Summary
The Miami Heat are ditching FanDuel for WPLG as their new broadcast home this season, bringing back familiar voices Eric Reid and John Crotty—but with major changes: no pregame shows for evening games, a half-hour postgame show (subject to cuts), and a shift in how fans watch. Streaming access is patchy—WPLG is fighting to return to YouTube TV and DirecTV, but Hulu’s likely out, and Visio TV owners in Miami/Broward may need upgrades or antennas to catch games. Financially, the Heat’s TV deal took a brutal hit, dropping from ~$55M/year to possibly just over $10M. While they hope to extend this partnership, the NBA’s potential future streaming platform looms. This move signals a major pivot in sports broadcasting—teams adapting to reach fans amid shifting tech and financial realities.
