Nov 12, 2024The AHL’s Cleveland Monsters, top affiliate of the NHL’s Columbus Blue Jackets, announced Tuesday the team’s full television broadcast schedule for the 2024-25 American Hockey League season on Rock Entertainment Sports Network (RESN) and CW 43 WUAB. This season, the Monsters are producing double the amount of telecasts compared to last season, airing 22 regular-season home games from November 2nd to April 12th, live from Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, with eight games simulcast on CW 43 WUAB.
Returning for his tenth season as ‘Voice of the Monsters’ is veteran play-by-play broadcaster Tony Brown, recipient of the 2020-21 James H. Ellery Memorial Award for outstanding media coverage of the AHL. Providing color commentary on telecasts again this season will be Monsters Sr. VP of Operations/Team Services and the IHL’s all-time leading scorer, a Stanley Cup Champion and Cleveland Hockey Legend, Jock Callander, along with former Monsters goaltender and Columbus Blue Jackets Goaltending Development Coach Brad Thiessen. This season’s TV schedule features 14 of the team’s 16 opponents and in addition to 16 prime-time games, the Monsters will also air six weekend matinee games with start times ranging from Noon-5:00 pm.
“Rock Entertainment Sports Network marks the start of a new era for Monsters broadcasts,” said Monsters President Mike Ostrowski on Tuesday. “We’ve doubled the amount of games we put on the air, and thanks to our incredible partnership with Gray Media and CW 43 WUAB, our potential audience has grown to the extent that hockey fans across Ohio will have every opportunity to follow the team this year.” The Monsters’ 2024-25 television schedule is listed below.
