According to Rob Parker the Tigers and TV 20 will be airing 15 games. The first game that 20 will pick up is the home opener which will be a simulcast. Otherwise, the schedule hasn’t yet been made available.

There has been no word yet from either the station or the Tigers, and Parker states that calls weren’t returned. So take this information as you please.

Assuming this actually pans out, it is great news for excited Tiger fans who are bummed they can’t see their hometown team. It’s too late to see if the Tigers can extend their streak to 4-0 tonight, or for Justin Verlander’s start on Saturday, but more games is always a good thing. Also, for those that don’t have cable – or at least don’t have FSD – they’ll be able to see games for the first time in 2 years.

UPDATE: Okay, it’s official. The Tigers will have 127 games on television this year. A revised television schedule has yet to be decided. Rod Allen and Mario Impemba will be doing the broadcasts. What happened is that FSN Detroit acquired the rights to 15 additional games – starting in June – that will be aired on TV20 and a network of over-the-air stations.
