January 8, 200521 yr 1) Looks like it will once again be 95 games on FSN and 55 on Free TV. 2) PAX 35 and CBS4/UPN33 are the ones I have heard interested. 3) Marlins likely won't move the 55 Free TV games to cable for 2005, however FSN is still trying.
January 8, 200521 yr Do you know if there is a T.V schedule out yet? Hopefully they will be on ESPN a few times
January 8, 200521 yr we're getting directv hooked back up just so we can get FSN, cant go 90% of the season without it again :shifty bright house sucks!
January 8, 200521 yr Author Do you know if there is a T.V schedule out yet? Hopefully they will be on ESPN a few times 650306[/snapback] Within the next 2 months Holly. ESPN should be coming out soon along with FOX's Saturday Game of the Week. Hopefully they pick the Marlins.

January 8, 200521 yr Author ? Among the finalists for the Marlins TV play-by-play job are radio announcer Jon Sciambi and Seattle Mariners pregame and postgame host Rich Waltz (who finished No. 2 behind new Cubs voice Len Kasper when the Marlins job was last open). The Marlins are expected to televise nearly 150 games, including 95 on FSNF and others on a noncable station (probably Pax-35). http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/sports/10586499.htm
January 8, 200521 yr Author Both could end up being hired: Boog for TV and Waltz to replace Boog on the Radio.
January 8, 200521 yr I'd be interested in hearing Rich Waltz. I personally have never heard of the guy but if he was a finalist for CUbs job he must be pretty good. Im just not a fan of Boog.

Im just not a fan of Boog. 650482[/snapback] you misread. It said that he was a finalist behind len when the marlins job was last open. Which was when len was hired by the fish.

January 8, 200521 yr Marlins are expected to televise nearly 150 games, including 95 on FSNF and others on a noncable station (probably Pax-35). Are you saying that there will be be 32 non televised games? :blink: :confused
January 8, 200521 yr No school in 3 weeks... lol... i screwed up... :banghead :whistle lol... was it really 12 last year? I mean i remember like 4, and ESPN picked up one...
January 8, 200521 yr At most, there will be 12 un-televised games. Subtract from that any that are on ESPN Sunday night or FOX Saturday. Plus, the Marlins usually schedule many of their non-televised games on Wednesday, which are sometimes on ESPN/ESPN2.

January 9, 200521 yr Author Accord, FSN could bump up the offer, but the Marlins would be dealt a blow in ego if they take games off Free TV. Best scenario would be 15-25 games on CBS4, with the 125-135 left being aired on FSN Florida. Outside of Miami, all 150 are aired on FSN Florida. The Twins do this on FSN North and the Red Sox do this on NESN. Same broadcast, just that in Miami you see it on CBS4 and out of Miami you watch it on FSN.

I can't remember the last time there was a Marlins game on CBS4 though, perhaps there were a couple last season but they fell on days where I was actually at the ballpark so I never realized it.

UPN 33 held the rights from 1993-1998, WAMI from 1999-2001, and PAX from 2002-2004 CBS4 in Miami, FSN Florida everywhere else including Palm Beach County. FSN Florida would simulcast CBS4 so you could see it.
January 9, 200521 yr Author When I lived down there, the PAX telecasts were not bad. You have got to remember FSN produced the feed and PAX 35 picked it up and aired it. I remember the first ad for the first Marlins game on PAX 35. It was for Vista Memorial Funeral Home and Cemetary. My dad said "holy s***!" What a way to start play on a new channel. :lol PAX and the Marlins have come a long way since 2002.
January 9, 200521 yr Author Confirmed 2005 Marlins on FOX Saturday Game of the Week Schedule 4 times this season at the least, with 3 more possible. FOX thinks the Marlins may be a darling for 2005. Edit: These would games on Channel 7 in Miami, FOX 29 in West Palm Beach, and FOX 4 in Fort Myers. FOX 35 in Orlando, FOX 51 in Gainesville, and FOX 30 in Jacksonville could join in if they so choose.
