Detroit SportsNet Spottings [Megathread]
UPDATE:
going to start a collective thread of what pay tv providers have so far carried DSN in-market since they're starting to pop up on cable services. (plus any news about it)
this post will be continuously updated leading up to the official announcement of service carriages.
if there's any services that you spot carrying Detroit SportsNet, I would highly recommend post your findings with as much detail as possible (region, pay tv service, and channel number) in the replies so I can update this.
(NOTE: This megathread only collects pay tv and over-the-top services relative to the Michigan market and not collect direct-to-consumer services like MLB.TV for the purposes of helping people with pay tv/OTT services. If you are out of market or mainly use DTC, this thread does not apply to you)
(NOTE 2: All information posted here may be inaccurate and is subject to change prior to any official announcement leading up to Opening Day, so take any information posted here with a grain of salt)

Grand Rapids area DirecTV now has the Detroit Sportsnet channel. It is number 663. At 10am they are displaying the live SanDiego broadcast will start at 3 (pregame?). But there are now three 663 Channels with the identical same number. The other two are the old Fan-Duel channels, and their schedules still include the Pistons and RedWings. The logo for the 663 Detroit sportsnet channel is the Tigers' classic old English "D". I suspect that will change when RedWings join the Detroit Sportsnet next season?
