Rock Entertainment Group (REG), the umbrella entity that houses Dan Gilbert’s sports and entertainment properties under the ROCK Family of Companies, and Gray Media, owner of WOIO and WUAB in Cleveland and WXIX in Cincinnati, have reached an agreement to launch Rock Entertainment Sports Network. The parties plan for the new network to start over-the-air on Gray’s television stations in Cleveland and Cincinnati this August, with future over-the-air, multichannel video programming distributors (MVPDs), and streaming components to be announced as the network grows.
Rock Entertainment Sports Network will serve as the home for the American Hockey League 2015-16 Calder Cup Champion Cleveland Monsters, the NBA G League Cleveland Charge, St. Edward High School Varsity Sports (starting with football this fall) and programming from the Frontier League Lake Erie Crushers. The network will be available on ch. 22.1 through free over-the-air broadcasts and the parties intend for it to be available through major cable, satellite and virtual pay TV platforms throughout Ohio.
