FOX Sports Net Rebranding When?
- Thread starter radiolives
- Start date
No rebranding date has been announced, nor has a new brand been announced. There is a licensing agreement between Sinclair subsidiary Diamond Sports and Fox for the name, but the term of the agreement was redacted from filings.
I thought the licensing of the Fox Sports name ended with the end of baseball season. Unless they got an extension.
if they have a rebranding planned soon, it would happen most likely around March to April. that's when Baseball season begins
The NHL season is a couple of weeks old and the NBA season started yesterday. FSN regionals carry teams in those leagues, too. Why would the rebranding have to wait for baseball to start again?
maybe due to the start of the new Cubs RSN. they would like to do a rebranding at the same time this network launches. plus Sinclair is pretty much redoing all the current RSN deals with cable providers to treat it like a new RSN that's replacing the FSN RSNs instead of just a normal network rebranding, a example of this was the recent AT&T/Sinclair negotiations that lead to a now resolved dispute. and most likely, the FSN RSNs will never return to Dish, but instead they get the newly relaunched RSNs when the Sinclair owned stations contract expires when it does expire, i don't know when that is gonna be, but i know Sinclair seems to be playing the long game with Dish since for the time being, Dish is not gonna bring the FSN RSNs back right now and is in no rush to reach a new deal right now for them.
I assumed the Cubs RSN will be run separately from the other Sinclair stations.
Yeah, I think it isn't going to take place until 2020 once baseball season starts just my opinion. I think it'd be wise to maybe go with Stadium get it in more homes since that is in only a few homes with OTA sub-channels but not many carry it laregly just on internet/streaming I wouldn't be surprised if ROH goes on the RSN.
Ring Of Honor is also airing on Fox Sports West Midnight Fridays.
it will be on all the FSN's that Sinclair owns

Beginning Friday, November 8, matches will air at midnight in the applicable time zones for wrestling fans who receive from their TV provider any of the 21 RSNs that Sinclair acquired earlier this year and on Marquee when it launches in early 2020. This marks the first original sports entertainment content brought by Sinclair since acquiring the RSNs.

Does ROH do non-televised house shows nationally or even regionally, or is it just a made-for-TV wrestling product?
yes
They have non televised shows that are shown on their IPPV platform on their site (they are on DVD later) and have gone to Europe. They mainly stay in the midwest and northeast but do head to Vegas for some "bigger" shows. They use to come to Minneapolis (well suburb of Hopkins) yearly but haven't been here in the last couple years
So is it going to be on Stadium Channel still?
I assume so. Just like on Sinclair owned stations and Charge!
When did it first air on Comet for you?
Root Sports Pittsburgh rebranded to AT&T Sportsnet in the middle of the baseball season.
So it could happen.
So it could happen.
