WXYZ DETROIT — “Detroit — it was true excitement here at WXYZ and WMYD. With the power of our stations and Scripps Sports, Metro Detroit will once again be able to watch Detroit Pistons basketball — free, over‑the‑air — on TV20 Detroit.
Pistons’ basketball is a huge part of Detroit, our history and our future. And this partnership makes sure that connection stays stronger than ever.
Brian Lawlor, President of Scripps Sports said: “Over‑the‑air broadcasting has proven to be one of the most powerful ways to connect sports teams with their fans. The best team in the East deserves the best broadcast platform in the NBA."
"A really proud day for our organization. Every household in Detroit community and beyond can watch every game, we are locally producing 65-70 a year."

"More than two decades since the last time that a kid or family can flip on the tv and watch the team we are bringing back Detroit basketball to Detroiters and Michiganders and that to me is the perfect joy."
- Melanie Harris
President, Business Operations, Detroit Pistons
