“Building upon our existing long-time relationship with ESPN New York was an inherently seamless fit for MSG Networks as we continue to enhance our programming,” said Kevin Marotta, MSG Networks senior vice president of content and marketing. “Delivering viewers additional opportunities to see and listen to game reactions from ESPN New York shows through the same platform as they are consuming Knicks and Rangers game broadcasts offers great continuity and a convenient extension of the viewing experience.”

Hahn, a Long Island native and Knicks analyst on MSG, said: “We’re all beyond excited to simulcast on MSG Network, which will give our shows an even bigger platform and audience to reach and entertain. Each of us has a personal and unique connection to all of the teams on the network — especially Don and me. That makes this partnership a perfect fit.”

La Greca also serves as the play-by-play announcer for Devils games on MSG.
