The Portland Trail Blazers have announced that all 82 games will be broadcast in high definition for a second consecutive season, highlighting the 76-game local broadcast schedule that tips off Oct. 26 vs. Phoenix on KGW.
The Trail Blazers will air 60 games on Comcast SportsNet Northwest (CSNNW) and 16 on KGW Northwest NewsChannel 8. All KGW games will also be broadcast throughout Oregon, SW Washington and the Seattle area on the Trail Blazers Television Network.
The six games not included in the local schedule will air exclusively on TNT, ensuring that all 82 games are slated to be televised.
Mike Barrett, an 11-year veteran of the Trail Blazers broadcast team, enters his eighth season handling television play-by-play duties. For the sixth straight season, he will be joined on the broadcast by color analyst Mike Rice, who begins his 21st overall season behind the microphone for the Trail Blazers.
All Trail Blazers preseason and regular season games will be broadcast on KXTG 95.5 FM “The Game” and all other affiliates on the Trail Blazers Radio Network. Play-by-play voice Brian Wheeler (13th season) and analyst Antonio Harvey (sixth season) both return, as does Jay Allen, who will host the pre-game show and provide post-game interviews from the locker room.
