NESN TO TELEVISE EVERY 2006 RED SOX GAME
Network will become first regional in country to produce every game in HD
Boston, MA - NESN, New England’s most watched sports network, will deliver exclusive coverage of every locally televised Red Sox game in the Boston television market next season. For Boston area fans, this will create one destination for all Red Sox telecasts and align coverage of the games with the rest of New England. Since 2003, NESN has provided coverage of every Red Sox game in eight of the nine New England DMAs.
NESN is available on channel 75 in Time Warner Cable's Pittsfield, Mass., location and on channel 52 in our Athol, Mass., location.
This change will also make it possible for NESN to become the first regional network in the country to produce every game in high definition (HD). NESN is a sports leader in HD programming, having produced 152 live high-def games in 2005 and plans to produce over 225 live HD games in 2006. In addition to game coverage, NESN will also originate over 700 studio programs in HD this year.
Popular announcers Don Orsillo and Jerry Remy will return to the NESN booth for their sixth season together to deliver the network’s Emmy Award winning play-by-play coverage. NESN will also continue its comprehensive Red Sox coverage with one hour pregame and postgame shows in 2006.
NESN’s current off-season Red Sox programming includes: "Red Sox Now", a Wednesday night hot-stove program that delivers off-season news, interviews and previews; and "Reliving the Rivalry", a look back at the best Red Sox vs. Yankees games that have appeared on NESN over the past three seasons. Both programs are hosted by NESN’s Red Sox studio host Tom Caron.
NESN begins the 2006 baseball season on Friday, Feb. 17, with 45 days of Red Sox spring training coverage that includes daily reports from Tom Caron and Don Orsillo on NESN SportsDesk. NESN will also highlight the first week of spring training with five live episodes of "Red Sox Now" from Fort Myers beginning Monday, Feb. 20, and Boston Globe SportsPlus on-location on Feb. 22 and 24. NESN’s nine-game spring training schedule begins Saturday, March 4, 2006 at 1 p.m. when the Sox take on the Pittsburgh Pirates.
