How to watch New Orleans Pelicans games, Zion Williamson for free in Mississippi
Who are the top five forwards in the 2024 NBA season?
Is Victor Wembanyama going to be at the top of this list by the end of the season? Here are the top 5 forwards in the NBA, according to the For The Hoops crew.
The New Orleans Pelicans are the latest NBA team to establish a new media rights deal that allows fans to watch games for free, including in Mississippi.
The Pelicans announced Tuesday a deal with Gray Media that will provide free over-the-air television broadcasts starting with the 2024-25 season. The new station, Gulf Coast Sports & Entertainment Network (GCSEN), will reach 4.1 million households across Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, according to a news release.
Pelicans games previously were broadcast on Bally Sports New Orleans, but the Pelicans recently parted ways due to financial struggles with Bally Sports’ parent company, Diamond Sports Group.
In Mississippi, there will be affiliate stations in Hattiesburg, Jackson, Biloxi and Meridian.
The full broadcast schedule hasn’t been revealed, but according to the announcement, fans “will be able to watch all non-exclusive nationally televised Pelicans games.”
The preseason begins Oct. 7 at Smoothie King Center against the Orlando Magic. The Pelicans’ first regular-season game is Oct. 23 at home against the Chicago Bulls.
The Pelicans made the playoffs as the No. 8 seed last season and were swept by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round. The core group of Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram, CJ McCollum and Dejounte Murray return, though Ingram is in the final season of a max contract that pays him $36 million in 2024-25.
All that’s necessary to watch the Pelicans is a TV with an antenna. These are the four stations that will carry Pelicans games:
- Biloxi (WTBL, 51.3)
- Hattiesburg (WLHA, 18.2)
- Jackson (WLBT, 3.3)
- Meridian (WOOK, 15.5)

JACKSON COUNTY, Ms. (WZTV) — The family of a Mississippi teenager whose body was found after he went missing Fourth of July weekend is now demanding answers.
On Friday, Civil Rights Attorney Ben Crump , Rev. Al Sharpton and the family of Wells are holding a press conference to demand an investigation into the teen’s death.
Wells’ body was reportedly found Monday in the water near the end of Horn Island in Jackson County, Mississippi.
Rev. Sharpton opened the conference by stating there are too many unanswered questions to close the investigation into Wells’ death. He says Wells, who is Black, went on a boat with three white men, who returned with Wells’ phone and keys, but not Wells.
“We we’ve been told does not make sense,” Rev. Sharpton said. “There’s just too many questions where they should not be closing the investigation. This does not smell right.”
Attorney Crump leading an independent investigation into Wells’ death.
Investigators are asking anyone who was on or near Horn Island on July 4 to come forward, especially if they saw Wells, spoke with him, heard or saw any type of disturbance or have original photos or videos from the island.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department Criminal Investigations Division at 228-769-3065 during regular business hours or 228-769-3063 after hours.

Mississippi Highway Patrol deployed to Goodman after viral gun video, leaders explain goals
GOODMAN, Miss. — The Mississippi Department of Public Safety has deployed state troopers to the Town of Goodman indefinitely following a viral video showing people waving guns and mocking the absence of police in the town.
DPS Commissioner Sean Tindell and other department leaders flew into Goodman on Thursday to meet with town officials. Tindell said the video drew the attention of both himself and Gov. Tate Reeves.
“We felt like there needed to be a presence of law enforcement in Goodman to send a message,” Tindell said. “That it’s not a town or any town in Mississippi that we’re going to allow lawlessness to prevail.”
Troopers conducting stops, working alongside sheriff’s office
Since Wednesday, troopers have been stopping drivers in downtown Goodman and in neighborhoods. Tindell said the Mississippi Highway Patrol is working alongside the Holmes County Sheriff’s Office as part of the investigation.
“It’s more regular law enforcement duties at this point,” Tindell said. “You know, we’re looking at individuals in the video to ask who they were and go from there.”
Tindell said MHP deployments to towns across the state are not uncommon, and include safety checkpoints, driver’s license verifications and insurance verifications.
“So that’s not unusual anywhere on any given day,” Tindell said. “We just happen to be in Goodman because they needed additional help at that time.”
Mayor supports presence; some residents question it
Mayor Michael Howard said he supports MHP’s increased presence in the town. However, resident Keni El questioned whether the deployment was necessary.
“It really doesn’t change anything because if the people they’ve seen on the video are who they came for then that’s who they need to be looking for,” El said. “Because in a way, it’s kind of harassing the people for stupidity of some younglings.”
El said leaders should instead focus on providing resources to mentor young people.
“The youth need to be taught the right knowledge, right wisdom, right understanding,” El said. “But I’m not going to be afraid of no child.”
Tindell said he is unsure how long state troopers will remain in Goodman but will stay in contact with town officials until a departure date is determined.
