Tigers, Fox Sports Detroit Announce 2009 TV Schedule
All 162 Games Televised Including a Record 156 on FOX Sports Detroit; Six Tigers Appearances on FOX Saturday Baseball Game of the Week; Four Spring Training Telecasts Slated for FOX Sports Detroit
|
|
All 162 games on the Detroit Tigers 2009 schedule will be televised - 156 by FOX Sports Detroit and six
on the FOX Saturday Baseball Game of the Week.
FOX Sports Detroit: 156 regular-season games, the most ever in the network's 12 years of Tigers
coverage, the majority to be available in high-definition on FOX Sports Detroit HD (the HD schedule to be
announced at a later date). For the third consecutive season, some games will be shifted to auxiliary
service FOX Sports Detroit Plus when Tigers games coincide with Pistons or Red Wings games airing on
the primary channel.
Also scheduled are four spring training game telecasts on FOX Sports Detroit (March 16, 19, 22, 29).
FOX Sports Detroit telecasts continue to feature the popular and Emmy-winning announcing tandem of
play-by-play voice Mario Impemba (8th season) and analyst Rod Allen (7th season).
FOX Sports Detroit continues its extensive and exclusive pre- and post-game coverage on TIGERS
LIVE, the long-running in-season magazine show TIGERS WEEKLY, as well as a season preview special.
Tigers games on FOX Sports Detroit are a hit with viewers as evidenced last season when the network
was the most watched primetime television outlet in Metro Detroit from March 31-July 31. A 12-time Emmy
winner for its Tigers coverage, FOX Sports Detroit has steadily increased the number of telecasts
throughout its partnership with the team - starting with 85 games in 1998, growing to 100 games from 1999-
2004, 110 in 2005, 112 during the team's American League championship season in 2006, 132 telecasts in
2007 and 150 games in 2008.
"FOX Sports Detroit is thrilled to offer this schedule to Tigers fans throughout Michigan. With every game
televised, every market served, a large volume of HD games and the best production team in the business,
Tigers fans everywhere will be in baseball heaven," said Greg Hammaren, Senior VP/General Manager,
FOX Sports Detroit. "The Tigers are putting a great team on the field and FOX Sports Detroit will be there
for fans that can't make it out to Comerica Park. We can't wait for that first pitch."
"FOX Sports Detroit continues to provide our fans with an entertaining telecast, giving tremendous
insight to the ballclub during each and every game," said Tigers President, CEO and General Manager
David Dombrowski. "As an organization, we strive to offer Tigers fans the best entertainment value both at
Comerica Park, and through our partners. FOX Sports Detroit is simply the best in their coverage of Tigers
baseball."
FOX Sports Detroit's coverage of the Tigers goes to 3.2 million cable and satellite households throughout
Michigan and portions of Northwest Ohio and Northern Indiana.
FOX Saturday Baseball Game of the Week: Six games (May 2, June 20, July 4, July 25, Aug. 20 and
Sept. 19) are tabbed for regional coverage airing on WJBK-FOX 2 in Detroit and other FOX network
affiliates throughout Tigers territory.
