FSG taking over local TV station, changing broadcast team

As we detailed back in July, it clear that there was a loudly ticking clock on the local cable network that handles the broadcasting of games for the Pittsburgh Penguins. The owner of AT&T Sportsnet Pittsburgh had announced their intention to shutter the station, along with all of their failing regional sports networks.

Luckily, there was an obvious and natural solution for the Penguins to ensure they could get their product out to the consumers, being as Fenway Sports Group also has a branch that operates a RSN up in Boston. Thus, the channel once known as KBL (then Fox Sports, then Root Sports Pittsburgh, then AT&T Sportsnet Pittsburgh) will get yet another rebranding and new name as FSG takes over officially on October 2nd.
