Encyclopedia > Regional sports network

A Regional Sports Network, or RSN, is a cable television station that presents sports programming to a local market. The most important programming on an RSN consists of live broadcasts of professional and college sporting events, as those games generate an overwhelming percentage of an RSN's advertising income. During the rest of the day, these stations show filler programming such as interviews, call-in talkshows and highlights shows that mimic ESPN's SportsCenter; some of the RSN's also air ESPNews in the overnights and mornings. These channels are often the source content for out-of-market packages. Coaxial cable is often used to transmit cable television into the house. ... ESPN (formerly an acronym for the Entertainment and Sports Programming Network) is an American cable television network dedicated to broadcasting sports-related programming 24 hours a day. ...

It airs news, highlights, press conferences, and commentary by analysts all in relation to sports. ...

Fox Sports Net

The default RSN for many markets is owned by Fox Sports Net, but an increasing trend is for the teams whose games make up the lucrative programming to own the RSN themselves. This serves two purposes: First, the teams make more money operating an RSN than they would collecting a licensing fee from, for example, Fox Sports Net. Fox Sports Net headquarters in Los Angeles. ...


Second, by owning their own RSN, teams that must share revenues with other members of their league can mask its broadcast-related profits. Under the old model, a team collects a large fee for licensing its games to the RSN. That fee would then be disclosed and shared with the other teams in the league. Under the new, team-owned RSN model, the team demands only a nominal fee, so the profits for local broadcasting stay with the team.


One of the most successful RSNs is the YES Network, owned by the New York Yankees, which broadcasts Yankee baseball games as well as basketball games of the New Jersey Nets. 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. ...

High Definition

Some RSNs broadcast select content in High Definition. These channels are usually available as part of a cable company's service, however on satellite services such as DirecTV, HD games are available on dedicated channels, most the time free as part of an out of market package.
