Non-Radio: Pirates and FSN

[917WCUC]

FSN and the Pirates sign a long term deal (no length announced) to show at least 150 games per season all in HD. As sad as the team is, it's nice knowing that the majority of the summer if I'm feeling a lazy night, I know I'll have more than one way to consume the games.

Where else they gonna go? It's not like anybody is gonna jump up and
create a YES Network for them!

Someone should create a NO network for the Succos.

They've actually upped it to 156 games, which means there are only six games that won't be on FSN.

Those six are probably West Coast night games, which would finish around 2am back here. I'm not sure even the Penguins televise their West Coast games.

These are the six non-FSN games:

Sat. April 10 -- @ Arizona 8:10 p.m.
Sun. April 11 -- @ Arizona 4:10 p.m.
Wed. May 28 -- @ Milwaukee 1:10 p.m.
Wed. May 12 -- Cincinnati 12:35 p.m.
Sat. May 22 -- Atlanta 7:05 p.m.
Sat. June 26 -- @ Oakland 9:05 p.m.

FSN has the rights to the first two rounds of Penguins playoff games, so I don't know how they'll resolve those conflicts.

Pirates on FSN will go up against the first five NFL Sundays. That could include Steelers games. The NFL schedule hasn't been announced yet.
