FSN New England to Provide Blanket Coverage of New England Patriots All Season Long

Local & Network FSN Programming Has Pigskin Covered Nightly

Burlington, MA – Can the New England Patriots repeat as Super Bowl champs? Are the Patriots the team of the decade? The answers will come one week at a time, and FSN New England will have the most comprehensive local and network coverage of the Pats throughout their title defense.

With three nightly and two weekly shows covering the Patriots and the NFL, FSN New England has 14 hours of football coverage per week, more than any New England broadcast or cable TV network.

Add to the mix, current Patriots Rodney Harrison & Matt Light, former NFL studs Steve DeOssie, Pete Brock & Brian Cox; Patriots beat writers Michael Felger (Boston Herald), Tom Curran (Providence Journal), and Alan Greenberg (Hartford Courant); and the guys with the ear of the fans Glenn Ordway (WEEI), Pete Sheppard (WEEI) and Andy Gresh (The Score AM/FM); and Patriots fans can get all the pigskin coverage they crave at one stop.
