YES to Air Nets Games on Broadcast
By R. Thomas Umstead -- Multichannel News, 3/3/2003 7:21:00 AM
To avoid scheduling conflicts with its New York Yankees Major League Baseball telecasts, Yankees Entertainment & Sports Network announced Monday that it has come to an agreement with WLNY-TV 55 to broadcast four New Jersey Nets National Basketball Association games scheduled to appear on YES.
The agreement also calls for WLNY to potentially carry additional regular-season Nets games if necessary. All WLNY telecasts of Nets games will be produced by YES and use YES announcers.
"We're pleased to have such a quality station such as WLNY-TV 55 broadcast the New Jersey Nets games due to scheduling conflicts that prevent us from televising the games," YES chairman and CEO Leo J. Hindery Jr. said in a prepared statement.
The games are as follows: March 31 versus the Houston Rockets, April 2 at the New Orleans Hornets, April 4 versus the Miami Heat and April 6 at the Toronto Raptors.
