The team will now televise 145 games of 162 games. KTVK (3TV), the team's over-the-air flagship station, will again televise 75 games, and FSN Arizona, the cable flagship, will broadcast 70 games, 10 more games than they've offered in past seasons.

Along with key primetime games and the weekly Sunday D-Backs Playin' Hardball show, 3-TV is the place, where our viewers have an opportunity to share the excitement, which is Arizona Diamondbacks baseball."
"The 73 games FSN Arizona will televise represents the most Diamondbacks telecasts we have ever offered in one season, and we are very excited to add more games to our schedule," said FSN Arizona Vice President & General Manager Mike Connelly. "Our attractive package of telecasts, along with Diamondbacks Countdown, the weekly Diamondbacks Insider and nightly Arizona Sports Report, offer our 1.8 million viewers in Arizona and New Mexico comprehensive D-Backs coverage."
