CN8 shuts down Boston operations.

[Maureen Carney]

CSN is indeed picking up CN8 sports that don't conflict with Celtics. This includes several BU and BC hockey games, the MA high school hockey tournament, candelpin bowling, and the out-of-market college sports the company is contractually bound to air. No AHL on the scheudle as of now. I'm not sure if CSN is getting any minor league baseball come the spring - I've only seen the 1Q 2009 schedule. It's actually coming at a good time as FSN will be phasing out original programming such as "Best Damn Sports Show Period" within the next year.

Most of the college stuff CN8 aired was out-of-the-region CAA stuff (maybe a Northeastern game would pop up thanks to that package on occasion) and the occasional AHL game.
