- Football Network
The Football Network was a network that covered all aspects of
American football , including the NFL,college football ,high school , and varioussemi-pro and indoor leagues.The network's headquarters was in
Baton Rouge, Louisiana , and the network had a "soft launch" in August 2003 in a few markets. In its first year, TFN covered college games on theDivision I-AA and lower levels, plus a few high school games.Mounting costs and very low distribution, combined with the NFL launching their network,
Fox Sports Net launching their College Sports suite, and the higher profile launch ofCSTV , doomed TFN, and it went away quietly in the spring of 2004 owing ex-employees, vendors, andLouisiana Public Broadcasting millions of dollars.TFN is one of the few nationwide TV networks in the
United States that has ever been owned by anAfrican-American .Personalities
