Brighthouse/FSN? 

Post#1 » by tlloyd34 » Mon Jan 21, 2008 3:26 pm

Are there any updates on the Brighthouse Networks/Fox Sports saga? I just got really upset again when I realized that the Detroit game is on FSN. I have season tickets, but have a lot of work to do at home tonight, so I just figured I would watch the game at home. NOPE!

I just hadn't heard anything in awhile, so I figured I would ask and see if there are any updates or any chance of this thing getting worked out before the end of the season...

There is nothing new.

I think Scott Anez is trying to get the sides on Inside Magic before Wednesday's game.

It does not look good though.

They all are greedy bastards who don't care about the fans. If they did this would never have been an issue from the start.

All I know is that the Magic had better cancel the contract with FSN before next season and put the games some where else.

Geez, I'm, past the anger stage.

I'm actually taking this out on the Magic.....as I have yet to pay for any tickets this year. I've been to 4-5 games, but they were freebies.

The lack of regularity of broadcasts has made both my son and me rather apathetic towards watching the Magic. We listen to the radio some, but mostly just for updates.

If the Magic are reading this......My $$$$$ and time has been going to UCF basketball this year instead of you. I'm good for 10 Magic games a year usually.

Stupid move Magic!

Now FIX IT!

i'm pretty sure they can't just "cancel" their contract. They'd have to pay an insane amount, and they're not going to do it.

FSN will get on Brighthouse eventually. It's just a matter of when. Unfortunately it's probably not going to happen before the end of the season.

At the beginning of the season I wasn't getting any of the FSN games but ever since the new year I've been getting all the games. I just assumed everything had been resolved, but I guess not.
