A brand-new NHL market
Utah's first full seasons are happening right now, and the audience is forming its habits now.
Partnerships · 2026–27 Season
Reach Utah hockey fans who actually show up
Utah Rink Rat is an independent hockey show — three shows a week plus a Size-Up before all 84 games, hosted by a regular guest on ESPN 700. Small, loyal, local, and growing with the league's newest market.
Premiering September 14, 2026 · Sandy, Utah

Why this show
Four honest reasons
The show has not launched yet, so there are no audience numbers to quote. Here is what is actually true today.
Six touchpoints a week in season
Monday, Wednesday and Friday, plus a drop before all 84 games — not one episode a week fighting for attention.
A host with credentials
26 years a professional EBUG, 19 years coaching, 10 years hosting a hockey podcast.
Host-read, not programmatic
Your read comes out of the same mouth people tuned in for. Every paid placement is disclosed, every time.
Partnerships · 2026–27

Segment Partner
$1,000per month · 12-month
- One show is yours — named sponsor of Roll Call, The Kitchen Table, or Size-Up. The Ride-Along is reserved for the Presenting Partner.
- Logo on screen the full runtime of your show
- One host read inside your show, written and voiced by Jay
- Logo on your show’s thumbnails and on this site with a link
- Two dedicated social posts a month
- Category exclusive — no competitor at any tier while you’re on
- $12,000 for the year, or $1,250 month to month
No recorded spots, ever. Every read is written and voiced by Jay, inside the show, in his own words. Month to month cancels on 30 days’ notice — the twelve-month rate is the same inventory at a lower price.
Shared slots. Two family-owned or commonly owned brands in non-competing categories may split one segment slot at $500 per month each on a twelve-month agreement. Both logos run in a combined lockup and one host read names both.
Founding Partner rate — through September 30 only. Sign a twelve-month agreement before the season starts and a segment slot is $500 a month for the first six months, then $1,000 for the second six — $9,000 for the year instead of $12,000. Four founding slots. It is a discount for taking the risk early, and it disappears on September 30.
No invented numbers. This is a new feed premiering September 14, 2026. You won’t be quoted an audience that doesn’t exist yet — partners get a one-page delivery report every month instead, and anything missed is made good the following month.
Also available
Individual properties
Sold separately from the tiers above, so a smaller budget still gets a real, named position. Every one of these carries category exclusivity except Community Partner.
The Pick’em
Title sponsor of the weekly free-to-play prediction game — named in every episode, on the results graphic, and on this site. Free entry, no purchase, no entry fee. Prizes are merchandise and experiences only, funded by the sponsor at $150 a month minimum. $8,400 for the year.
The weekly email
Sole sponsor of the weekly newsletter — logo, a two-line written read, and one link in every issue. Starting from zero subscribers; you will get the real number every month, not an estimate. $3,000 for the year.
Backdrop panel
A 24×36 inch printed panel on the studio set, in frame for every recorded episode and every live stream. Your artwork, printed at our cost. The cheapest way onto the screen.
Community Partner
Named in the credits of every episode, logo on this site with a link, and one social post a month. No category exclusivity at this level. Built for small local businesses that want to be part of it. $3,000 for the year.
Winter Classic
Presenting sponsor of the Winter Classic coverage from Rice-Eccles Stadium on December 31 — the single biggest hockey day Utah has had. Included free with the Presenting Partner tier.
Playoffs & watch parties
$1,000 per round of playoff coverage if Utah qualifies. Bars and restaurants that sponsor the show can host a live watch party; one-off events for non-sponsors are $500. Venue rules apply — bar events are 21 and over.
