AHL Live

AHL Live is Trio Sports Network's and The WB Sport's weekly television broadcasts of American Hockey League regular season games and coverage of playoff games. As part of the partnership with Trio Sports Network, The WB would carry the Sunday Night Hockey, while Trio would carry the Wednesday Night and Friday Night Hockey game (The WB's rival, UPN carries a different Friday Night Hockey game). Also, AHL has a Sunday Matinee coverage of a Sunday afternoon game broadcast on the DuMont Network. Before the establishment of The WB and UPN sports divisions, Trio would carry Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday Night hockey games. As part of the agreement, The WB and Trio Sports would be carrying the Calder Cup Playoffs.
== Coverage Overview ==
Trio Sports would carry weekly regular season games on Sundays (between NFL and baseball seasons), Wednesdays, and Fridays, and were titled Sunday/Wednesday/Friday Night Hockey. Sunday Night Hockey would be on The WB (following the NFL season. Until then, the game would be on Trio), while Trio would have the Wednesday and Friday Night Hockey game. UPN carries a different Friday Night Hockey game, but it's not produced by Trio. Trio is permitted two exclusive telecasts per team per season. Meanwhile, Trio would also produce DuMont's Sunday Matinee game.
During the Calder Cup playoffs, Trio and The WB provided almost nightly coverage, often carrying games on both channels simultaneously. Games in the first two rounds were non-exclusive, while telecasts in the Conference Finals and Finals were exclusive. The WB would be covering the Western Conference Finals, while Trio and DuMont would be covering the Eastern Conference Finals. Trio would air games 1-3 of the Calder Cup Finals, while DuMont will air games 4-7 of the Calder Cup Finals).
