MIDLAND, Mich. - In partnership with Gray Media-owned WNEM-TV (CBS), the Great Lakes Loons have entered into a broadcast agreement that will air 15 games during the 2025 season on WNEM TV-5 and WNEM+. The first games to air will be the Loons Opening Weekend series April 4-6 against the Lake County Captains. Those games will air on WNEM+. The first game to air on primary WNEM TV-5 will be Sunday, April 20 against the Dayton Dragons.

"We're excited we were able to get this done ahead of Opening Day and to have Loons baseball even more accessible to fans across the region," Loons President and General Manager Chris Mundhenk said. "WNEM is one of our long-standing partners going back to when the team came to town. To bring this idea to fruition with them is something we're all really proud of and we can't wait for fans to tune in."

The television broadcast via MiLB.TV will take the air five minutes before the scheduled first pitch, either at the top or bottom of the hour.
