FSN Southwest Reaches Agreement with Dallas Cowboys to Telecast Cowboys Programming

FSN
Southwest and the Dallas Cowboys announced an agreement that adds a series of
Cowboys programming to the network’s lineup for the 2007 NFL season and
designates FSN Southwest as the regional cable and satellite television home
for Dallas Cowboys programming.

From
training camp through the regular season and playoffs, FSN Southwest will
follow the Cowboys with daily and weekly shows covering

America’s Team,
plus monthly legends specials profiling former Cowboy stars.

The
extensive coverage kicks off with training camp updates from

San Antonio on nights following the network’s
major league baseball postgame shows. Throughout the season, viewers in the
network’s coverage area will be treated to game night wrapup shows, a weekly
Cowboys Insider player’s show, regular Cowboys updates from the team’s Valley
Ranch headquarters, and live coverage of coach Wade Phillips’ weekly press
conference.

“This is a
milestone agreement for us,” said FSN Southwest Senior Vice President/General
Manager Jon Heidtke. “We’re aligned with one of the most powerful and popular
brands in all of professional sports. The Cowboys resonate with football fans
not only in our region but across the globe. Cowboys fans everywhere will
really benefit from our commitment to covering the team because we’re the
source where die-hard fans can turn to get the most up-to-date and
behind-the-scenes information on their favorite team.”

“This is a
relationship that will benefit all of the parties involved,” said Cowboys Vice
President Jerry Jones, Jr. “FSN Southwest has created a visible impact on the
sports media landscape in our region, and we look forward to this association.
Our coverage will increase because of the reach of FSN Southwest, and in doing
so provide a welcome service to a broad audience of Dallas Cowboys fans.”

FSN
Southwest anchors, former Cowboys players, Cowboys radio voice Brad Sham,
Cowboys insider Mickey Spagnola, and veteran Dallas sportscaster Bill Jones
host the programs. Shows from Valley Ranch originate from a special FSN
Southwest studio set located inside the Cowboys’ facility.
