==Broadcasters== {{See also|Utah Jazz Radio Network}} Prior to the 1993 season, local station [[KSTU]] was the team's television broadcast partner. After it was purchased by [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]], KSTU's programming schedule no longer had space to carry Jazz games, leaving the team without a broadcast partner. In 1993, Larry H. Miller purchased local TV station KXIV and renamed it to [[KJZZ-TV|KJZZ]], in an effort to create a sports-oriented station to showcase his teams. The new KJZZ station started carrying Jazz games with the 1993β1994 season.<ref name="allthat">{{Cite news |last=Schindler |first=Harold |date=February 25, 1993 |title=Baseball, Hockey, All That Jazz on Miller's Station |pages=A-1, [https://www.newspapers.com/clip/75321853/ A-2] |work=Salt Lake Tribune |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/75321413/baseball-hockey-all-that-jazz-on/ |access-date=April 8, 2021 |archive-date=March 27, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220327044644/https://www.newspapers.com/clip/75321413/baseball-hockey-all-that-jazz-on/ |url-status=live }}</ref> KJZZ continued to carry the team's games until 2009, when the Jazz signed a new exclusive 12-year agreement with then [[FSN Utah]], (now part of [[AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain]]) on October 20, 2009.<ref>{{cite news|last=Siler|first=Ross|title=Jazz sign 12-year agreement with FSN Utah|url=http://www.sltrib.com/sports/ci_13604707|newspaper=[[The Salt Lake Tribune]]|date=October 20, 2009|access-date=October 20, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091022033829/http://www.sltrib.com/sports/ci_13604707|archive-date=October 22, 2009|url-status=dead}}</ref> A one-year extension was signed during the 2020 offseason, and the team continued to air games on AT&T SportsNet into the 2022β23 season.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Larsen|first1=Andy|title=Utah Jazz games will be on AT&T SportsNet again in 2021-22 season|url=https://www.sltrib.com/sports/jazz/2021/07/12/utah-jazz-games-will-be/|access-date=September 28, 2021|work=The Salt Lake Tribune|date=July 12, 2021|archive-date=September 29, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210929010555/https://www.sltrib.com/sports/jazz/2021/07/12/utah-jazz-games-will-be/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Utah Jazz games will remain on AT&T SportsNet next season, as team opens up negotiations with other possible partners |url=https://www.sltrib.com/sports/jazz/2022/08/17/utah-jazz-games-will-remain-att/ |access-date=June 20, 2023 |website=The Salt Lake Tribune |language=en-US |archive-date=June 20, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230620170328/https://www.sltrib.com/sports/jazz/2022/08/17/utah-jazz-games-will-remain-att/ |url-status=live }}</ref> In February 2023, [[Warner Bros.
