Football Network

Football Network

The Football Network was a network that covered all aspects of American football, including the NFL, college football, high school, and various semi-pro and indoor leagues.

The network's headquarters was in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and the network had a "soft launch" in August 2003 in a few markets. In its first year, TFN covered college games on the Division I-AA and lower levels, plus a few high school games.

Mounting costs and very low distribution, combined with the NFL launching their network, Fox Sports Net launching their College Sports suite, and the higher profile launch of CSTV, doomed TFN, and it went away quietly in the spring of 2004 owing ex-employees, vendors, and Louisiana Public Broadcasting millions of dollars.

TFN is one of the few nationwide TV networks in the United States that has ever been owned by an African-American.
