MSG Sportsnet (MSGSN, formerly MSG Plus) is an American regional sports network owned by MSG Entertainment; it operates as a sister channel to MSG Network. The network serves the New York City metropolitan area, whose reach expands to cover the entire state of New York, Northern New Jersey, Southwestern Connecticut and Northeastern Pennsylvania; MSG Sportsnet carries sports events from several of the New York area's professional sports franchises, as well as college sports events.
The channel was first established in 1976 by Cablevision as Cablevision Sports 3; the channel later rebranded as SportsChannel New York, and became the charter affiliate of an eponymous chain of regional sports networks. The channel became a sister to MSG Network in 1995 after Cablevision acquired the Madison Square Garden company. In 1998, the channel—along with the remainder of the SportsChannel chain—was relaunched as part of Fox Sports Networks, later becoming FSN New York. In March 2008, the channel rebranded as MSG Plus to closer align it with its parent channel; the service later dropped FSN programming.
