ALLCITY's coverage is available today in five markets, with city-specific channels CHGO, DLLS, DNVR, PHLY, and PHNX. These channels collectively provide over 7,500 hours of daily live sports content each year and are already home to the top shows for most teams in their respective markets. Shows will be available live daily on these channels and accompanied by a mix of local sports news, analysis, entertainment, and community-driven programming to provide a 24/7 experience for the local sports fan. With the launch of these streaming talk sports channels, ALLCITY is further positioning its shows as the best and most widely available local sports content.

ALLCITY's expansion comes at a pivotal moment in the evolving landscape of local sports media. While the passion for sports is at an all-time high, fans are consuming content in different ways - they are less likely to read traditional newspapers, listen to the radio or watch legacy regional sports networks, and are shifting to view and listen on digital, social and streaming platforms.
ALLCITY provides high-quality localized content across these new platforms in addition to in-person experiences, ensuring fans are always connected to their favorite teams and their team communities. With this growth and its recent $12 million investment led by TEGNA, the company is poised to capture an even larger share of the burgeoning local sports market.
