The Ilitch enterprise announced plans for an exploratory committee to forming a sports network which would be beneficial to all parties. While stressing that a new deal with Fox Sports Detroit could be possible, what would this mean to the Detroit Red Wings?
This would be an unprecedented move as both the Detroit Red Wings and Tigers are in a rebuild. With both stadium/ arena attendance and t.v. Viewer ratings down. One can only believe Ilitch is looking past the current into the future.
No timetable has been given. The current Fox Sports Detroit deal reaches its conclusion in 2021.
