Fox Sports New Orleans is a regional sports network that serves Louisiana, East Texas, parts of Mississippi, parts of Alabama, and the Florida Panhandle. [1] Its formation was announced on June 25, 2012, after Fox Sports Networks signed a new long term carriage agreement with the NBA's New Orleans Pelicans. [2] Fox picked up rights to the Pelicans after Cox Sports Television decided not to renew its contract with the team. [3] It launched on October 31, 2012, and aired 75 Pelicans games in its first season. [4]
