The Beginning
The WSN franchise launched in August 2002, and soon became a leader in Wisconsin basketball coverage. Originally the network focused mostly on basketball, mainly gearing towards boys prep basketball but coverage of other types could be found as well. There was a subscription service, dubbed Courtside, that offered in-depth player ranking and extensive analysis into teams and conferences. The launch also featured a message board. The initial message board was limited in features. It offered forums for basketball and football, and dedicated forums for each conference in the WIAA minus the M&O conference due to improper usage.

Famous quotes containing the word beginning:
“Time has no divisions to mark its passage, there is never a thunderstorm or blare of trumpets to announce the beginning of a new month or year. Even when a new century begins it is only we mortals who ring bells and fire off pistols.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“During the long ages of class rule, which are just beginning to cease, only one form of sovereignty has been assigned to all men—that, namely, over all women. Upon these feeble and inferior companions all men were permitted to avenge the indignities they suffered from so many men to whom they were forced to submit.”
—Mary Putnam Jacobi (1842–1906)
