The Tigers today unveiled their most comprehensive package of baseball telecasts in team history -- a 151-game package that will be shared between cable carrier FSN Detroit, and over-the-air channel Fox 2, a newcomer to the Tigers telecast terrain.

FSN Detroit will carry 134 games, while Fox 2 will handle 17 "free" telecasts. It is expected that between national telecasts on ESPN and Fox that all except one game from the Tigers' 162-game regular-season schedule will be televised in 2007.

FSN Detroit will face three conflicts in April because of Red Wings and Pistons game commitments. On those three occasions, it will provide Tigers telecasts on FSN PLUS -- a separate cable outlet that most cable carriers in the area and statewide will provide.

It is possible that more FSN Detroit Tigers telecasts in April and May will shift to FSN PLUS if they bump against Red Wings and Pistons playoff dates.

It is a lot better than last year when it seemed like half the games weren't televised.

Wonder what this will do to my MLB package on DTV, if anything.

They also have 10 national TV games. According to the Free press, the only game not on TV this year is the April 7th game against KC. It said something about it being in Fox's exclusive game of the week window or something. Not too shabby, all but one lowsy KC game (Verlander will probably throw a no hitter or something that night).
