Largest Television Broadcast Schedule in Team History
(Hartford, CT) The Hartford Yard Goats Baseball Club, the Double-A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies, announced that NESN (New England Sports Network) will televise 39 games live from Dunkin’ Park this season. This will be the most games that the Yard Goats will appear on regional television as nearly every home series will have multiple games shown on the network. The Yard Goats will be carried on a combination of NESN and NESN+ giving the club tremendous exposure on linear television throughout New England. 28 games are scheduled on NESN+, including Opening Night (April 4th), and 11 games are scheduled on NESN with the first one coming on Sunday, April 6th. (Full Schedule below and games subject to change). NESN is the television home of the Boston Red Sox, Boston Bruins, PWHL Boston Fleet, the Worcester Red Sox (triple-A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox) and hundreds of local college sports each year. NESN is a premiere regional sports network with two 24/7 channels, NESN and NESN+, delivered throughout the six-state New England region and is available to stream via direct subscription or with a TV provider log in on the NESN 360 app.
“We are absolutely thrilled to have so many of our games televised on the NESN platforms,” Yard Goats President Tim Restall said. “NESN is a favorite in so many homes and hospitality venues, and we look forward to continuing our partnership, and the opportunity to have our games available to fans to watch throughout New England.”
The Yard Goats broadcasting team of Jeff Dooley and Dan Lovallo will call the action on NESN for the second straight season, starting with the pregame show which will begin at the top of the hour. Dooley, the voice of the Yard Goats, made his Major League broadcasting debut in 2023 as a fill-in announcer for the Colorado Rockies. Lovallo is a well-known sports and news personality in Connecticut. The two have been broadcasting Hartford Yard Goats games since the inaugural season in 2016.
