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:
“Beguile the time, and feed your knowledge
With viewing of the town.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“If a walker is indeed an individualist there is nowhere he can’t go at dawn and not many places he can’t go at noon. But just as it demeans life to live alongside a great river you can no longer swim in or drink from, to be crowded into safer areas and hours takes much of the gloss off walking—one sport you shouldn’t have to reserve a time and a court for.”
—Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
