MSG Plus

MSG Plus (known on air as MSG+) is a regional sports network in 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. The network was rebranded on March 10, 2008.

Like its sister network, MSG, it is operated by Madison Square Garden, Inc. (which was spun off from Cablevision in 2009) under the banner of MSG Media. It was formerly known as FSN New York and Fox Sports Net New York as an affiliate of Fox Sports Networks, and SportsChannel New York prior to that.

MSG+ is home of the NHL's New Jersey Devils and New York Islanders, and MLL's Long Island Lizards.

MSG+ also serves an overflow purpose when multiple local teams that would be shown on MSG play at the same time, much like MSG does for MSG+. MSG's teams which may also appear as MSG+ telecast are the NHL's New York Rangers and MLS's New York Red Bulls. In most of upstate New York, MSG+ carries a large portion of Buffalo Sabres games.

MSG is also the television home of the NBA's New York Knicks, WNBA's New York Liberty, and the Sabres. Although MSG has nine broadcasting zones, MSG+ has only eight. The one remaining zone is the Northwest Region of Pennsylvania, where MSG+ is not available, and all Buffalo Sabres games play on the main MSG channel. (Knicks games and other hockey games not involving the Sabres are blacked out in this region.) Until recently, Western New York also did not receive MSG+, and any conflict with the Sabres and Knicks (again, other hockey games are blacked out in this zone) was resolved by placing the Knicks on an overflow channel such as Time Warner Cable SportsNet.
