CSN ready for Phillies' season

Comcast SportsNet and the Comcast Network will air 105 Phillies regular-season games, with pregame and postgame coverage of each, along with a weekly magazine show.

Coverage of Opening Day begins at 11 a.m. today, with "The Chase Rolls On," a half-hour interview with All-Star second baseman Chase Utley. That is followed by "Phillies Focus" at 11:30 a.m., "SportsRise" at noon, and "Phillies Pregame Live" at 12:30.

The game against Washington airs on CBS3 at 1 p.m., with CSN resuming coverage afterward with "Phillies Postgame Live," followed by "Daily News Live" at 5 p.m. and "SportsNite" at 6.

"Phillies Postgame Live" features manager Charlie Manuel's news conference and reactions from the clubhouse. Former Phillies pitcher Ricky Bottalico provides analysis, along with other guests.

For weeknight games, "Phillies Pregame Live" caps the runup to the game that begins with "Daily News Live," with host Michael Barkann and members of the Daily News sports staff. "DNL" is followed by "SportsNite," leading into "Pregame Live."

Each week on "Phillies Pregame Live", CSN's "On The Pharm" segment looks at the Phillies' minor league system.

Also, each week, "Phillies Clubhouse" airs most Mondays at 7 p.m. and features off-field player profiles and behind-the-scenes stories about the team and its fans, along with segments on great moments in Phillies history. *
