Summary

The Miami Heat have signed a deal with local independent station WPLG (owned by Berkshire Hathaway) to broadcast the team's local games over-the-air starting in the 2026-27 season. This move continues a trend of NBA teams leaving the FanDuel Sports Networks (formerly Bally Sports) in favor of over-the-air broadcasts, making games more accessible to local viewers without cable subscriptions.
