The Florida Panthers, the two-time Stanley Cup champions, have signed a new multi-year deal to air their games on local broadcast stations. The Panthers join several other pro sports teams in moving their regular season games to local broadcast TV as the regional sports network model faces challenges with cord-cutting. The terms of the new deal were not disclosed but are likely less lucrative than the Panthers' previous deal, which was reportedly worth $6 million per year. Moving games to broadcast TV significantly increases potential reach since those stations are included in all pay-TV packages and available with an antenna.
