Big East on YES Network

[Tsmithohio123]

rumor has it that Fox personalities Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly have been booked on their sister network FSN1 to provide celebrity color commentary on select games (mainly Creighton and XU games), interjecting political points where appropriate.

Fox has subleased another package of games, this time 10 games to MSG Network:

Combined with the games already announced for YES, that's around 20 games out of Fox's package that will now air on other outlets. It's great for exposure in NYC and, in the case of MSG Network, for the league's business relationship with the MSG Company. It's not so great for fans in Big East markets like Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Omaha where access to those networks isn't widely available. It'll be interesting to see if further sublease deals materialize.

Are these games in addition to those that FS1 will be airing or will this reduce the number shown on FS1?

I hope St. John's has a show like the Syracuse show and the Husky report that SNY had. St. John's was the local team and the out of town teams had their own weekly shows.

This kind of sucks. I'd like the ACC not on our networks.

MSG and FOX Sports announced that they have reached an agreement to bring ACC football and basketball and Big East basketball to the MSG Networks this fall.

MSG will televise up to 10 ACC football games and up to 23 men’s ACC basketball games, as well as select women’s basketball and Olympic sports. MSG will also offer up to 10 Big East basketball games. Complete telecast schedules for MSG and MSG+ will be announced in the coming weeks.

St. John's had the Red Storm Report. I forget whether it was on SNY or MSG.
