FLM – Former Iowa standout Caitlin Clark is getting the Indiana Fever some more screen time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Twelve television markets will aid in broadcasting 17 of Indiana\u2019s games for free this season, allowing fans to get a better glimpse at Clark, the No. 1 overall pick in this year\u2019s WNBA draft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WTHR in Indianapolis was originally set to air Fever games, but now it will be getting some help from 11 more stations across five states. Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Iowa and Kentucky will each have at least one station showing Clark and teammates take the court this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the expanded coverage, Fever games will have the chance to reach 4.6 million homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is a pivotal moment for our Fever team and women\u2019s basketball, more broadly, and this groundbreaking partnership with TEGNA (a broadcast and digital media company) will ensure more fans than ever will be able to watch this historic season,\u201d Pacers Sports and Entertainment chief executive officer Rick Fuson said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next Tuesday marks Indiana\u2019s season opener, and the first broadcast of this expanded coverage will occur two days later when they take on the visiting New York Liberty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe could not be more excited to make these exciting WNBA games available to more fans, in more homes, across more markets, including Caitlin Clark\u2019s home state of Iowa,\u201d TEGNA senior vice president of media operations Brad Ramsey said in a statement. \u201cWe are grateful to the Pacers organization, the WNBA and our broadcast partners for their trust, and for helping us create a first-of-its-kind fan experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clark, 22, scored 3,951 points during her time with the Hawkeyes (2020-24) to become the all-time leading scorer in NCAA history for both men\u2019s and women\u2019s basketball. She was a two-time National Player of the Year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
