With the prospect of the Marlins having all 150 TV games on FSN Florida in 2005, you can expect the emergence of FSN Florida + (CSN Chicago, FSN Ohio and FSN Bay Area already have the FSN+ system) which will be a seperate channel on your cable or dish system different than the normal FSN, where you can catch games. There will be times where the Marlins and Devil Rays, and even the Panthers once they return to play, will conflict and require this.

 

This map shall help you find out the zone you live in and what you are entitled to watch.

For example, I live in the SW Florida Zone (Feed #3). Most on this board live in the South Florida Zone (Feed #1).

Zones 1, 2, 3 and 5 are Panthers territory.

All zones are Devil Rays and Marlins territory. Marlins have exclusivity in Zones 1 and 2. Devil Rays have exclusivity in Zone 4. Marlins have preference over Rays in all other zones.

Comcast needs to pick up FSN Florida in Tallytown, or you can get Dish Network or DirecTV and get it as your local sports network along with Sunshine Network.

This is the new system the Marlins sent me for affiliates. So if you have a concern, just post it here along with your zone and town so I can forward it to them if they are not aware of it.

Call your local Comcast office and request it. Tell them that every other Comcast has it and that a deal was signed in the past year or so and they should add it too.

So there will be no Rays games in South Florida? Or will we still be able to se the Rays when the Fish are not on FSN?

If there is no other game on, Rays will be on. As of right now this is all capable of changing. The Marlins have yet to sign on the dotted line to put all 150 games on FSN, but the plans are being drawn up.

If this system does come to fruition, I will guide everyone all the way. The A's and Giants switched to it in 2004, the Cubs and White Sox way before then, and the Reds and Indians have had it since around 2000.

 

Once you get used to it, if it happens, you won't be missing a minute or ever thinking about it.

Here is the guide from FSN Bay Area

a Basic Explanation:

 

FSN Bay Area is pleased to announce the launch of FSN Plus, which will carry FSN Bay Area games when the network has dual events scheduled for the same particular time period.

 

FSN Plus events will be on Comcast Bay Area channel 77 in most cases, 655 on DirecTV, and 445-448 on Dish Network. Viewers on other cable systems are encouraged to call their cable provider for the channel of FSN Plus.

 

On days with simultaneous games, FSN will carry one game, and the cable and satellite providers will make Fox Sports Net Plus available to air the second contest live. FSN Plus will be made accessible by Comcast Cable, other area cable companies and satellite providers, to deliver more live events to viewers in Northern California and Northern Nevada.

Many of you in Magic/Lightning territory deal with this type of scenario on Sunshine Network.

 

Here is an example from Sunshine last year for a Lightning game:

The Lightning's game on Wed., Mar. 10 at Carolina is now being produced by Sunshine, but will NOT air live on Sunshine's channel, but on alternate channels assigned by area cable/satellite providers (see below). The game will replay on Sunshine Network at 10pm (ET).

 

TV Channels for 3/10 Game (as of 11am Tuesday):

 

Bright House Networks Customers in Orange, Osceola and Seminole Counties: Channel 49; Brevard, Volusia and Flagler Counties: Channel 98; Lake, Marion and Sumter Counties: Channel 99; Hillsborough, Pinellas, Polk, Manatee Counties; Channel 47.

 

Cox Communications Cable in Gainesville: Channel 15.

 

Comcast in Tallahassee: Channel 21.

 

Knology in Pinellas/Clearwater: Channel 7.

 

Time Warner in Lake City: Channel 20;
