The Orlando Magic are moving the 35 games that previously aired on Channel 65 to FSN Florida. That means that unless Bright House Networks of Central Florida adds/pays for FSN Florida, the Magic's home market will miss 35 games on the dominant cable provider. This also means that if BHN adds FSN, they should also add the Marlins.

 

For those in other areas of North & Central Florida who may not get the 55 extra Marlins games even if their cableco has FSN Florida.....this deal could end up forcing the cableco to carry all 150 Fish games in order to get all the Magic games.

Thanks for the news cape! I can't imagine BHN not getting FSN now because people will deffinitely raise hell if they're going to miss almost have of the Magic games. Where did you hear this anyway?

I knew it was going to happen back around May, but today the Orlando Sentinel posted an article on it.

This could finally lead to us getting the marlins. One last question, Right now we don't get the Marlins even on Sun Sports. If we start getting FSN, will we start to get the games on sunsports or is it for sure we would even get the games on FSN?

If they add FSN, you will get 95 Fish games. The extra 55 are up for negotiation...but do you think FSN/SUN would let BHN slide without them?

I doubt it. But BHN has never had FSN Fla and for a brief time 5 years ago they didn't have sunsports, because of failiure to come to terms with each other. But BHN quickly made an agreement because of the large amount of people that went nuts. That was our only regional sports network and we would have missed a lot of Orlando Magic games plus much more. But I think BHN has more pressure than FSN/SUN because there are a lot more magic fans than Fish fans up here that will call and complain like crazy.

interesting...

Fish on radio???

Cape...any idea if Comcast plans on televising the Sunshine Network games (or the 55 extra games) in Tallahassee this year. These games would be on the channel guide but were televised. Thanks for the info.
