features during broadcasts that shine a light on the human side of the team, including:
-
Player spotlights
-
Coaches’ insights
-
Community outreach initiatives
-
Alumni check-ins
-
Fan celebrations
