July 28, 200323 yr The Florida Marlins are starting to increase marketing efforts around the state using several methods. Fox Sports Net is airing Marlins commercials at all times of the day instead of during the games only, the Marlins Television Network (PAX) has expanded to a new market in North Florida, and Some newspapers around the state are airing some Marlins print ads. Nice to see this happening! :thumbup If you have seen anymore increases in their marketing efforts, please add on to this thread.
July 28, 200323 yr Author Bright House Network and Fox Sports Net are at war. Terrible, I know. Why couldn't they use the Tamp Bay contract in Central Florida? They say on their website they have no plans of carrying FSN. Time Warner here in Cape Coral carries it, Bright House in Tampa Bay carries it, why not Bright House in Central Florida?
