The New England Sports Network (or NESN ) is an American regional sports cable and satellite television network that is owned as a joint venture between the Fenway Sports Group (which owns a controlling 80% interest, and is the owner of Boston Red Sox and Liverpool Football Club) and Delaware North (which owns the remaining 20% interest in the network, and owns the Boston Bruins and TD Garden). Headquartered in Watertown, Massachusetts, the network is primarily carried on cable providers throughout New England (except in Connecticut in Fairfield County). NESN is also distributed nationally on satellite providers DirecTV and Dish Network and as NESNNational via select cable companies.
NESN is the primary broadcaster of the Boston Red Sox and the Boston Bruins – serving as the exclusive home for all games that are not broadcast by a national network. NESN also carries minor league baseball games, regional college sports events, various outdoor and sports talk shows, and delayed Premier League soccer games.
NESN was, for a time, the New England carrier for Fox Sports Networks (before SportsChannel New England joined Fox Sports Net). After that, until early 2006, NESN carried ESPNews during the afternoon and overnight hours. NESN has carried regional Atlantic Coast Conference college basketball games since Boston College joined the conference, including games from Fox Sports Net. NESN was launched on March 21, 1984 as a premium channel; it was converted to a basic cable service in 2001, a model that has since been copied by other companies through their respective launch of new regional sports networks.
History
The channel was an initial affiliate of the American Sports Network with its first broadcast on August 30, 2014.
Sports coverage
Boston Red Sox
New England Sports Network has provided coverage of Boston Red Sox Major League Baseball games since the network's first broadcast day on March 21, 1984, when it aired a spring training game against the Detroit Tigers from Lakeland, Florida. Former Sox second baseman Mike Andrews served as the play-by-play announcer and Kent Derdivanis provided color commentary. NESN periodically sent guest color commentators to the booth, among which included Rico Petrocelli, Bill Monbouquette and Dick Radatz. The in-studio host was Sean McDonough.
NESN now carries full coverage of Red Sox games (with the exception of some games nationally broadcast on Fox and ESPN) as well as in-depth pre- and post-game shows. Unlike previous seasons where it split coverage with broadcast television stations, it now broadcasts all Red Sox games that are not nationally televised, using the slogan "One Nation, One Network". In 2006, it became the first regional sports network to broadcast all Major League Baseball games in high definition (however spring training games continued to be broadcast in standard definition until 2012), through the launch of NESN HD – available to cable providers throughout New England, DirecTV, Dish Network, AT&T U-verse (in Connecticut), Comcast (in most of New England) and Verizon FiOS.
For Red Sox game broadcasts, Don Orsillo serves as the play-by-play announcer, with Jerry Remy as his color commentator and Gary Striewski serving as the field reporter. In 2009, while Jerry Remy took an indefinite leave of absence due to illness, Dennis Eckersley performed the color commentary for home games and Dave Roberts provided commentary for most road games. Orsillo worked with 26 different partners starting with the 2009 spring training games including Frank Viola, Ken Ryan, Jim Kaat, Gordon Edes, Bob Montgomery, Dwight Evans, Brian Daubach, Buck Martinez, Ron Coomer, Rance Mulliniks, Sean Casey, Rex Hudler and numerous sports writers. Jerry Remy returned to the booth on August 21, 2009.
Pre-game
One hour before each Red Sox game, Tom Caron hosts Red Sox First Pitch and Red Sox Game Day Live, in which Caron and others, including Hall of Famers Dennis Eckersley and Jim Rice, along with former Major Leaguers Tim Wakefield and Steve Lyons, provide highlights from the previous game, analysis on the upcoming team, player profiles, news from around the league and their "keys to the game." Nick Cafardo and Peter Abraham make regular appearances on Game Day Live. In 2006, NESN introduced a segment on Fridays before the pre-game show called Friday Night Fenway, which showcases pre-game activities from inside Fenway Park before Red Sox home games that day.
NESN's studio shows were originally broadcast from its Fenway Park studio. Since 2003, NESN has broadcast its pre-game show from Yawkey Way when the Red Sox play at Fenway Park. For road games, the pregame shows originate from NESN's Watertown, MA studios.
Post-game
Following each game telecast, NESN airs W.B. Mason's Extra Innings and Red Sox Final, in which Tom Caron and one or more of the studio analysts from the pre-game show deliver a wrap-up of the night's game from the studio. The team presents highlights and statistics from that day's game and often have a member of the Red Sox team on hand to get their take on the game. This hour of coverage also focuses on the game to be played next on the preseason/seasonal game schedule, as well as news from the league. The post-game is usually not covered if the Red Sox play a game held on the west coast; in those instances NESN Sports Today immediately follows the game. Since 2006, NESN has broadcast the postgame show from its Watertown studios; it had previously been broadcast from its Fenway Park studio.

Boston Bruins
Bruins coverage on NESN began in 1984; Fred Cusick served as play-by-play announcer and Johnny Peirson as color analyst for both NESN's games (mostly home contests) as well as coverage of mainly road games broadcast by WSBK-TV (channel 38). In 1985, NESN dropped Pierson as analyst and replaced him with Dave Shea. Terry O'Reilly joined the telecasts the following season. Derek Sanderson became the analyst, after O'Reilly left NESN to become head coach of the Bruins in 1987. NESN broadcast some games during the 1988 and 1990 Stanley Cup Finals.
As of 2014, Jack Edwards handles the play-by-play duties during games while Andy Brickley serves as the color analyst. Jamie Erdahl serves as the reporter at ice level. Since the 2006–07 season, NESN has broadcast all Bruins games in high definition.
Pre-game and post-game coverage
Bruins coverage has expanded since NESN took over exclusive rights to the team's games (which it previously shared with WSBK-TV). The pre-game show is Bruins Face-Off Live and the post-game show is Bruins Overtime Live, with the focus similar to the Red Sox shows, along with the weekly magazine program The Instigators Live (after the post-game show on Thursdays) and the highlights program Big Bad Bruins Live during the season (live before the pre-game show on Saturdays). Dale Arnold serves as host of the pregame and postgame shows, along with analysts Gord Kluzak, Barry Pederson, and Billy Jaffe. Arnold co-hosts The Instigators with Jack Edwards, Andy Brickley, Jaffe, and others, while Dale Arnold hosts The Big Bad Bruins Show.
