Coverage of Saturday's "Salute to John Stockton" events at the Delta Center will televised live on KJZZ TV beginning at 6 p.m.
"Due to the overwhelming demand for tickets to this event, we determined that providing live coverage, without commercial interruption, would make this event available to everyone who wants to participate," said KJZZ TV general manager Randy Rigby. "Tickets for the event went so fast, this was an easy decision for us to make."
John Stockton, who announced his retirement from the NBA after 19 seasons, will be honored by community leaders, friends and former teammates in the hourlong presentation. Tickets for the event gone in less than 48 hours. An additional 10,000 tickets were distributed for the Party on the Plaza, which will occur simultaneous to the event.
