At the same time, we had to create programs that met the goals of our partners. Together, we have come up with some very unique opportunities for both sides. Our partners will have the opportunity to exercise their creativity and network with other club members. They will participate in special benefits and entertainment options both inside and outside the Nationwide Arena. In my experience, I've seen two kinds of TV deals in pro sports.
Some teams shy away from broadcasting a majority of their home games.
What I like about our deal with FOX Sports Net Ohio is the number of home games we plan to air. FOX Sports Net Ohio will be our exclusive television provider. Our agreement is for 65 Blue Jackets' games annually, as well as all available Blue Jackets post-season games in the first and second rounds. We will reach 3.9 million homes in the state of Ohio. Of the 65 telecasts we plan on airing, 35-37 will be home games.
