The NHL on TNT is a presentation of the National Hockey League (NHL), games produced by Turner Sports, and televised on TNT in the United States.

In 2021, Turner Sports reached a seven-year contract to serve as one of the two rightsholders of the NHL in the United States, alongside ESPN/ABC, and both replacing NBC Sports. TNT will hold rights to "up to" 72 nationally-televised regular-season games[1] per season, the annual NHL Winter Classic game on New Year's Day, half of the Stanley Cup playoffs (with games airing across the ), and alternating rights to Stanley Cup Finals in odd-numbered years (with games being split across the Turner networks.[2] The contract also includes an option for HBO Max to carry and/or simulcast games

Turner Sports has previously aired hockey, as the regional home for the Atlanta Flames and Atlanta Thrashers, and as the cable home for Olympic ice hockey from 1992–1998 for CBS. The co-owned AT&T SportsNet regional sports networks also hold local rights to the Pittsburgh Penguins, Seattle Kraken, and Vegas Golden Knights. However, Turner Sports never had a national contract with the NHL until the current deal was reached.

History[]

Prior to a national contract[]

For a short period in the 1970s, WTCG,[3] the predecessor to TBS, was the television home of the Atlanta Flames. All of the Flames' radio and television broadcasts were simulcasts. The Flames' games were also broadcast on the radio by WSB (AM). Jiggs McDonald[4][5] was the main play-by-play announcer with Skip Caray[6] substituting from 1976–80. Color commentators included Andy Still (1972-73), Bob Neal (1973–74), Ed Thilenius (1974–75; home and televised games only), Bernie Geoffrion (1975–79), and Bobby Harper[7] (1979–80; home games only). Pete Van Wieren[8] also did play-by-play for the Flames. The Flames left Atlanta for Calgary prior to the 1980-81 NHL season.[9]

From 1992–1998, TNT served as the American cable television partner for CBS in its coverage of the Winter Olympic Games. Jiggs McDonald handled the play-by-play for ice hockey at the 1992 and 1994 Olympics with Bill Clement on color commentary in 1992 and Joe Micheletti in 1994. In 1998, Mike "Doc" Emrick[10] provided the play-by-play commentary alongside color commentators Peter McNab, Joe Micheletti, and Digit Murphy.

Turner launched the regional Turner South network in 1999, which carried games of the Atlanta Thrashers, which were owned at that time by Turner parent Time Warner. Matt McConnell was the primary television play-by-play announcer for the Thrashers from 1999–2003 with JP Dellacamera taking over for the rest of the way in Atlanta. Darren Eliot was the television color commentator throughout the Thrashers' entire existence before their 2011 departure to Winnipeg as the Jets. Time Warner sold the Thrashers in 2003, and sold Turner South to Fox Cable Networks in 2006.

When the NHL's media rights were up for renewal in 2011, Turner Sports was reported to have been among the bidders, alongside past NHL rightsholders Fox Sports and ESPN.[11] The NHL ultimately decided to renew its rights with NBC Sports under a 10-year deal, which covered both broadcast television and cable rights due to the recent acquisition of NBC Universal by Comcast (which was the existing cable rightsholder via Versus).[12]

Following AT&T's acquisition of Time Warner in 2018, AT&T SportsNet, a regional sports network system acquired in 2015 as a part of DirecTV, and formerly part of the Fox Sports Networks group, was moved into the WarnerMedia News & Sports division under Jeff Zucker in March 2019, alongside Time Warner's existing national sports unit Turner Sports.[13] AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh, AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain, and Root Sports Northwest (majority owned by the Seattle Mariners) currently serve as the regional outlets for the Pittsburgh Penguins, Vegas Golden Knights, and Seattle Kraken, respectively.[14]

National contract (2021–present)[]

In order to increase the value of its U.S. media rights after the expiration of their ten-year deal with NBC Sports, the NHL pursued having multiple media partners for its next round of media rights deals, including possible deals with streaming services.[15] After announcing on March 10, 2021 that ESPN would hold the first half of the new media rights, on April 27, the NHL announced that a seven-year agreement was reached for Turner Sports to hold the second half of its new media rights beginning in the 2021–22 season;[16][17][18][19][20]

  • Turner Sports will hold rights to up to 72 exclusive national games per-season, which can air on either TNT or TBS.[18] In practice these games have primarily been Wednesday-night doubleheaders, with occasional games also scheduled on weekends.[21]
  • Turner Sports will hold rights to the NHL Winter Classic annually.
  • Turner Sports will share in coverage of the Stanley Cup playoffs with ESPN and ABC, holding rights to "half" of the games in the first two rounds, and one conference final per-season (ESPN will have the first choice of conference finals).
  • Turner Sports will hold rights to the Stanley Cup Finals in odd-numbered years beginning 2023.
  • There is an option for HBO Max to hold over-the-top streaming rights, including simulcasts of TNT's games, and the option for games exclusive to the service. WarnerMedia executives indicated following the contract announcement that they had only just begun to study how the streaming service might be involved, and that they did not plan to air games on HBO Max within the 2021 calendar year.[22]
  • TNT will produce a studio show for its coverage, modeled after Inside the NBA.[23][24][25]
  • Bleacher Report will be able to distribute highlights on digital platforms. The site launched Open Ice, a new content brand focusing on NHL-related content. Online personality and streamer Andrew "Nasher" Telfer was hired as a contributor for the brand.[26][27]

The contract was reported to be valued at $225 million per-season.[28] TNT serves as the main broadcaster of Turner's coverage,[21] although there is the option for games to air on sister network TBS.[16][18] Sister channel TruTV has been used as an overflow channel in the event that the first game in a TNT doubleheader runs long.[29]

On May 26, 2021, Turner announced the hiring of Wayne Gretzky as its lead studio analyst, and that Kenny Albert and Eddie Olczyk would join from NBC to become their lead commentary team.[30][31] Retired basketball player and current TNT Inside the NBA panelist Charles Barkley, who is a friend of Gretzky, convinced him to join Turner.[32] Craig Morgan, an Arizona-based reporter on the Arizona Coyotes and correspondent for the NHL Network, reported that Darren Pang and Keith Jones, color commentators for the St. Louis Blues and Philadelphia Flyers, would will be joining Turner.[33] On June 9, Morgan reported that NBC’s Anson Carter would be doing the same.[34] On June 28, Marchand reported that Islanders play-by-play man Brendan Burke was in talks to join Turner as their #2 play-by-play man.[35] On August 31, it was reported that Liam McHugh would join TNT from NBC.[36]

On September 14, 2021, TNT announced its slate of on-air staff for its inaugural season.[37] Jones, who served as a studio analyst at NBC, would serve as the lead "Inside-the-Glass" reporter, joining Albert and Olczyk on the lead broadcast team.[37][27] Burke[38] and Pang were named as the secondary broadcast team. McHugh and Carter were named to the studio team,[37][34] along with former Coyotes head coach Rick Tocchet[37][39] and veteran Paul Bissonnette, who all joined Gretzky in studio.[37] Hockey Night in Canada’s Jennifer Botterill, and NHL Network’s Jackie Redmond, and Tarik El-Bashir also appear as contributors.[37][27] TNT later added former referee Don Koharski as a rules analyst, and former Blackhawk Jamal Mayers as an extra contributor. On November 23, TNT added retired Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist to its studio panel, starting on the next day's broadcast.[40] On November 30, TNT welcomed former referee Stéphane Auger to their team, as another rules analyst, joining Koharski. He made his debut during the Penguins-Oilers game the next night. On January 13, 2022, TNT added Nabil Karim,[41] formerly of ESPN, to contribute as secondary studio host and reporter for both the NHL[42] and the NBA. Former NBC and current Kraken play-by-play announcer John Forslund was picked up by TNT as a fill-in announcer, whenever Albert or Burke are on assignment. Forslund first filled in for Albert for the Avalanche-Golden Knights game on February 16th, as Albert was working the Olympic women’s hockey gold medal game for NBC about an hour after puck drop.[43][44][45][46] Sharks color commentator Bret Hedican also joined in a fill-in role, joining Forslund in Vancouver on March 9th.

For the 2021-22 season, TNT will air 50 games, primarily on Wednesday nights (with 15 doubleheaders), seven weeks of Sunday afternoon games in March and April 2022, and rights to the Winter Classic, Stadium Series, and Heritage Classic outdoor games.[21] TNT's first broadcasts were a preseason doubleheader on September 30, 2021 between the Boston Bruins and Philadelphia Flyers, and the Vegas Golden Knights and Los Angeles Kings.[47] TNT then aired its first regular season games on October 13, 2021, with a doubleheader between the New York Rangers and Washington Capitals, and the Chicago Blackhawks and Colorado Avalanche.[48] Charles Barkley made a guest appearance during the first intermission, with Gretzky challenging him to a shootout as goalie.[49][50]

Due to conflicts with TNT's first two NHL doubleheaders, AEW Dynamite was pre-empted to Saturday on the weeks of October 13 and 20. From October 27 through December 29, 2021, Dynamite aired as scheduled on Wednesday nights (and, concurrently, began to be broadcast live on both TNT's east and west coast feeds), limiting TNT to a single Wednesday-night NHL game as a lead-out at 10 p.m. ET until January 5, 2022,[51][52] when Dynamite moved to TBS.[21][53]

Production[]

A Turner Sports executive stated that TNT's goal for its coverage was to provide information on-air that would appeal to both mainstream viewers and "diehard fans", including leveraging the NHL's new player and puck tracking system for on-air features and graphics, and high frame rate cameras. The network is also experimenting with an on-ice power play clock graphic, similar to the on-court shot clock graphic used in TNT's NBA coverage.[48] TNT's studio coverage originates from Turner's headquarters in Atlanta, with a set featuring projection mapping effects.[54]
