MSG – A Word about the TV Channel

Owned by a corporate spin-off of the Madison Square Garden Company, MSG Networks, Inc., MSG is an American regional cable and satellite TV network as well as a radio service. Formerly known as the Madison Square Garden Network, MSG was launched in 1969. The network has since been broadcasting live games, talk shows, and series about New York City sports teams.

Popular teams featured on MSG are:

• New York Rangers—NHL

• New York Red Bulls—MLS

• New York Islanders—NHL

• New York Knicks—NBA

• New Jersey Devils—NHL

• New York Buffalo Sabres—NHL

• New York Giants—NFL

• New York Riptide—NLL

For a brief overview of the network’s origins, let us rewind back to 1969 when the TV network aired an NHL hockey game between the New York Rangers and Minnesota North Stars. It was right then that the network earned its unique standing by becoming the very first North American regional sports network. The channel was carried by Manhattan Cable Television under a 1-year 125 event deal, yet it remained a nameless entity. However, fast forward to 1980, the TV network began to use its full name—Madison Square Garden Network, as well as the abbreviated “MSG Network”. Soon after, MSG snowballed its way to the success it has secured over the many years since.
