The Jazz's broadcasting production team consider the preseason's work on KJZZ and Jazz+ to be a success — but more is coming when the regular season rolls around: more graphics, more distribution, and more subscribers.
Jazz owner Ryan Smith pushed the team to broadcast their games to a wider audience for the 2023-24 season.Senior vice president of broadcasting Trevor Henderson was working with the Jazz the first time they aired games on KJZZ — he first joined the team in the 1997-98 NBA Finals season.
All-in-all, the average Jazz game will mean producing somewhere around three-and-a-half hours of content, and keeping fans engaged throughout is Henderson’s job. During the regular season, the broadcasting team will add more wrinkles than fans have seen so far. First, they’ll edit the look and feel of the broadcast to the color of the jerseys the Jazz are wearing. If they’re wearing purple, expect purple-themed graphics; if they’re wearing black, white, or yellow, graphics will have those same colors.
The preseason has also been a success from a subscriber point of view. While the team didn’t want to release exact subscriber numbers, a team source said that more Jazz fans had already subscribed to the Jazz+ streaming service than the Clippers have had for their equivalent ClipperVision, even though that service has been operational for over a year.
There’s also hope that distribution will continue to expand on KJZZ. Right now, KJZZ is freely available over-the-air and on traditional cable and satellite packages, but isn’t available on any bundled streaming services like YouTube TV or Hulu. While the negotiations come down to KJZZ owner Sinclair Broadcasting and those services, the Jazz are hopeful that deals will get done.
