2 June/July games to have start time changes

[brewerjamie15]

MILWAUKEE, Wis. ? Two upcoming Milwaukee Brewers games have been added to the national FOX television schedule, necessitating game time changes.

 

AWAY

The game on Saturday, June 30 at the Chicago Cubs has been moved from a 12:05 p.m. CT first pitch to 2:55 p.m.

 

HOME

The home game on Saturday, July 21 against the Giants at Miller Park has also been moved to 2:55 p.m. CT from its originally scheduled 6:05 p.m. first pitch.

 

Both of these games will be televised in the Milwaukee Home Television Territory on FOX only.

Thanks for the information, Jamie. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

Here's the thread discussing some of the potential effects of these changes:

 

Will Fox pick up any of our games? (Yes, Two So Far)

 

I've locked the old thread in favor of this one.

This one is easy enough to figure out, Fox is hoping that Bonds will be at or near Aaron's record so they hype the living daylights out of this one for Bonds.

Wow,

BrewCityUnit was right on the money with his predictions!!!

There is no way that was guesswork. I am pretty convinced that there had to have been a leak somewhere. Not that I'm complaining though, I for one am glad for the info however we get it.

Just an FYI to everybody.

 

The Brewers-Braves game on Friday, September 21 at 6:35 pm will now be broadcasted on ESPN. No word yet on the status of the FSN telecast.

Huh, thats cool. That could end up being a big game, with possible playoff implications for both teams. (knock on wood)

I had to dig for this thread a bit, but I was wondering, since today's game isn't on tv . . . . has FSN-Wisconsin announced any "make up" games for their schedule? Since they are losing games to

FOX they need to pick some games to broadcast in their place to fulfill their contractual obligations of 125 games (or whatever it is).

 

Anybody hear/read/know about FSN adding any games?

[RightFieldCoder]

IIRC, FSN was broadcasting more games then they had to this year. I think they only have to broadcast 115 games. (another sign that this tv deal stinks) So they could lose some games and be ok. And since Fox is the parent company of FSN, it might still count towards their total.

[Paul77]

FSN is already over there contractual agreement with the Brewers (Min. of 115 games). Plus I think they already added games this season pushing their total over 125.
