"We are also thrilled to be part of this significant community collaboration that will shine a bright light on the growth and excitement of Atlanta's southside."

The integration between Peachtree TV and the Skyhawks extends beyond the on-air broadcasts and in-arena signage with substantial collaboration and promotion set to take place via digital assets and social media interactions.

"We are thrilled to have the opportunity to launch the College Park Skyhawks brand with such strong local media partners in Peachtree TV and CBS46, two stations committed to excellent local coverage," said Andrew Saltzman, chief revenue officer of the Atlanta Hawks and College Park Skyhawks. "We believe that sports franchises are community assets, and we know that the Skyhawks will have a tremendous impact on the southside and throughout the region."
