Blacked out
If you were planning to stay home tonight and watch the Wild Things play the Chillicothe Paints on Fox Sports Pittsburgh, then it's time for Plan B.
The first casualty of tonight's less-than-ideal weather forecast is FSN's television broadcast. The game will not be televised.
Wild Things officials decided Thursday that the risk of losing money by bringing in a Fox remote truck, production crew and on-air talent for a game that might not be played was too great, so the broadcast was called off.
The game was to be shown live on Fox Sports Pittsburgh and Fox College Sports Pacific (Channel 264 on Comcast) and replayed on the latter throughout the weekend.

I wonder what this will do for public relations?
The game got in with out any rain delays.
I wonder if the advertisers will get their credit on diamond cards?
Twenty leaps backward.
Will Fox sports schedule the Things in future years when management cancels out at the last minute?
Thanks for posting this on the blog as no where on the Things web site did they mention this and when I tuned in the to ball game it only said on FSP that the game would not be broadcast.
actually the Wild Things did update their website early Thursday morning. It was the top news story under the last day's game story.
