Dallas Stars Pioneer Free Streaming for Local Games

The team partners with A Parent Media Co. to launch Victory+, a direct-to-consumer platform.

The Stars' seven-year deal with APMC ends their association with Bally Sports Southwest.
Victory+ will stream all regional Stars games for free, supported by advertising revenue.
This move makes the Stars the first major U.S. sports franchise to transition from a regional sports network to a free streaming service.
The new platform aims to address fans' frustrations with previous broadcast issues on Bally Sports.
Other teams, including the Texas Rangers and Dallas Mavericks, are closely monitoring the Stars' streaming venture.
