Dodgers on TV: A whole bunch o' blue
The Dodgers, FSN Prime Ticket and KCAL Channel 9 have pooled together their resources to bring as many at 150 games to the L.A. TV market this season, all in high definition.
Some are subject to ESPN taking a game for a Sunday night national telecast, or Fox grabbing a Saturday game for a regional telecast, as happens every year.
ESPN has targeted six possible Sunday games; Fox has nine on its radar, with more to come possibly.
From our quick scan, it does appears every game will be televised on one network or another.
The key dates to know:
KCAL has six exhibition games, including March 29 from the Coliseum when the Dodgers face the Boston Red Sox at 7:10 p.m. It also has the Friday exhibition against the Red Sox at Dodger Stadium before that. Two more telecasts are from Florida and two more are in Arizona. The first is Saturday, March 8 from Florida against St. Louis (10 a.m.). The last look at Vero Beach will be Sunday, March 9 in a game against Boston (10 a.m.)
Of course, Vin Scully comes back for his 59th season doing all home games and only road games against the NL West foes. The rest of the road games go to Charley Steiner and Steve Lyons, both in their fourth season.
Also, the Dodgers say ESPN plans to show their exhibition game against Atlanta on Friday, Feb. 29 (10:05 a.m.). No word if the Dodgers' two games from China on March 15-16 will have TV coverage.
Here's the list of FSN Prime/Channel 9 games:
