Red Sox Television
The Red Sox Nation is alive and kicking across America today. Whether you are an old-school fan or a Johnny-come-lately you can get all the best Red Sox coverage and games in outstanding high-definition on DirecTV HD by adding NESN HD to your mix of channels. NESN HD is a part of Direct TV’s Sports Subscription.
I have watched the Red Sox play in high-def on NESN and FSN. NESN clearly has the better HD picture with bright, vivid pictures and such an impressive sound quality that you can hear the fans in the stands as they cheer on Ortiz at bat or Elsbury as he races through the outfield to catch a pop-fly.
NESN is the New England Sports Network with strong ties to Boston. NESN showcases the Red Sox, Bruins, Patriots, Celtics and even college ball games. This is the one-stop shop for all the best Red Sox coverage available on television.
Fans can catch scores, headlines, stories, and news from a variety of programs on NESN throughout the day. Their knowledgeable anchors, analysts and Boston Globe guests make these shows incredible. You can immerse yourself in the culture of Red Sox Baseball.
Get ready for the game on DirecTV by tuning in to Red Sox Pre-Game. For a full hour you get hear stats, highlights, and predictions while listening to the analysts discuss the upcoming game. This show is hosted by Tom Caron with rotating analysts. Red Sox fan favorite announcer, Jerry Remy, contributes to the content along with Boston Globe writers.
Immediately after the final inning get the Red Sox Post-Game with a full hour of high-definition post-game coverage. This show is also hosted by Tom Caron with analysts Dennis Eckersley, Jim Rice, Ken Mache, or Dave McCarty. Viewers will get live locker room access and her press conferences held after the game. This is a must see for Red Sox fans to get an interview with their favorite players.
Sportsdesk is anchored by Hazel Mae and Kathryn Tappen. Viewer will get the game score, headlines, features, and stories. This show airs following the game and is available mornings, midday or in the evening as well.
Globe 10.0, Red Sox Monster Monday, and the Ultimate Red Sox Show bring you even more baseball coverage. Globe 10.0 is jammed packed with debates on events happening in the baseball world that day. Red Sox Monster Monday gets you ready for the week with matchups, stores, the Monster Cam, Green Monster topics, and more. Hazel Mae is the host of Ultimate Red Sox Show counting down the top 9 replays from the past week.
For something a little different on DirecTV and NESN tune in to Sox Appeal, Friday Night Fenway or Red Sox Classics. Sox Appeal is a new twist on speed dating and reality television. Viewers can follow a single Sox fan as they go on three dates during a game. Each date lasts for two innings. At the end of the 7th inning stretch they choose the date they wish to continue if the date agrees. Friday Night Fenway takes you through batting practice and interviews visiting Celebritites, fans and players. Red Sox Classics reaches deep into the archives to display a former Sox game in a two-hour format.
For the best of high-definition baseball on your HDTV with DirecTV HD tune in to the New England Sports Network (NESN). This is a Boston Red Sox experience outside the Green Monster that is unlike any other.
