Early FSN SportsBeat Intro (1997)

In 1996, the Prime Sports Network and it’s entire group of Regional Sports Channels were acquired by Fox to become Fox Sports Net. As a result, the channel that used to be KBL Pittsburgh, and later Prime Sports Pittsburgh became Fox Sports Pittsburgh. Also that year, Fox purchased the original SportSouth from Turner Broadcasting and renamed that network Fox Sports South while SportsChannel and it’s family of networks became part of FSN two years later, with exceptions to the Florida affiliate, which became part of FSN in 2000. The FSN SportsBeat opening intro for the Penguins pregame edition from February 4th, 1997 is the earliest one that I have so far. I must also point out that the audio in this recording is not perfect, but it is the best that I can provide to you, the fans. © 1997 Fox Sports Pittsburgh All Copyrights Acknowledged!!!
