FSN Targets Wisconsin Region

FSN North portioned off its Wisconsin-targeted fare as a new regional network, FSN Wisconsin.

Featuring 125 Milwaukee Brewers Major League Baseball games and 70 Milwaukee Bucks National Basketball Association games, among others, the network will reach about 1.5 million homes and telecast nearly 2,600 hours of locally produced programming per year.

FSN Wisconsin is the programmer's 19th regional network. It relaunched April 1.

Included in the reorganization, John Walsh was promoted to coordinating producer and will assist FSN Wisconsin executive producer Jeff Byle in overseeing all aspects of production for the network. Walsh was the main producer for Brewers and Bucks games and will continue those duties on a limited basis.

In addition, FSN Wisconsin sales staff also moved to the network’s Milwaukee production facility, where newly named sales manager Laurie Perrigo will direct the four-person team.
