TEGNA and Houston Comets Announce Multi-Year Local Broadcast Partnership on KHOU and KTBU

TEGNA and the Houston Comets have announced a multi-year partnership making KHOU and KTBU the local broadcast home of the Comets. Beginning with the team's 2027 season, locally available Comets games will air free over the air on KTBU (channel 55), with select games simulcast on KHOU, TEGNA's CBS affiliate in Houston. The games will also be simulcast on Space City Home Network, the team's regional sports network, and on SCHN+, its direct-to-consumer streaming service.

KHOU is a founding marketing partner for the team and will create exclusive Comets content year-round across its newscasts, 24/7 streaming channel and digital platforms. KHOU and TEGNA will also play a role in advertising and sponsorship sales for the team's broadcasts on the stations.

The Comets were one of the WNBA's original eight franchises and won the league's first four championships. The WNBA plans to expand to 18 teams by 2030.

The Comets' return to Houston is a big moment for the city, and we're proud to be part of it, says Brad Ramsey, SVP and Head of Sports Rights, TEGNA. This partnership expands our WNBA footprint and lets us connect the team with the community, bringing fans closer to the Comets on and off the court, all year.

Bringing the Comets back to Houston is about reigniting the passion, pride and energy that have always connected this organization with its fans and community, says Gretchen Sheirr, President of Business Operations, Houston Rockets and Comets. As the WNBA continues to reach new heights, we're thrilled to partner with TEGNA to make Comets basketball more accessible to fans across the Houston area through free, over-the-air broadcasts on KTBU and additional coverage on KHOU. We're excited to bring fans closer to the action and deliver outstanding coverage as we begin this exciting new chapter in Comets history.

KHOU has covered Houston sports for decades, and the Comets' homecoming is a story we've been waiting to tell, says David Loving, President and General Manager, KHOU. As a founding partner, we're ready to bring Comets action to fans across the region.
