ToriElectra 292 Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 I don't think it has anything to do with CSN being in the NW, but rather that the Seattle Mariners own a 60% stake of RSNW. Right, much how the Yankees and Mets each own stakes in YES and SNY- derailing any plans by Fox and Comcast to rebrand those RSNs under their names (Spectrum/TWC also owns a piece of SNY, further complicating it). (If Fox could get away with it, they would- it'd mean Fox Sports New York would return after the original one became MSG Plus around 2006-07; as a bit of trivia, FSN programming was carried on WPXN channel 31 pre-PAX/ION- back then it was WBIS-TV/S+, owned by Dow Jones and ITT and carried a blend of business news and sports; FSN lacked an affiliate, so they carried Fox Sports News and other FSN programs until the Paxson acquisition happened (WBIS' hybrid format failed hard).)
D Dwayne 5 Posted June 14, 2017 Author Posted June 14, 2017 I wonder if they will have new theme music?

Technically, FOX owns a majority stake in YES--as of last year I believe. I do think that there must have been some kind of agreement/demand by the Yankees that FOX not rename the network as FS New York. If i'm not mistaken, informally it's known as FOX Sports YES And I really hope they keep the theme music. The baseball version is fantastic. Very underrated. On a side note: Most MLB that renegotiated their tv contracts in the last few years have made deals to acquire a stake in the RSN's that carry their teams.
D Dwayne 5 Posted June 14, 2017 Author Posted June 14, 2017 The theme music is great I just think it's weird they use the same music for baseball and basketball.
A3N 1002 Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 The theme music is great I just think it's weird they use the same music for baseball and basketball. Incorrect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NajmsMtOA24
D Dwayne 5 Posted June 14, 2017 Author Posted June 14, 2017 Yeah the intros are different but it's the same themes.
A3N 1002 Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 Yeah the intros are different but it's the same themes. I'm not sure if all sports share the same music package with each getting their own cut, or if they each have their own package but share the same signature.
RGSJenkins 435 Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 This is the hockey version: In some opens at the end, instead of the crowd chanting "GO, GO, GO!!", Pittsburgh has "LET'S GO (PENS/BUCS)!!!, and Utah has "LET'S GO JAZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!"
Eat News 4745 Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 The theme music is great I just think it's weird they use the same music for baseball and basketball. They should just add words to the music...and have 2 versions.
oklahomanewsman 210 Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 I believe that Turner Sports will be combined with that of AT&T SportsNet and shorten it to "SportsNet" and Turner will get the graphics that the RSNs will receive by next year's NBA Playoffs. Could AT&T/Turner decide to launch a National Sports Channel to compte with ESPN, NBCSN and FS1? I think any effort to launch a national sports channel won't take place for another 4-5 years if not longer
D Dwayne 5 Posted June 27, 2017 Author Posted June 27, 2017 I'm wondering if At&t will add any original programming now.
oklahomanewsman 210 Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 I'm wondering if At&t will add any original programming now. Not till AT&T gets their hands on Turner (including Turner Sports) before they get original programming on the RSNs. If/when they do they may add a 30 minute nightly sports show that won't neccesarily compete with SportsCenter but for fans in Pittsburgh, the Rocky Mountain and Southwest regions it would be an alternative to SportsCenter but I don't know whether it would happen or not, it may not even occur at all. Just have to wait and see
D Dwayne 5 Posted June 27, 2017 Author Posted June 27, 2017 Hopefully they some original local programming.

Just have to wait and see Given that both FOX's and NBC's RSNs are moving away from nightly highlight shows, I doubt they'd want to adopt something that's a dying breed.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised because nowadays you don't have to wait till SportsCenter came on to recieve your highlights whcih as soon as that comes out I'll be using the ESPN app for highlights and just watch ESPN for College games and maybe Monday Night Football and that's about it.
A3N 1002 Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 If they were to add more original programming, they'll go with [more] team specific shows. These shows tend to be cheaper to produce, and will have heavy emphasis on social media. The SF Giants/NBC Sports BA just debuted a new show called "Giants Outsiders" , Which is heavy on social media. The Padres have a show called "Padres POV", basically it's a cheap 30 minute show hosted by the secondary sideline reporter and she does segments/interviews with current players. Not much investment in the show since a majority of the time she carries around a go-pro to shoot, or does her own MMJ work. If the need for a photog pops up, then they'll assign one person.

CSN Philly has had shows like that for the four teams they carry for quite awhile now and they run them multiple times a day to fill programing.
D Dwayne 5 Posted July 4, 2017 Author Posted July 4, 2017 Can't wait to see the new graphics package!
D Dwayne 5 Posted July 6, 2017 Author Posted July 6, 2017 They were planning on rebranding to Direct tv sportsnet. http://teanthony.com/logo-design/
DonDonP1 118 Posted July 15, 2017 Posted July 15, 2017 Hello, everyone. The new AT&T SportsNet logo debuted yesterday. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT&T_SportsNet
oklahomanewsman 210 Posted July 15, 2017 Posted July 15, 2017 I wonder if Turner Sports will eventually follow suit with those graphics for their NBA, MLB and Golf coverage (with the TNT and TBS logos instead of the AT&T Globe logo in it)?
Viper550 292 Posted July 15, 2017 Posted July 15, 2017 That seems like a better-implemented version of what TBS was trying to do.
A3N 1002 Posted July 15, 2017 Posted July 15, 2017 The opens are fantastic. The graphics are clean and very crisp. Root Sports NorthWest kept the same branding as was previously mentioned--they also got the new graphics. The biggest difference is that the R from Root Sports is placed where the AT&T globe is currently entrenched. They also got a new music package to go along with the new graphics.
D Dwayne 5 Posted July 15, 2017 Author Posted July 15, 2017 I think it's weird that Root Sports Northwest went with new music while keeping the Root brand.
