Rock Entertainment Sports Network is a joint venture between Rock Entertainment Group and Gray Media, and is dedicated to airing live and original programming centered on Ohio sports.

• The network features games from the American Hockey League's Cleveland Monsters, the NBA G League's Cleveland Charge, the Frontier League's Lake Erie Crushers, select college football, and extensive coverage of Ohio high school sports.
• Rock Entertainment Sports Network also produces original content related to these teams and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Rock Entertainment Sports Network is available free over-the-air on channel 22.1 in Cleveland, and carried statewide—including Spectrum cable on Channel 979 across Northeast Ohio. Coverage is expanding to include additional regions such as Columbus (channel 17.1 WDEM) and Cincinnati, ensuring widespread accessibility for Ohio sports fans.

To confirm if Rock Entertainment Sports Network is available in your specific area, visit the channel finder below, enter your zip code, and select their cable provider to determine the channel number available to them. This ensures easy access to Ohio’s nonstop local sports wherever you live.

WUAB is transmitted on a high-VHF frequency. That means one of those square UHF antennas won’t pick the station up. An outdoor VHF antenna will work best, however, if you do not currently own or prefer not to mount a big antenna to your roof, we recommend using an indoor rabbit ears antenna.

These antennas are widely available for purchase via Amazon, Best Buy and other retailers. Installation and setup is simple and requires three steps:

• Push menu or input on your TV remote
• Go to Channel or TV setup
• Select scan or auto-scan or similar

NOTE: The indoor rabbit ears antenna should be placed in the highest window in your house that faces South and then rescan your TV.

Rock Entertainment Sports Network provides year-round live broadcasts and coverage of local professional, collegiate, and high school sports, giving Ohio residents continuous access to games, highlights, and sports-related programming.

Over 65 live broadcasts have been aired since August 2024, including regular-season games, special events, and promotional nights.

During the 2024-25 season, Rock Entertainment Sports Network aired 22 regular-season Cleveland Monsters home games live from Rocket Arena. This expanded schedule doubled the amount of games compared to the previous season and includes a mix of prime-time and weekend matinee broadcasts, ensuring fans had more opportunities than ever to watch their team in action on Rock Entertainment Sports Network.

While the number of games has not been determined yet for the 2025-26 season, we anticipate to have a similar amount of games available this season as well. Stay tuned for more information soon.

During the 2024-25 season, Rock Entertainment Sports Network broadcast 14 Cleveland Charge games live across Northeast Ohio, including select home and road matchups. Five of those games were also simulcast on CW 43 WUAB. The expanded TV schedule ensured that fans had more opportunities than ever to catch the Charge in action on Rock Entertainment Sports Network.

While the number of games has not been determined yet for the 2025-26 season, we anticipate to have a similar amount of games available that will be announced shortly after the Charge regular season is announced in the next few months. Stay tuned for more information soon.

It has not been determined how many Cleveland Cavaliers games will be available on Rock Entertainment Sports Network for the 2025-26 season. Previous seasons featured select games simulcast over-the-air on channel 22.1 in Cleveland and CW 43 WUAB, but broadcast details for the upcoming season have not yet been announced.
