Fox Sports Northwest No Longer?

Apparently our local sports network is being sold to Liberty Media Corporation as part of a deal to set Rupert Murdoch up with full control of News Corp.  They also get DIRECtv as part of the exchange.

So, any ideas as to what our new network should be branded?  Programming suggestions?  One thing we can all hope for is the swift and sudden end of Matt Morrison's broadcasting career.  He seems like a nice guy, but he has all the charisma and broadcast talents of a brick wall.

Discuss.

FSN has always been the bane of my existence.
Their programmingand on-air talent  is consistently awful and their visual and audio aesthetic is either over the top with explosions and whooshes or junior high A/V club bad. Never any middle ground. Now that I've just moved from Seattle to California, FSN is finally gone? Sweet, cruel fate. How you mock me.

What you said
Even today, FSN strikes me as regional bush league sports programming... and marathon poker shows.

I hope the merger leads to something a little less grating.

How sadly appropriate
FSN strikes me as regional bush league sports programming

Considering that most Seattle sports are more or less bush league (with the possible exception of the Seahawks), FSN's bush league approach was perfect.

I will not miss FSN. Unless something lamer takes its place.

yes, that was a joke
I don't really think Seattle sports are bush league.  Very often.

Wait, doesn't California
have about 3-4 Fox Sports Net affiliates?   I mean, we labor under one, but you've just jumped from that into full-spectrum blanket coverage featuring the execrable Bill Macdonald and Petros Papadakis.  Would you like to watch a baseball game?  Please, hearken to the dulcet tones of Rex F$#Q!^% Hudler.  

Unless you're in NorCal, where you still only have one FSN, but you know...

No More Angie?
The thought of not seeing Angie Mentink on a regular basis makes me sad.

FSN
They don't have to change the initials at all:
Failure Sports Network  
OR
The WB or WBN, Willie Ballgame or Willie Ballgame Network.
