"The Kraken gambled by creating their own TV network. Here’s how it’s paying off"
Quote:
Kraken Hockey Network launched this fall, removing a barrier to entry for potential, frustrated viewers. The NHL’s newest franchise assembled an enviable broadcast team to teach the Seattle market about hockey, but few students were consistently showing up, hindered, at least in part, by rising costs.
So the Kraken organization took a gamble on a more hands-on approach.
“We’re kind of meeting fans where they are,” KHN producer Ryan Schaber said. “The old model of RSNs (regional sports networks) doesn’t necessarily do that anymore. That way of consuming television is rapidly falling by the wayside.”
