75 of 82 Hornets games will be on FSNO... wasn't that the same as CST?

I think CST only did 65 games with some of them in "CSTHD"

The 77 total Hornets games televised is a team record. Since club's return to NOLA in 2007, total has often been 65 to 68ish

In past the TV slate was "backloaded" to avoid skipping games late in season, but in 2012-13 the first 30 games all televised local or nat'l

I might go ahead and cancel my league Pass if I can get FSNO here in DWF.

Looks like the Astros are losing the entire Louisiana market to the Rangers.

I was thinking the same thing. Is it possible to order FSNO on different cable providers?

Please forgive me for asking what has probably already been mentioned, but, is FSNO a new channel or just an old channel renamed? I seem to remember hearing something about this, but, can't remember what I heard.

Technically it's a new channel but it's unclear whether it will replace Fox Sports Houston or be an additional Fox Sports Channel if that's what you're asking.

The Astros are no longer on Fox Sports Houston as of next year. They move to Comcast Houston. Meanwhile, The Rangers signed a big TV renewal with Fox. New Orleans is in both teams tv markets, so Fox will be able to show all Ranger games to us whereas before, we only got the Rangers when it did not conflict with the Astros.

It was, and thanks for the response.

If I had to figure, I don't see why it shouldn't just stand where our current FSN network is. Use the same channel and most of the programming and everything.

FWIW the Rangers manager, Ron Washington, is a native New Orleanian.
