Miami Heat's TV rights have shifted to WPLG-10, marking a significant change in the team's broadcast strategy. The move is expected to boost local reach and provide fans with more opportunities to watch Heat games. According to reports, the telecasts will sound similar to FanDuel Sun's, with Eric Reid and John Crotty on the call. However, some ancillary programming will change, with WPLG avoiding preemption of popular shows like 'Wheel of Fortune' and 'Jeopardy.' The station will carry a full half-hour postgame show, featuring coach Erik Spoelstra's comments, if the game doesn't run long. If the game runs longer than usual, the postgame show will be shorter. Homes in South Palm Beach county can watch the games on Channel 10, but fans north of the Broward County line will not be able to access the games on WPLG's app, WPLG Plus Platinum. The Heat is expected to add a TV affiliate in West Palm Beach and potentially Naples, covering the remainder of the broadcast territory. Every Smart television has the capacity to display the station's new app, except Vizio. Fans with Vizio TVs will have several options, including buying a new TV, using a media streaming device, or switching to a provider that still carries WPLG. The Heat's TV rights fee will drop, which is inevitable for the dozen teams leaving the soon-to-be-shuttered FanDuel networks. The new rights fee is undisclosed but is believed to be well above $10 million in a one-year deal. The Heat's decision to put its entire package on an over-the-air station was influenced by the success of the dozen games that were simulcast last season on WPLG, which averaged more than twice the audience of Heat games that aired only on FanDuel. The Heat would like to retain the association with WPLG past next season, but the NBA may offer a centralized streaming platform for all teams beginning in 2027-28.
