Which Channel is the Predators Game On?

Game time is 7:00 p.m. Central, and the coverage tonight is on Sports South, not FS-TN, so consult your TV guide or, as usual, call 737-1045 until 6:00 p.m. and ask for Clay, he'd be glad to help you figure out what channel the game is on.

Actually, according to the Preds' website, here's your channel info:

TV: Fox SportSouth (Dish: 452/HD: 9574; Direct TV: 650/HD: 650-1) ; Comcast Nashville 26/1676; Comcast Chattanooga/Cleveland/Knoxville 58/402/1676; Comcast Memphis 830; Charter Nashville 37; AT&T Nashville 729/1729)
