The Detroit Lions Television Network is a network of seven television stations (and one cable/satellite channel) in Michigan and Ohio that broadcast the NFL's Detroit Lions preseason games and related coverage. On May 21, 2015, the Detroit Lions announced a multi-year broadcast partnership with WJBK (Fox 2) and Fox Sports Detroit (now Bally Sports Detroit), where the regional sports network produces the preseason game broadcasts with Fox 2 producing the pre-game and post-game segments. The games air live on Fox 2 and the rest of the Detroit Lions Television Network, with re-airings on Bally Sports Detroit.[1] Most of the stations are affiliates of the Fox network, which airs a majority of Lions regular season games.
The wraparound shows' hosts are Fox 2 sports director and Lions radio announcer Dan Miller, former Lions wide receiver Herman Moore, and Fox 2 sports anchors/reporters Jennifer Hammond and Woody Woodriffe. The game announcers are Brandon Gaudin with play-by-play, Herman Moore with color commentary, and Dannie Rodgers with sideline reports.[2] The network also airs the weekly newsmagazine show Inside the Pride which is broadcast at various times on each affiliate.[3]
