Fox Sports Florida
Through Sun Sports, South Florida can view Miami Heat basketball, as Central and Northern Florida can view Orlando Magic basketball. Ultimately however, Sun Sports and Fox Sports Florida are sister channels, and games can air on either channel depending on who is playing at what time (particularly with the Marlins and Rays, since both teams routinely play at the same time). The two channels do not focus on one region of Florida (it was long rumored that Sun Sports would carry only the North/Central Florida teams, while Fox Sports Florida would carry Miami-area teams) so that the Lightning, Heat, Marlins, Magic, and Florida Panthers are all cable-exclusive.
In 2010, the Miami Marlins moved all their games to Fox Sports Florida, while Tampa Bay had all their games on Sun Sports. Prior to 2009, some Rays games were available on over-the-air stations.
