DETROIT -- While the Tigers continue their rebuilding work on the field, they could have a new build-up in store for their broadcast product. Ilitch Holdings acknowledged in a Thursday morning press release that it is exploring the creation of a new regional sports network for the Ilitch-owned Tigers and Red Wings.
The potential move could shake up the Detroit television market while putting the Tigers in the same group as other Major League clubs that have either created or invested in their own television outlet.
The exploratory process will begin immediately, according to the release, but no deadline is set for a decision.
