In the return of Tip-tober, we'll feature various programs, including two Cavaliers preseason games, two Cavaliers Showcase replays, one Cavaliers Roundtable, Cavaliers Live: Season Preview, and Access Cavaliers.

New in October, Cavs fans will also get a unique behind-the-scenes look at the FOX Sports Ohio Cavs broadcast team through a series of promotional vignettes called ‘Off Mic.’ Each new piece will give an inside look at the career beginnings, highlights and personal perspectives of a Cavs broadcaster as he/she made her way to becoming part of the FOX Sports Ohio family.

FOXSportsOhio.com will also help fans get ready for Cavs season. NBA and Cavs expert Sam Amico will host weekly online chats at the start of Cavs training camp. Readers can also look for Amico’s NBA team previews and training camp and season previews.

FOXSportsOhio.com Exclusive With Dusty Baker

Hall of Fame writer and FOXSportsOhio.com Reds feature writer Hal McCoy sat down for a brief, exclusive one-on-one interview with Reds manager Dusty Baker – Baker’s first talk with the media since his bout with an irregular heartbeat and a mini-stroke.

“The first thing he said to me Thursday was, “Do you know I’m the luckiest man on earth to be in the hospital when that happened (the mini-stroke)? Maybe not lucky, but blessed.”
He was seated in his office swivel chair making plans for his return to the team Monday in St. Louis, wishing it was tomorrow, wishing it was today.”

BTN & College Partners Enjoy Reds Game via Fan Express

As the Cincinnati Reds make a push to the playoffs, and fans flock to Great American Ball Park to watch them play, FOX Sports Ohio’s Fan Express to Reds Country has been the coveted ride to get them there. Not only have groups of Reds fans from all over Cincinnati and Dayton enjoyed trips to the ballpark on the luxury coach, but FOX Sports Ohio has treated college and BTN partners to the Fan Express experience.
On Tuesday, Sept. 4, members from The Ohio State University, including President E. Gordon Gee, attended the Reds game in style. President Gee heard about FOX Sports Ohio's "Bowtie Tuesday" Reds telecats, where analyst Chris Welsh wears a bowtie during the game. Being an avid bowtie wearer himself, he wanted to attend a Tuesday game and participate in "Bowtie Tuesday". The Fan Express brought in the group from OSU’s Columbus campus, and Gee enjoyed a booth visit and was featured during the telecast.




"The Fan Express helped create the perfect “night at the ballpark” for Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee and 35 Ohio State students who wanted to break away from their studies to enjoy the spirit of Great American Ball Park.  After enjoying door-to-door service, popcorn, hotdogs and crackerjacks, it’s not surprising that we received wonderful feedback from those students who participated in the event. After returning to campus, students felt like Hollywood stars after their classmates saw them repeatedly on Fox Sports Ohio."
-Jim Lynch, Senior Director of Media Relations, Office of The Ohio State University Communications

"FOX Sports Ohio was kind enough to offer the Cincinnati Bearcats Department of Athletics the chance to experience the Fan Express. We were able to take that opportunity to thank our staff who work so hard behind the scenes and treat them to an incredible night. Many thanks go out to FOX Sports Ohio for the wonderful experience."
