LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. – The Gwinnett Stripers announced today a partnership with Gray Television for a live television broadcast of select games on Peachtree Sports Network for the 2024 season. The station will air the live broadcast of 13 Stripers’ home games, beginning on Friday, June 14.
It is the first over-the-air television broadcast of Gwinnett Stripers baseball since 2014. Peachtree Sports Network is available in Atlanta free over the air on WPCH 17.2, as well as Comcast, Spectrum, and streaming on YouTube TV and Fubo. Peachtree Sports Network is also carried free over the air on Gray-owned stations in Albany (WGCW 36.4), Augusta (WGAT 17.3), Columbus (WCTA 47.3), Macon (WPGA 50.1), and Savannah (WPHJ 19.3), Georgia.
Calling the action will be the Stripers’ play-by-play team of lead broadcaster Dave Lezotte and broadcast assistant Jack Johnson. Lezotte is in his 12th season with the club and fourth as the “voice of the Stripers” on radio and television, while Johnson is in his second season serving as the No. 2 broadcaster.
“We are thrilled to partner with Gray Television to air Stripers baseball on Peachtree Sports Network this season,” Stripers General Manager Erin McCormick said. “This partnership gives us a great opportunity to showcase the future stars of the Atlanta Braves and beautiful Coolray Field to more fans across the Atlanta area and the state of Georgia.”
Launched in October 2023, Peachtree Sports Network brings live, local sports programming to viewers across the Atlanta area, six markets in Georgia, and several markets in Alabama. Two Sunday games are also scheduled to air on WPCH Atlanta’s CW.
