From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Defunct regional sports network
The Royals Sports Television Network (RSTN) was a
regional sports network serving the
Kansas City area,
Kansas, western
Missouri,
Nebraska,
Oklahoma, and
Iowa owned by the
Kansas City Royals. The network began operations before the
2003 Major League Baseball season in response to
Fox Sports Midwest's decision to reduce the number of Royals games it broadcast. RSTN had trouble getting widespread carriage by
cable systems in the area and had no
satellite carriage. However, the Royals began the season with good form and RSTN was able to make a deal with Fox Sports Midwest in June to redistribute most of their broadcasts.
[1] RSTN ceased operations after the
2007 season, with the Royals moving to the new channel
Fox Sports Kansas City in
2008.

The Royals Insider weekly magazine show won a Regional
Emmy Award in 2005 for Best Sports Program.
