“We're gearing up to bring you another thrilling season of Pistons basketball,” said Larry Holm, FanDuel Sports Network’s Vice President of Production overseeing live NBA coverage. “With our seasoned talent and advanced production capabilities, Pistons fans can expect dynamic coverage all season long.”
George Blaha will continue to be the Pistons’ play-by-play announcer on FanDuel Sports Network and Greg Kelser is back as lead analyst. Johnny Kane and Natalie Kerwin will contribute as sideline reporter and pre- and postgame show host alongside Grant Long as an analyst, with front office associate Dwane Casey joining as a contributor for select games.
New this season, pregame and postgame shows will be broadcast directly from the arena’s game floor, offering fans a more immersive and up-close experience before tipoff and after the final buzzer.
“We continue to look for ways to make our game broadcasts more than just a show - they’re an experience,” said Holm. “Upgrading our primary pre- and postgame show location to be down on the floor will capture the sights and sounds of the players and the energy of the arena, bringing our viewers closer to the action than ever before.”
