==Television== The Wolves once were the only AHL team with a full television package. As the [[Chicago Blackhawks]]' late owner [[Bill Wirtz]] had refused to allow Blackhawks home games to be televised locally, the Wolves were viewed and embraced as an alternative; the Wolves took advantage of this, going so far as to promote themselves with the slogan "We Play Hockey The Old-Fashioned Way: We Actually ''Win''". After [[Judd Sirott]] served as the team's play-by-play announcer for its first 12 seasons, starting in the [[2006β07 AHL season|2006β07 season]] broadcast announcers were long-time Blackhawks commentators [[Pat Foley]] and [[Bill Gardner (ice hockey)|Bill Gardner]]; Foley ultimately returned to the Blackhawks for the [[2008β09 NHL season|2008β09 season]] after Bill Wirtz died and his son Rocky took over the team, reversing many of his father's policies, one of which allowed the Blackhawks' games to be aired locally on TV.<ref>{{Cite web|date=June 16, 2008|title=Pat Foley returns to Hawks|url=http://www.suntimes.com/sports/hockey/blackhawks/1008218%2Cearlyhawk061608.article|url-status=bot: unknown|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080701131247/http://www.suntimes.com/sports/hockey/blackhawks/1008218,earlyhawk061608.article|archive-date=July 1, 2008|access-date=June 16, 2008|website=[[Chicago Sun-Times]]}}</ref> Since 2008, Jason Shaver has handled the play-by-play duties for the Wolves, along with Gardner. Today, select regular-season home games are broadcast on [[WPWR-TV]] (My50), and [[WMEU-CD]] (The U), and all games are streamed on AHLTV.
