FSN (Fox Sports Net) Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description

The Fox Sports Regional Networks, or simply Fox Sports Net, are cable TV networks that were originally owned by separate companies. In addition, Fox Sports Net broadcasts sports news and talk across a range of radio affiliates. The most notable were the SportsChannel networks, which went on the air in 1977 with the original SportsChannel (now Fox Sports New York), and the Prime Sports Networks, which went on the air in 1983 with the charter member being Prime Sports Southwest (now Fox Sports Southwest).

During the 1990s, News Corporation, which launched the Fox Network in 1986, bought both the Prime Sports and SportsChannel regional sports networks.

Starting in September 2004, Fox Sports Net became known simply as FSN.

Fox Sports Net is headquartered in Los Angeles, California, just south of Westwood. The company's ownership structure is quite tangled and is often used by law professors to demonstrate how lawyers can make even simple companies look complicated.
