Seattle Kraken move games to over
SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle Kraken will move their games to an over-the-air broadcaster and have a streaming partnership with Amazon’s Prime Video beginning with the 2024-25 season, the team announced Thursday.
The Kraken will be the first NHL team to have a streaming deal with Prime Video for all non-nationally televised games and will be available to Amazon Prime members in Washington, Oregon and Alaska.
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy has a minority stake in the ownership group of the Kraken.
Seattle will partner with TENGA for the over-the-air component, with most of the broadcasts airing on KONG-TV in Seattle. Some of the games will be on KING, the NBC affiliate in Seattle, with games also broadcast on TENGA-owned stations in Portland, Oregon (KGW), and Spokane, Washington (KREM).
The team said TENGA is working on other over-the-air options for broadcast partners in the three states.
