Also this spring, FSO is producing a new show called Access Reds on Wednesdays through March 18. The 30-minute program "will take Reds fans behind the scenes, telling stories off the field." After Opening Day, Reds Access will air monthly. Charlie Walter will host the show with "a rotation of co-hosts to include other FOX Sports Ohio Reds broadcasters and Reds personnel," says the FSO announcement.
FSO will broadcast the Reds Opening Day game against the St. Louis Cardinals at 4:10 p.m. Thursday, March 26, from Great American Ball Park. FSO has not announced a Cincinnati over-the-air TV partner, or its regular season TV schedule. Last year FSO broadcast all 162 Reds games.
