Wild 2012-13 TV schedule announced
Posted by: Michael Russo under Wild off-season news Updated: August 30, 2012 - 11:06 AM
This is very subject to change because if an NHL lockout causes a shortened season, the entire schedule will likely be altered.
But NBC Sports, Fox Sports North and the NHL announced the Wild's 2012-13 TV schedule this morning.
(If you didn't see the previous blog, check out the comments from Zach Parise and Keith Ballard about a potential lockout. Also, a reminder, I'll be at the Star Tribune booth with Wild coach Mike Yeo at 4 p.m. today for a Q and A with fans. Please join).
The Wild will be on national TV 10 times -- the same as last year.
The Wild will be on the NBC Sports Network on Oct. 29 vs. Washington, Nov. 26 at Pittsburgh, Nov. 28 vs. Chicago, Dec. 12 at St. Louis, Jan. 15 vs. Anaheim, Jan. 17 vs. San Jose, March 12 vs. Phoenix, April 1 at Chicago and April 11 vs. Dallas.
It will be on NBC Feb. 17 vs. Detroit. The Wild will also be on CBC's Hockey Night in Canada once, TSN five times, RDS once and the NHL Network four times, including Nov. 11 for Zach Parise's return to New Jersey.
Fox Sports North will televise 72 games, including eight on the Fox Sports North PLUS station. All games are in HD.
Below is the TV schedule, but first, to answer an oft-asked question, I'm told that Fox Sports North may air "some" Aeros games if there's a lockout as long as it doesn't interfere with scheduled telecasts:
Wild telecasts on Fox Sports North feature new play-by-play announcer Anthony LaPanta and longtime color analyst Mike Greenlay. Tom Hanneman will host Wild Live before and after every game featuring analysis from Tom Chorske, Wes Walz and Kevin Gorg.
