FANZ-TV Network, a newly-launched 24-7 Sports Television Network, announced today that it has reached a one-year broadcast agreement with the arenafootball2 league (af2) for the 2008 season that includes a future two-year option. The network has agreed to pay a broadcast rights fee to the league but the actual financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“By signing the af2 to a network broadcast contract, this brings FANZ-TV much closer to its goal of being recognized as a credible sports television network. The af2 is the upper echelon of what Arena Football is truly about,” said FANZ-TV President/CEO Rod Myers. "This is just another testimony to the mission of the network to promote minor league sports as a whole and to partner with leagues in order to bring great sports entertainment to millions of homes. We feel that this partnership will be mutually beneficial for both parties.”

FANZ-TV also has plans to carry playoff games, conference championships as well as the 2008 ArenaCup Championship live in their entirety. A special season-in-review show will be produced as a lead-in to the postseason af2 action. A weekly series is currently being considered as well.

Wow...free games via internets and a national TV deal. af2 should be getting some good exposure this year. B)

I checked out the Fanz-TV website. It's an interesting concept. It's a sports network (like ESPN or the regionals) that airs all minor league games. Now that is cool. They've got af2, MiLB, minor league hockey...they've even got women's professional football games.
