NHL still expects more clarity on Texas expansion by December

The NHL still expects to know more by December, commissioner Gary Bettman said. He said there is no rigid timetable or “magic date” for a decision.

Report: Apple TV planned 14 iPhone 18 Pros at Dodger Stadium

  • 01Sports Video Group said Apple went from four iPhone 17 Pro cameras at Fenway Park in 2025 to a plan for 14 iPhone 18 Pro units at Dodger Stadium in 2026, alongside operational needs like remote control, monitoring, shading and reliable ingest.
  • 02Sports Video Group said Apple planned iPhone placements in spots traditional rigs often avoid and that eight feeds would run over a dedicated T-Mobile Private 5G Network, describing the game as a demonstration of private 5G for in-venue live contribution.

67 Red Wings games will air on Detroit SportsNet, streaming runs through MLB App

  • 02Detroit SportsNet says in-market fans can subscribe directly and stream locally televised Red Wings games in the MLB App, while the Red Wings’ NHL.com page notes availability is subject to national exclusivities and terms may apply.
