JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – At least four Jacksonville Sharks games will be aired on CW17 this season, beginning with the home opener on March 25 against the Georgia Firebirds.
“We are excited to be able to produce local broadcasts once again on CW,” operating manager Jeff Bouchy said. “The partnership with the CW allows fans all around Jacksonville to enjoy Sharks games on one of Jacksonville’s premier stations. Most importantly, it also allows unique advertising opportunities for our corporate partners only seen in our broadcasts.”

All home games will be shown at 7 p.m. If the Sharks host a first-round playoff game, it will also be televised on CW17 on June 24. If the Sharks host the NAL Championship Game on July 10, it would also be televised on CW17.
"Having the Sharks on the air for another season is great for fans of the team and fans of our station," said Bob Ellis, WJXT/WCWJ vice president and general manager. "The games are special events you can only see on CW17. Supporting our local teams is what we’re all about."
