Oct 10, 2024DES MOINES, Iowa – The Iowa Wild in partnership with AHLTV on FloSports, KXnO, and Mediacom, today announced the broadcast schedule for the 2024-25 American Hockey League (AHL) season.
The Wild are bringing back a full-scale broadcast production for all 36 AHLTV home broadcasts this season. The broadcast is highlighted by pre-game, intermission and post-game show platforms to be hosted by former WOI-TV Sports Director, Jon Schaeffer. Broadcasts feature exclusive player content and in-depth game analysis between Schaeffer and Iowa Wild play-by-play broadcaster, Ben Gislason.
For the 12th consecutive season, KXnO will be the home of Iowa Wild hockey in Des Moines, broadcasting a minimum of 60 regular season games live on the station in their entirety. All Iowa Wild games this season will be streamed live on iHeartRadio’s website and app. KXnO has served as the Wild’s flagship station since the team’s inaugural season in Des Moines in 2013.
"Having spent over 12 years delivering great hockey action to Des Moines on KXnO and the iHeartRadio app, we are looking forward to continuing our broadcasting relationship with the Iowa Wild this year," said Scot Knock, Senior Account Executive at iHeartMedia.
“Hockey Gone Wild” will also return to KXnO. The monthly hockey talk show will air seven times throughout the season, running from 6-7 p.m. The show features player and coach interviews, features on Wild players, in-depth hockey talk and more.
Select Iowa Wild games will be broadcasted on MC22 again this season. Over the past 11 seasons, the Wild have partnered with Mediacom to bring hockey to televisions across central Iowa. MC22 will broadcast 14 Wild home games during the 2024-25 season.
