IOWA WILD ANNOUNCES 2025-26 AHLTV AND BROADCAST SCHEDULE
Oct 9, 2025DES MOINES, Iowa – The Iowa Wild in partnership with AHLTV on FloSports, KXnO, and Mediacom, today announced the broadcast schedule for the 2025-26 American Hockey League (AHL) season.
The Wild are bringing back a full-scale broadcast production for all 36 AHLTV home broadcasts this season. The broadcast is highlighted by pre-game, intermission and post-game show platforms to be hosted by former WOI-TV Sports Director, Jon Schaeffer. Broadcasts feature exclusive player content and in-depth game analysis between Schaeffer and Iowa Wild play-by-play broadcaster, Ben Gislason.
Iowa Wild alumni Steven Fogarty will also appear as an analyst this season during select games to share a player’s perspective on the action.
KXnO, the Wild’s flagship station since the team’s inaugural season in Des Moines in 2013, has renewed its partnership with the Wild. For the 13th consecutive season, KXnO will be the home of Iowa Wild hockey in Des Moines, broadcasting a minimum of 60 regular season games live on the station in their entirety. All Iowa Wild games this season will be streamed live on iHeartRadio’s website and app.
"We at 106.3 KXnO couldn’t be more thrilled to continue as the flagship station of Iowa Wild hockey," said Sean Roberts, Program Director at KXnO. “The Wild have been a tremendous partner each season and we’re looking forward to another great year.”
“Hockey Gone Wild” will also return to KXnO. The monthly hockey talk show will air seven times throughout the season, running from 6-7 p.m. The show features player and coach interviews, features on Wild players, in-depth hockey talk and more.
Select Iowa Wild games will be broadcasted on MC22 again this season. Over the past 12 seasons, the Wild have partnered with Mediacom to bring hockey to televisions across central Iowa.
Analyst duties will be rotated between former ESPN hockey analyst, Chris Peters, former professional hockey player and Des Moines native, Garrett Cecere, and Fogarty.
