The team announced the television broadcast schedule, and 75 of the Bucks’ 82 regular season games can be seen on either WCGV-TV (Channel 24) in Milwaukee, or Fox Sports Net North, the Bucks cable television partner.
Games on My-24 (formerly known as UPN-24) will include 31 of the Bucks 41 road games, including the season-opener on Nov. 1 at Detroit. FSN North coverage begins with opening night at the Bradley Center on Nov. 4, when as Milwaukee plays host to the Sacramento Kings.
The only games not televised are five afternoon contests and the home game against Memphis on Dec. 8. ESPN will pick up the Bucks-Pistons game Feb. 2 in Detroit.
Back behind the mic are veteran Jim Paschke, calling the action for his 21st year, along with Jon McGlocklin, back for his 31st season as color analyst. FSN plans on offering a pre-game and post-game show called "Bucks Live" with each cable broadcast.
So check your local listings, but add it all up, and that’s 35 games on the Bucks Television Network (My24) and 40 games on cable (FSN North).
(Editor’s note: Bob Brainerd does sideline work for the Bucks telecasts on FSN North).
Bob currently does play-by-play at Time Warner Cable Sports 32, calling Wisconsin Timber Rattlers games in Appleton as well as the area high school football and basketball scene. During an earlier association with FS Wisconsin, his list of teams and duties have included the Packers, Bucks, Brewers and the WIAA State Championships.
During his life before cable, Bob spent seven seasons as a reporter and producer of "Preps Plus: The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel High School Sports Show."
And the joke is, Bob has a golf shirt from all four Milwaukee television stations. Sad, but true: Bob has had sports and news anchor/reporter/producer stints at WTMJ, WISN, WDJT and WITI.
His first duty out of college (UW-Oshkosh) was radio and TV work in Eau Claire. Bob spent nearly a decade at WEAU-TV as a sports director and reporter.
You may have heard Bob's pipes around town as well. He has done play-by-play for the Milwaukee Mustangs, Milwaukee Iron, and UW-Milwaukee men's and women's basketball. Bob was the public address announcer for five seasons for both the Marquette men and women's basketball squads. This season, you can catch the starting lineups of the UW-Milwaukee Panther men's games with Bob behind the mic.
A Brookfield Central graduate, Bob's love and passion for sports began at an early age, when paper football leagues, and Wiffle Ball All Star Games were all the rage in the neighborhood.
