Peachtree TV, Atlanta’s CW, is launching a statewide sports channel called Peachtree Sports Network. The new channel will host live sports from across the state year-round, including Georgia Swarm home and away games throughout the 2023-24 season.

“Georgia has so many tremendous teams that simply need an audience, and so many sports fans that just need a station where they can watch live events. We’re very excited to be at the very beginning of what will be become a legacy sports tradition across our state,” stated Erik Schrader, WANF and WPCH Vice President and General Manager.

Andy Arlotta, Co-Owner and President of the Swarm emphasized the importance of partnering with a local broadcast giant deeply ingrained in Atlanta’s identity. “We are excited about the opportunity to partner with Peachtree TV once again.

PLL Draft and NBC Sports Network

~ Staff

The NLL gets a lot of shit because of crappy streaming and a television deal that has not yet materialized. However, things could be so much worse.

For example having your television partner NBC Sports Network broadcast your  inaugural college draft at 1 AM ET / 10 PM PT. ( Yes we know the draft is pre-recorded. No stop looking at us for spoilers.)

We ain’t shitting you ( Better hope Game 7 between the Knights and Sharks does not go into overtime. ) For the one or two fans who might be interested in the fledgling Professional Lacrosse League.

So better put a full pot of coffee on. ( We recommend Death Wish Coffee ) If you plan to stay up for the first ever and (maybe the last ? ) PLL college draft.

Lacrosse will never gain mainstream acceptance. If television networks view lacrosse as nothing more than filler programming.
