KQDS FOX21 and Coastal TV Broadcasting Group are proud to announce a new broadcast partnership with the Milwaukee Bucks, bringing Bucks basketball to viewers throughout the Duluth-Superior market during the 2026-27 NBA season.
Under the agreement, KQDS will broadcast Milwaukee Bucks regular-season games that are available for local television distribution, giving basketball fans across the region another way to follow one of the NBA’s premier franchises throughout the season.
Games will be broadcast primarily on KQDS 21.2, the station’s sister channel Antenna TV, with select opportunities for simulcasts on KQDS FOX21 (21.1). Antenna TV is available to viewers over the air and through participating cable providers in the market. The broadcasts will feature the complete Bucks game telecast along with available pregame, halftime and postgame programming.
“We are extremely excited to bring Milwaukee Bucks basketball to viewers across the Duluth-Superior market,” said Tom Baker, Vice President and General Manager of KQDS FOX21. “Live sports continue to bring communities together, and this partnership gives our viewers access to Bucks basketball throughout the season on local broadcast television. It is another example of our commitment to investing in programming that matters to the communities we serve.”
The Bucks’ 2026-27 schedule begins in October and features matchups against teams from across the NBA, including divisional and conference rivals as well as some of the league’s biggest franchises. The regular-season schedule continues through April.
The partnership also creates new opportunities for businesses throughout northeastern Minnesota and northwestern Wisconsin to connect with local sports audiences through advertising surrounding Bucks broadcasts on KQDS.
Additional information, including the KQDS Bucks television schedule, channel availability and select FOX21 simulcasts, will be announced as the season approaches.
