CINCINNATI – Providing fans the best in regional sports television and the most comprehensive coverage of Cincinnati Reds baseball, Fox Sports Net today announced it will telecast 100 Cincinnati Reds games during the 2004 season. Steve Liverani, senior vice president and general manager, Fox Sports Net Ohio, made the announcement.
The Reds regular season on Fox Sports Net begins with the season opener on Monday, April 5 at 2:00 pm as they take on Sammy Sosa and the Chicago Cubs.
Back this season is Real Reds, providing fans with commentary, features and in-depth pregame coverage of the Cincinnati Reds, 30 minutes prior to every game telecast. Dan Hoard hosts the show from the Great American Ball Park with Jeff Piecoro, and with Jim Day from the road.
Also back in 2004 is Reds Wrap, the post-game show featuring highlights, interviews and analysis immediately following each telecast. Jim Day hosts Reds Wrap following home and road games.
"We're absolutely thrilled to continue our commitment to Reds baseball," said Liverani. "Once again, Fox Sports Net is THE place to turn for unparalleled, state-of-the-art coverage of the Reds all season long."
George Grande and Chris Welsh team up again for their 12th season in the broadcast booth. Grande handles the play-by-play duties, as Welsh provides the color commentary.
