The NBA regular season has begun and the Indiana Pacers host the Memphis Grizzlies tonight at 6 PM. The game will be televised on Fox Sports Southeast.
By the way, here’s a suggestion for bar owners and managers: Make a list of the channel numbers for the HD versions of channels on which sports are commonly shown, and tape it near your register for easy access by your bartenders. That way, when someone requests to watch a particular game, if they know what channel it’s on, your bartender won’t have to spend 10 minutes searching through the channel guide.
That’ll do it for this post. Back tomorrow with more news.
