Bright House Sports Network is a 24-hour regional sports network in the Tampa Bay area of Florida. The station began in 2004 and is owned by Bright House Networks, seen exclusively on their systems on cable channel 47.

Programs include "The Toyota Sports Connection," a nightly show featuring scores, highlights and interviews, "Lightning Strikes" with host Joe Girvan, "The Baysball Show", "Beef 'O' Brady's High School Scoreboard", "Hooked on Fishing", "Press Box" and "Xtra Point." The station also televises basketball, baseball, and softball games of the University of South Florida, as well as baseball games in the Florida State League. Bright House Sports Network also broadcasts most home games and an occasional road game of the Arena Football League's Tampa Bay Storm. The announcing team for Storm games generally consists of Drew Fellios and former NFL punter Mark Royals.

In addition, Bright House Sports Network also airs nationwide sports programs from sources such as ESPN Plus and America One; during the overnight hours, it simulcasts ESPNEWS (which is available in full to digital subscribers).

The channel was originally established as Catch 47 (after its cable slot); the channel switched to its current name in September 2008.

BHSN programming on other channels

On March 25, 2007, SportsNet New York (a similar regional sports network in the New York metropolitan area) re-aired then-Catch 47's coverage of a Storm-New York Dragons game from two days earlier. SNY opted to broadcast the game straight from the Catch 47 broadcast, neither editing any part of the coverage (aside from commercials), nor dubbing the game with SNY's own announcers.
