across the Southeast the opportunity to experience Dream games from
their homes than ever before. The 2024 WNBA season spans May –
September, and the Dream will tip off this season against the Los
Angeles Sparks in LA on May 15.
Through the Gray partnership, Dream games will be available
across the Atlanta market on Peachtree TV’s free over-the-air
broadcasts along with its carriage on all major cable and satellite

Atlanta Dream into even more households across our state and the
Southeast region,” said Dream President and Chief Operating Officer
Morgan Shaw Parker. “We believe that 2024 is going to be the most
exciting season yet for the Dream. The atmosphere inside our arena
is the best in the WNBA, and we are excited to have a television
partner who can help us bring that experience to an even bigger
audience.”
Peachtree TV has served the Atlanta market since 1967, making it
one of the longest running stations in the region. Peachtree Sports
Network launched in October 2023 and focuses on live, local sports
programming all year long.
