FSN Pittsburgh (sometimes referred to as "Fox Sports Pittsburgh"), is a cable channel controlled by Fox Sports Net. FSN Pittsburgh started out as KBL, which was owned by Prime Network. It was a network of Prime SportsChannel America when Prime and SportsChannel America merged. In 1996, Fox Sports Net bought out Prime SportsChannel and changed KBL to FSN Pittsburgh.

In 2006, News Corporation gave FSN Pittsburgh to Liberty Media, in a stock swap between the two companies of the DirecTV stock.
