Nashville, Tenn. (September 21, 2010) – The National Hockey League’s Nashville Predators and the team’s regional television partner FOX Sports Tennessee announced today that the network will televise 60 Nashville Predators’ regular-season games during the 2010-2011 NHL season, and for the first time ever, all games are scheduled to be televised in high definition (HD) and will include a LEXUS LIVE post-game show.
The telecast schedule includes 36 of 41 road games and 24 home contests from Bridgestone Arena. Three of the 60 scheduled games will be televised on FOX Sports Tennessee’s sister network SportSouth. Predators’ telecasts will reach cable and satellite households across Tennessee, Kentucky and northern portions of Alabama and Mississippi.
“This season FOX Sports Tennessee and its sister network SportSouth will broadcast the most games in franchise history with all games scheduled for high definition,” Executive Vice President and Chief Sales Office Chris Parker said. “Sixty televised games is our most ever, which means fans can now catch all the hard-hitting action and excitement of Nashville Predators hockey in crystal clear HD.”
Coverage begins with the Predators’ regular-season opener on October 9 against the Anaheim Ducks (7 p.m. CT). Other highlights from FOX Sports Tennessee’s 2010-11 telecast schedule include six games against the Central Division-rival Detroit Red Wings and six games against the Predators’ 2010 first-round playoff opponent and defending Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks. Eighteen of the club’s final 19 regular-season games throughout March and April will also be televised by FOX Sports Tennessee.
