| - The New England Sports Network (or NESN [NESS-en]) is an American regional sports cable and satellite television network that is owned as a joint venture between the Fenway Sports Group (which owns a controlling 80% interest, and is the owner of Boston Red Sox and Liverpool Football Club) and Delaware North (which owns the remaining 20% interest in the network, and owns the Boston Bruins and TD Garden). Headquartered in Watertown, Massachusetts, the network is primarily carried on cable providers throughout New England (except in Connecticut in Fairfield County). NESN is also distributed nationally on satellite providers DirecTV and Dish Network and as NESNNational via select cable companies. NESN is the primary broadcaster of the Boston Red Sox and the Boston Bruins – serving as the exclusive home for all games that are not broadcast by a national network. NESN also carries minor league baseball games, regional college sports events, various outdoor and sports talk shows, and delayed Premier League soccer games. NESN was, for a time, the New England carrier for Fox Sports Networks (before SportsChannel New England joined Fox Sports Net). After that, until early 2006, NESN carried ESPNews during the afternoon and overnight hours. NESN has carried regional Atlantic Coast Conference college basketball games since Boston College joined the conference, including games from Fox Sports Net. NESN was launched on March 21, 1984 as a premium channel; it was converted to a basic cable service in 2001, a model that has since been copied by other companies through their respective launch of new regional sports networks.
