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.
