Pittsburgh Penguins[]
In 2016, Sunbeam Television obtained rights to broadcast Pittsburgh Penguins games over-the-air. As such, WSTP started broadcasting Penguins games. This proved to be a huge draw for WSTP during the February sweeps period, and WSTP's Penguins broadcasts were the number one sports telecasts in the local Nielsen ratings.
