I was watching the Pistons pregame on FSN, settling in for the game. 8:00 rolled around and the screen went black. Other channels worked, but not FSN. After watching 11 year old boxing fights on ESPN classic for 20 minutes, I flipped back to the Pistons game, but instead saw an old Wake/BC football game being broadcast with the FSN South logo in the corner. No FSN Detroit WTF?!?!?! |

Some games are on "FSN Plus" due to dual scheduling with Red Wings games or other network programming. For Comcast users with digital service this alternative channel is 901. I cant speak for Charter or WOW users, but I believe the number 614 has been thrown out by someone on another board. |

apparently WOW and the Pistons have not come to terms for broadcasting the games. |

Thanks for the story! So basically, WOW can make quick deals with new stations like the Big Ten Network (unlike comcast), but they can't keep up with existing channels. WTF |
