Thoughts?!

INDIANAPOLIS – Starting with next week’s preseason games in Asia, FOX Sports Indiana will televise 82 Indiana Pacers’ games over the next seven months, the network’s biggest Pacers’ television schedule ever.

On Thursday, Oct. 10, FOX Sports Indiana tips off the coverage with the Pacers’ preseason game against the Houston Rockets at the Mall of Asia Arena in Manila, The Philippines. It could be called Breakfast with the Pacers as the game will start at 7:30 a.m., in Indianapolis. The same two teams then travel to Taipei, Taiwan, for a preseason game, Sunday, Oct. 13, at the Taipei Arena, that game providing a Nightcap with the Pacers with a 1:30 a.m. start. Both games will be re-broadcast on FOX Sports Indiana, the Manila game at 1:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. on Oct. 10 and the Taipei game at 5:00 p.m. on the 13th.

The FOX Sports Indiana regular season schedule begins with the Pacers’ regular season opener when they host the Orlando Magic, Tuesday, Oct. 29, at 7:00 p.m. That will be the first of 80 regular season games on FOX Sports Indiana, the two exceptions being the Thursday, Jan. 16 game at New York and the Monday, Jan. 20 game at Golden State. Those two games will be available on TNT.

“We’re thrilled to deliver our biggest Pacers’ TV schedule ever on FOX Sports Indiana to fans throughout the state,” said FOX Sports Indiana General Manager and Senior Vice President Jack Donovan. “The Pacers are coming off a great 2012-13 season and are poised to be one of the NBA’s best teams again this year.”

Chris Denari, in his eighth season as play-by-play man, and Quinn Buckner, in his 15th season as analyst will call the action. Former Pacers’ player Austin Croshere will serve as analyst on selected games throughout the season. Brooke Olzendam returns for her third season as the “Pacers Live” pregame and postgame show host as well as in-game sideline reporter.

Again this season, all eight preseason games and all 82 regular season games will be available on the Bankers Life Indiana Pacers Radio Network that includes The Fan 107.5 FM/1070 AM in the Indianapolis area. Mark Boyle begins his 26th season as play-by-play man with legendary Bob “Slick” Leonard, in his 29th year as an analyst, joining him for all home games. Kevin Lee returns for his 18th year as radio host and sideline reporter for all home games with Michael Grady hosting the road games

How is this different from last year? As far as I can remember, every non-national game was on TV, here locally, last year. And when they would broadcast on NBA TV those games were blacked out since FSI showed them.

I do not live in Indy so I am just trying to learn more about the team and recent exposure in comparison to previous seasons.

I think it's the number of pre-season games broadcast that sets the record. In years past, didn't they use to show some of those on channels 4 and 23? As in, it wasn't worth the time and money for FS to broadcast?

Hoping for another hockey strike so that the FSN Midwest affiliate in St. Louis will replace Blues hockey with Pacers basketball again this year. But it's not looking good.
