Washington, D.C. (March 21, 2008) -- FSN Detroit has signed long-term deals to offer local broadcasts of the Detroit Tigers, Pistons and Red Wings, the majority of which will be in High-Definition.

The regional sports network said this year's coverage will include 152 regular-season Tiger games, including 103 in high-def.

FSN Detroit has provided coverage of the three teams for several years, but there has been talk of a rival network competing for their services.

This new agreement is expected to run for 10 years or more and will give FSN Detroit exclusive local broadcast rights.

The network said it will broadcast 300 Tiger, Red Wings and Pistons' games annually.
