  SportsChannel America at AllExperts
SportsChannel America was a cable television network that existed in the 1980s and early 1990s.
Much like the Comcast deal as well, SportsChannel America was only in a few major markets, and reached only a 1/3 of the households that ESPN did at the time.
Most of the SportsChannel America network of local cable stations were bought up by Fox Sports to create the FSN network of stations in late 1997, although SportsChannel Florida was the last of the SportsChannel America stations to remain on the air.

 HOCKEY; ESPN Is Favored In N.H.L. Appeal - New York Times
In a decision handed down yesterday by the Appellate Division of New York State Supreme Court, SportsChannel America lost its bid to keep the National Hockey League from broadcasting its games over ESPN.
SportsChannel America, which broadcast N.H.L. games for the last four years, argued that it had been deprived of its contractual right of first refusal for this season when the league entered a five-year, $80 million agreement with ESPN.
Upholding that opinion, the appellate court found the agreement on which SportsChannel based its argument to be "too imprecise and ambiguous" and ruled that SportsChannel failed to show irreparable harm.

In 1988, now-defunct SportsChannel America hoped NHL games would help it cobble together a network of fewer than 10 million households.
As to CBS' possible influence on play not starting earlier Sunday to try to avoid afternoon lightning, CBS programmer Rob Correa notes "it was a PGA of America decision" and "had to be made Saturday," when forecasts were still long-range.
Here's how events could keep networks from getting involved in their calls: Take less TV money than they could get and keep control of their event, like The Masters does every year.

In 1996, Comcast purchased the Flyers and Sixers, with the intent of forming a new all-sports network centered around those teams, effectively driving a stake through the heart of PRISM and SportsChannel.
After a year of uncertainty that included plans for PRISM and SportsChannel to become Fox Sports Net channels, Comcast, Liberty Media, and Rainbow came to an agreement.

Instead, my local cable company would pick up a game or two a week and throw it on the public access channel from something called Sportschannel America (I don't know if that even exists anymore).
Even the Stanley Cup finals were on Sportschannel America and not on NBC like they are now.
