LA Clippers, Prime Ticket announce extended long-time partnership agreement
The L.A. Clippers and FOX Sports Prime Ticket today announced an exclusive multi-year broadcast rights agreement between the team and the regional sports network, pending league approval. The terms of the agreement were not announced.
Prime Ticket will broadcast all regular season games not selected by a national broadcaster for exclusive telecast, first-round post-season Clippers games, plus selected pre-season games. All games televised by Prime Ticket will again be made available for streaming on FOX Sports GO to customers with a pay-TV subscription.
Further, the Clippers announced that the team will be conducting in-market tests for new, innovative digital offerings on a trial basis to a targeted number of fans.
"We are pleased to extend our partnership with the Los Angeles Clippers," said Henry Ford, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Prime Ticket/FOX Sports San Diego/FOX Sports West. "The Clippers are a world-class organization on and off the court, and we look forward to continuing our relationship."
"It is exciting for us to continue our relationship with FOX Sports Prime Ticket," Clippers President of Business Operations Gillian Zucker said. "Our new partnership provides us the ability to pursue Steve Ballmer's vision of developing revolutionary digital products, while continuing to supply our fans with the comprehensive Clippers coverage and distribution FOX Sports Prime Ticket has provided for over 20 years."
The 2016-17 season will mark Prime Ticket's 21st season as regional telecast partner and eighth season as the sole television home for the Clippers. In addition to coverage throughout Southern California, Nevada and Hawaii, all Clippers games will again be available to fans located in the San Diego market on FOX Sports San Diego.
