Vegas Golden Knights New TV Home Launches Today – Vegas 34

Author Shawn Tempesta
You'll catch every slapshot without taking a slap to your checking account.

Gone are the days of having to pay for a pricey cable subscription to see the Vegas Golden Knights! No more paying for a bundle, and spending a bundle! As we told you ages ago, the Knights are headed to free, over the air TV! And you can watch them starting now on Vegas 34.

E.W. Scripps Company, the corporate daddy of 13 Action News, announced they got the rights to the Knights games earlier this year. There’s no cable subscription. No special package. Get some bunny ears and tune into 34.1. You’ll be watching the games in crystal clear HD – for free! Oh, and they’ll show Henderson Silver Knights games as well! Nice!

Wait, the Vegas Golden Knights TV station needs an antenna? Lame.

For whatever reason, a generation of television watchers have grown accustomed to having to pay for TV. Whether it is a cable service or streaming, paying up to watch is assumed at this point. But believe it or not “over the air” antenna TV isn’t just decent, it’s often clearer than you’d get on paid service!

A quick visit to AntennaWeb.org will show you what channels you’ll be able to receive over the air. You’ll find that you’re often able to get over 100 channels! That includes the main channels you’re accustomed to (NBC, ABC, CBS and FOX) and specialty subchannels that offer up game shows, reruns and foreign language programming.

Simply throw in your address and see what programming is available to you. Then buy yourself an HD antenna. You can get an indoor antenna that will be decent. You can also replace your old dish with an antenna and pick up a far stronger signal.

Then you’re done. No blackouts while DirecTV and 8 News Now squabble. No having to call and order a specific package at an eye-watering price. Just sit back and watch for free. It feels like stealing.

It will be on cable as well, if you’re a masochist.

But what if I want to stream the games?

Sure it is 2023, and streaming is necessary nowadays. Thankfully Scripps Sports has announced they will have a streaming service available for purchase. Of course there are ways around this (like adding this to this) but that’s another article for another day.

Vegas Golden Knights Parade Electrifies Las Vegas Strip

On Saturday, a sea of people twinkling gold, silver and black overtook the Las Vegas Strip in celebration of the Golden Knights’ Stanley Cup Parade.

Over 100,000 people squished in the narrow streets of Las Vegas Boulevard with Toshiba Plaza reaching capacity before the parade even started.

It was a true celebration done with Las Vegas fanfare with some of the players getting noticeably inebriated during the parade.

We even got a treat from William Karlsson, who delivered one of the best drunk speeches of all time. It made no sense, yet the message was clear: They did it for the city, and they brought home the team’s first-ever Stanley Cup.

Someone involved with the team tried to snatch the microphone from him a few times amid the post-parade rally, but they were unsuccessful. Finally, someone was able to quell his slurred speech of fiery happiness by confiscating the microphone.

During the parade, the busses of players, coaches, and family members crept past the eager crowd. People and players who were in the parade could be seen pouring shaken beers across the cacophony of people, allowing the gold liquid to explode among the crowd.

The Las Vegas Strip became packed to the brim with people, many of who were wearing their shiniest and brightest VGK gear. The buzzing chant of “GO KNIGHTS GO,” could be heard throughout the parade route.

After the parade, the party continued in Toshiba Plaza. It was equally as chaotic and celebratory with the entire team displayed among the fortress stage.

Music blared, people cheered and the energy was colorful with celebration. People from Las Vegas and across the country were enjoying the few hours of the Vegas Golden Knights Parade and essentially party. The Strip was shut down and within those few hours, the city felt connected and together.

Bruce Cassidy spoke humble words saying that it was an honor to coach the team. Mark Stone’s speech was filled with the emotional ups and downs that came with this win. Other players drunkenly gushed about how good winning the Cup felt while also thanking the fans.

As the streamers, confetti and lights flashed across Toshiba Plaza, this scene was an emblem of the true meaning behind this win: From the ashes of darkness, light and greatness will rise.

GO. KNIGHTS. GO.
