Unique Dual Telecast Planned For Thursday’s Pistons-Lakers Game
Friday, March 20, 2009

For the first time, FOX Sports Detroit’s collection of channels will present simultaneous telecasts of the same game, but from two different perspectives, when the Pistons take on the Los Angeles Lakers at the Palace on Thursday, March 26.

The traditional game coverage will appear on FOX Sports Detroit and in high-definition on FOX Sports Detroit HD.

Meanwhile, FOX Sports Detroit PLUS present/s a “Match-up Cam” telecast, with devoted cameras isolating on key battles throughout the game among the many stars on each team.

“We are looking forward to this unique, creative and compelling use of our PLUS service,” said Greg Hammaren, Senior Vice President/General Manager, FOX Sports Detroit. “We hope fans that are enjoying the traditional high-quality telecast on our main service will be intrigued to sample PLUS to see an isolated view of just how hard these great athletes work during the course of a game.”

Coverage on all channels begins at 6:30 PM with Pistons Insider, followed by PISTONS LIVE at 7:00 and the game at 7:30. Game audio will be the same on all channels with play-by-play announcer George Blaha, analyst Greg Kelser, along with sideline reporters Ryan Field and Eli Zaret. Field hosts PISTONS LIVE pregame, while Mickey York hosts the postgame edition.
