Anyone know how many games will the BobCats be on tv hear in charlotte

The model for what RLJ wants to do is Comcast SportsNet in DC and Philly, YES Network in NY/NJ, MSG in NY, or NESN in NE. To a lesser extent, Cox Sports Television in NO.

I think that Fox Sports Net as we know it will go away and be incorporated in the new channel. I know RLJ doesn't have ties to either of the sports organizations (Fox or ESPN/ABC), however, unless he goes with the Comcast/Charter Sports Southeast model, he has to use one of the two services to fill non-Bobcats programming.

One can hope that this network gets the local broadcast rights for Charlotte, Davidson, and Winthrop that Action 64 does for some Charlotte games.

Possible on-air talent:

PxP: Dave Jageler (Celtics), Steve Holman (Atlanta), Gary Hahn (NCSU), Sam Smith, Matt Swerad (Charlotte).

Color: Gerry V (NO), Cedric Maxwell (Celtics), Hersey Hawkins (Memphis), Mike Gminiski (Duke), Brad Daugherty (ABC/ESPN), Henry Williams (Charlotte)

Sideline: Cindy Beaumont (News14), Kricket Morton (WBTV News 3), Tiffany Golden (WSOC)

Studio/Updates: Mike Solarte (News 14), Gary Williams (WFNZ), Jim Noble (FXSS), Mike Hodgwood (FXSS, Raycom/JP), Chris Justice (NBC6)

I checked out the CSTV website, and they have added non-Cox affiliates, but they are minor.

Houma---Time Warner
Shreveport---Time Warner
Monroe---Time Warner
Biloxi/Gulfport MS---Cable One
Mobile---Comcast
Pensacola----COX
Fort Walton Beach---COX

All of these markets are New Orleans designated (Saints) areas.
