FSN New York (often abbreviated as FSNY, or more appropriately, FSNNY), previously known as Fox Sports Net New York (or Fox Sports New York) and SportsChannel New York, is a regional sports network in the New York City metropolitan area, whose reach expands to cover the entire state of New York, Northern New Jersey, Southwestern Connecticut, and Northeastern Pennsylvania. It is an affiliate of Fox Sports Net and owned and operated by Cablevision, as a sister network to Cablevision's main RSN, MSG, under the banner of MSG Media. FSN New York is home of the NHL's New York Islanders and New Jersey Devils, and, beginning from 2007 season, MLL's Long Island Lizards.[citation needed] FSN New York also serves an overflow purpose when multiple local teams that would be shown on MSG play at the same time, much like MSG does for FSN New York. MSG's teams which may also appear as FSN New York telecast are the NHL's New York Rangers and MLS's Red Bull New York. On March 21, 2007, Red Bulls and MSG has agreed to a new, multi-year contract ensuring that MSG (and FSN New York) will continue televising Red Bulls games. FSN New York and MSG will air approximately 20 select Red Bulls games per season as a part of the new deal, starting with their season opener on April 7, 2007 on MSG2. MSG will also televise the Red Bulls home opener on April 15, 2007. [1] MSG is also the television home of the NBA's New York Knicks, WNBA's New York Liberty, and NHL's Buffalo Sabres, although these teams tend to be exclusively on MSG. Although MSG has nine broadcasting zones, FSN New York has eight broadcasting zones because the remaining zone's eligible MSG Media team is the Buffalo Sabres, which is exclusive to MSG.

FSN New York 2 and MSG2

Like MSG's MSG2, FSN New York also has FSN New York 2. These networks will air only when three or four local games air on FSN New York and MSG combined. The Islanders or Devils game airs on FSN New York 2 and the Knicks or Rangers on MSG2. The Knicks only air on MSG2 when they are on the road and start at least one hour later than Rangers.


On cable systems, these networks air mostly on the TV Guide Channel as the "over-the-air" telecast. On satellite systems, these networks will air on alternate channels assigned by the satellite television provider. Cablevision recently added iO Sports 2 on its digital cable boxes for use on FSN New York 2 and MSG2 in digital quality. When FSN New York 2 and MSG2 air both at the same time, FSN New York 2 will air on the alternate channel. The TV Guide Channel is a television channel that provides, on the bottom one third of the screen, a scrolling grid that lists television channels and the television programs and films currently showing on them. ...


As of July 2007, Verizon FiOS customers require a subscription to the sports package to watch FSN New York 2 and MSG2. [2] Previously, they had carried them on the FiOS Premier package, the Verizon's expanded basic package. However, Verizon FiOS customers with FiOS Premier package still can watch FSN New York and MSG. FiOS is a fiber to the premises (FTTP) telecommunications service offered in the United States by Verizon. ...


From the 1998-1999 NBA and NHL seasons to the 2004-2005 seasons, instead of these alternate channels, Cablevision placed games on their MSG Metro Channels, which were available in a limited number of homes, causing certain customers to miss the games. In high cases of overflow, partially caused by the New Jersey Nets being broadcast on FSN New York at the time, games were also placed on WLNY. During this era, when two of the teams that the MSG Networks covered played against each other, only one broadcast would usually be produced using one of the team's announcing teams. This was either due to MSG's TV contracts or a desire to show a different sporting event at the same time. Beginning in the 2005-2006 NBA and NHL seasons, when Metro was discontinued and Cablevison lost Nets telecasts to YES Network, FSN New York and MSG resumed airing FSN New York 2 and MSG2 and now produce two broadcasts when two of their teams are playing against each other. MSG Metro Channels were a series of local-minded New York City cable networks which launched in 1998 and folded in late 2005. ... ‹ The template below (Taginfo) is being considered for deletion. ... WLNY is an independent television station primarily serving the Long Island section of New York state, licensed to Riverhead, NY with the studios in Melville. ... The Yankees Entertainment and Sports (YES) Network is a New York City regional cable TV channel dedicated to broadcasting baseball games of the New York Yankees, and basketball games of the New Jersey Nets. ...


Arena Football League Coverage

FSN New York airs some New York Dragons games as the AFL on FSN package. Because the AFL on FSN is a local-only telecast, only Dragons games are eligible to air on FSN New York. Other Arena Football League teams' games are blacked out on FSN New York. Some Dragons games air on SNY when not airing on FSN, ESPN, ESPN2, or ABC. Conference National Division Eastern Year founded 1995 Home arena Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum City, State Uniondale, New York Head Coach Weylan Harding ArenaBowl championships none Conference titles none Division titles 8: 1996, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2003, 2004, 2005 Wild Card berths 3: 1995, 2001, 2006 The New York Dragons are...

Collegiate Programming

FSN New York also airs college sports games and local college sports reports, including Hofstra Basketball Report and Inside Villanova Basketball. Some of this content can also air on MSG depending on the local professional team schedules. However, games involving teams in the Tri-State New York Area are typically blacked out outside this area. Time Warner Cable, among others, often acquires rights to these games in order to put them on its own channels in certain markets. Nationally broadcast FSN games airing in zone 1 of FSN New York will air in all FSN New York zones, unless a local team is playing at the same time. In such a case, the college game will be shown on a delayed telecast, on MSG if there is no other live game scheduled, or not at all. Time Warner Cable (NYSE: TWC) is an American national cable television company that operates in 27 states and has 31 operating divisions. ...


New York Rangers and Red Bull New York on FSN New York

New York Rangers and Red Bull New York games are mainly aired on MSG, but they air on FSN New York when New York Knicks (for Rangers) or New York Liberty (for Red Bulls) air on MSG and there are no other local teams that air mainly on FSN New York air on FSN New York at the same time. However, during the 2006-2007 NBA and NHL seasons, the strategy was changed so that the Rangers would sometimes air on FSN New York instead of MSG2, bumping the Islanders and Devils to FSN New York 2 and MSG2. The Knicks and Liberty have higher ratings for MSG than the Rangers and Red Bulls, respectively, thus they rarely air on FSN New York. No Knicks games were aired on FSN New York during the 2006-2007 season (most likely because the Knicks are Madison Square Garden and MSG's highest rated property). Also, there are no Liberty games scheduled to air on FSN New York during the 2007 season. Madison Square Garden, often abbreviated as MSG, known colloquially simply as The Garden, has been the name of four arenas in New York City, United States. ...


The same goes for MSG, that either the New York Islanders or New Jersey Devils, teams that mainly air on FSN New York, air on MSG when these teams play at the same time and when no other local teams that mainly air on MSG air on MSG at the same time.


Differences between FSN New York and other FSN stations

FSN New York is the only FSN station that does not animate the scorebar and scoreboard animations that the other FSN stations do. However, FSN New York does animate, without sounds, the power play and remaining power play time boxes, highlight and color-fading of the scorebar's team name, the scorebar's information board (different from other FSN stations and different depending on which team's telecast FSN New York is airing), and the scoreboard (Devils home games only). On the Red Bulls, Lizards, and the college game telecasts, FSN New York does not use the official FSN scorebar. Also, like FSN New England, FSN New York still uses the classic "scores around the nation" board shown eventually at the bottom of the screen.
