SportsNet Pittsburgh to broadcast 20 games of Pirates' Double-A affiliate, the Altoona Curve
The Altoona Curve announced that SportsNet Pittsburgh, the television and streaming partner of the Pittsburgh Pirates, will broadcast 20 home games of the Double-A affiliate this season.
The first Curve game to air on SportsNet Pittsburgh will be against the Somerset Patriots, a New York Yankees affiliate, on April 16 at Peoples Natural Gas Field.
“We are so really looking forward to expanding our partnership with SportsNet Pittsburgh to air more Altoona Curve games this season,” Curve general manager Nate Bowen said in a statement. “The tracks to Pittsburgh run through Altoona and this is a perfect way for Pirates fans throughout the area to see the next wave of Pirates stars play in Curve, PA.”
A dozen games will air on SportsNet Pittsburgh, with the other eight on SportsNet Pittsburgh+. Broadcasters Jon Mozes and Preston Shoemaker will call the action and will be joined by former Pirates for select games throughout the schedule, which is subject to change.
