The Columbus Blue Jackets and the NHL are taking a fresh look at how fans will watch games, announcing a new strategy that blends traditional television with expanded streaming options. The plan aims to make games more accessible across devices, offering live broadcasts on cable, a dedicated streaming app, and partnerships with over-the‑air stations to broaden reach. By modernizing its distribution, the league hopes to attract younger viewers and those who prefer digital platforms, while still supporting existing TV contracts. The move reflects a broader industry trend toward flexible, multi‑platform viewing experiences.
