[edit] History

During preseason games, WKBD produces broadcasts of Detroit Lions games. They also did Detroit Pistons basketball games, until the late 1980s when the Pistons decided to produce and distribute the games itself, with WKBD responsible for showing the games.

The network also formerly produced Detroit Red Wings and Detroit Tigers games. Though as of 2005, FSN Detroit holds the broadcast and production rights to the Red Wings, the Tigers, and most of the Pistons games, while the over-the-air broadcast rights are held by the team under the production name of "Palace Sports and Entertainment," the company that owns the Pistons. The Pistons were the last of them to leave WKBD as starting with the 2004-2005 basketball season, the Pistons awarded the over the air broadcast rights to WMYD, with some games broadcast by WDIV.
