FSN Ohio, formerly Fox Sports Net Ohio and SportsChannel Ohio, is a cable channel in Ohio (with the exception of the Toledo, where FSN Detroit is carried along with FSN Ohio, as well as some central eastern counties where FSN Pittsburgh is carried), parts of Indiana, Kentucky, Northwest Pennsylvania, the border communities of West Virginia (FSN Pittsburgh owning the rights to most of the state), and extreme Southwest New York.
Teams carried by FSN Ohio include the NHL's Columbus Blue Jackets, the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers, MLB's Cincinnati Reds, the AHL's Lake Erie Monsters, the AFL's Cleveland Gladiators, and men's basketball games from Xavier University. FSN Ohio also broadcast Mid-American Conference football and basketball.
Prior to the Cleveland Indians starting SportsTime Ohio in the 2006 season, Cleveland Indians games were on FSN Ohio.
There are actually two feeds of FSN Ohio. One is based out of Cleveland, the other out of Cincinnati, and both cater to the sports scenes in their respective markets. During the 2007 Ohio High School Athletic Association football season, both FSN Ohio channels had a game of the week for their area, airing on Thursday nights.
With two FSN Ohio channels, this can cause conflict for Columbus, which is between both Cleveland and Cincinnati. When two teams are playing at the same time (usual combinations being Columbus Blue Jackets and Cleveland Cavaliers, Blue Jackets and Cincinnati Reds, and Reds and Cavaliers), the Central Ohio-area cable systems usually assign one game to the actual FSN Ohio channel, then assign the second game to an alternate channel on its cable lineup. (Time Warner Cable, for instance, usually has Blue Jackets games on the actual FSN Ohio channel, found on channel 33. The Cavaliers are usually on channel 33, but in times of conflict with the Blue Jackets, they move to the customer service channel, found on channel 24.)
