Cox Sports Television will televise 65 New Orleans Hornets games
This upcoming season, 78 Hornets games will be televised either on Cox Sports Television or on national broadcasts involving ESPN, TNT or ABC-TV. CST, a 24-hour regional sports network, announced Tuesday it will televise 65 Hornets' regular-season games.
"We are ecstatic to be able to continue our great relationship with CST in providing 65 regular season games to our fans in Louisiana,"
said Hornets Executive Officer of the Board Chad Shinn.
The Hornets' regular season broadcast schedule, which includes 33 home and 32 road games, will begin with the season opener at Golden State on Oct. 29 and conclude with the season finale at San Antonio on Apr. 15. It will be CST's seventh season televising Hornets games.
Other highlights on the schedule include the home opener against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers (Nov. 1), three games against Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers (Nov. 12, Dec. 23 and Jan. 6), both home games against Shaquille O'Neal and the Phoenix Suns (Dec. 3 and Apr. 8), the lone home game against Paul Pierce and the World Champion Boston Celtics (Feb. 11) and both road games against Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks (Jan. 14 and Apr. 10).
Also returning to CST is The Byron Scott Show, a weekly 30-minute look at the team through the eyes of reigning NBA Coach of the Year.
