The Scripps-owned network has been sniffing around for a sports deal, and now they have one: the WNBA.

The network will air games on Friday nights from late May to early September. Some games will only be made available on a regional basis.

I give this a better chance than the LIV Golf arrangement with the CW. It will probably depend on whether the recent bump in ratings for this year's women's NCAA basketball tournament translates into increased interest in the fully paid league.
