8 More FSN Games Left 

Post#1 » by Howard Mass » Thu Feb 14, 2008 6:54 pm

For Everyone with BrightHouse or a Comcast system that does carry the FSN and/or the Magic games on it, we only have 8 games left this season on FSN.

The first 5 games out of the All-Star break will be on SunSports followed by three on FSN.

After that, there are only 5 games left and the final Magic regular season game on FSN will be...

Tuesday March 25 vs. San Antonio.

After that, the remaining 9 regular season games are on SunSports with one of them on ESPN.

If FSN gets the playoff games, we will be fine as TNT and ESPN do not black us out.

However, a game that is put on NBA TV, would likely be blacked out to us as it usually is.

Hopefully, BrightHouse and the Comcast systems across the state that do not have FSN or the Magic games that come with it can work out a deal.

If I can't watch a Magic playoff game on my own TV because it's on FSN I swear to God something important will be lit on fire.

I hate Brighthouse for this... Yet I still have them. I actually switched to dish and the whole process was such a clusterf**k that I just told them to go away and kept Bhouse, unfortunately.

I understand this thing from all three sides.

Like all of us, I just want something to get done.

Let's hope at worst that this is resolved by next season and we miss no playoff games.

The last thing I heard was both sides were back at the table talking. That is always good news but I worry because all but one of the remaining FSN games are on in March that nothing will get done.

The cable companies who are hesitant to pick up FSN on the basic package might decide to gut it out and not try to strike a deal until the start of next season.

This way they do not have to raise rates again if needed.

Let's hope this is not the case so we can all finally have FSN and I can watch some more summer baseball.

i agree with harry, if i can't watch a Magic playoff game because of this (or if I have to watch it on my computer as it tries to buffer channelsurfing.net), I will not light something important on fire, instead I'll just walk into the offices of all three groups and start swinging away. I know where each one of them is and they're not far from work!

I just hope they work something out by next season. I spend way too much money at Beef O Bradys.

I don't see an end to this at any point in the future.

This battle with FSN has been the same battle for several years. Even with the addition of the Magic to FSN, there has been but a limited, quiet outcry about the situation.

Neither side has been willing to compromise in the past, and there isn't a significant reason for either to now. The public doesn't care, just like the 3 parties involved.

I have no problems now. I have Cox cable in Gainesville which carries both SunSports and FSN, but before when the games were on FSN they would never be picked up. So I could only watch the games on Sun.... but recently they've been picking up games on FSN. :clap: It has been killing me missing those FSN games.
