I don't see it blacked out on my Fox Sports South, I see the other programming that they was scheduled (crap top 20 catches and crap knockouts, no wonder why I haven't watched this channel since the Hornets left).

I hope it's not going to have the same problem when the Hornets were here, which is where while the games are supposed to be on FSS, they basically only are in the Charlotte area, since other local affiliates choose to show other crap, figuring their customers want to watch that instead. I thought that wouldn't be a problem this time, seeing as how closely the team worked with TWC and Fox to get this deal worked out.

Is anyone getting the game on their local Fox Sports South network? Not NBALP, but their actual Fox Sports South channel?

They were coming back from a break and there was an up close image of a blue bobcats jersey. Not 100% sure when that was though.

He reeled off about 4 chanels. I think 640 direct was one? Maybe 4 was another?

It just seems to make no sense, I'm hoping this is just because they made the switch so quickly and maybe everything else hasn't caught up yet.

I have a "dedicated" FSN channel and that's showing the Hawk's game which is blacked out. The Bobcats' game is listed on an alternate channel, which is usually where the 'Canes' games are on.

Probably have to call the provider, or else they just haven't got the kinks worked out yet.

Someone on the charlotte.com board said they got the channel on DirectTV channel 659.

WOW!! Felts nearly crapped the bed on the last play of the qtr but recovered and whipped a lightning pass to EO50 who had rolled down the lane, caught it and stuffed home the double pump jam.

It was a pretty sweet move!!

I think EO50 is getting more used to Felts whipping him passes so he is getting more ready for them rather than being suprised by them and fumbling the pass.

Not only was the pass great, seeing Mek bull thru those outstretched hands and slamming it down was just gold!

Finished on a strong note.

Oh, and who is the guy wearing Nazr's uniform?

Besides a growing fan base, I hope the new TV deal exposes Steve Martin and Henry Williams.

Felts playing with some really nice control tonight.

That was a great drive and easy finish.

Did no one know that was an "and one"? Everyone just sort of stood there and watched instead of rebounding!

That was weird!!!

Man Big Al is good on the offensive end.

Very creative, very skilled.
