Viewing Areas
The viewing area includes Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida and Tennessee. It is, by far, the largest FSN affiliate by area and viewership. As such, the feed is often broken down into several sub-regional feeds for the purposes of adhering to the "home turf" rules belonging to the various professional leagues. For example, Memphis Grizzlies and Nashville Predators games are only seen in Tennessee, most of Kentucky, northern Mississippi, and northern Alabama, while Charlotte Bobcats games are only seen in North and South Carolina. Neither are seen in the remaining portions of Fox Sports South's coverage area, though Predators games occasionally re-air in North Carolina.
In October 2008, Fox decided to break up Fox Sports South into three separate feeds to offer more localized coverage to subscribers, dubbed Fox Sports Carolinas and Fox Sports Tennessee. FSN bills these feeds as separate networks (and websites) from the main Fox Sports South channel, which only serves Georgia and most of Alabama, Kentucky and Mississippi. Fox Sports South has 2 overflow feeds on DirecTV, to avoid additional coverage conflicts.

Famous quotes containing the words viewing and/or areas:
“The happiest youth, viewing his progress through,
What perils past, what crosses to ensue,
Would shut the book, and sit him down and die.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Adults understandably assume that the level of verbal proficiency a five-year-old displays represents his level of proficiency in all areas of functioning—if he talks like an adult, he must think and feel like one. However, five-year-olds,... belie the promise of adult-like behavior with their child-like, impulsive actions.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
