NOTHING BUT NET IN PHILLY: COMCAST ADDS FSN NEWS TO SCHEDULE

          In its attempt to "challenge ESPN," Fox Sports Net has
     "just laid in a big piece of the missing puzzle" with
     Philadelphia's Comcast SportsNet (CSN) picking up the
     11:00pm ET edition of "Fox Sports News Primetime," according
     to Dana Pennett of the PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS.  Beginning
     September 8, CSN will "reconfigure its nightly programming"
     and will bump up the net's "SportsNITE" to 6:30pm ET and
     move the late night sports news "PECO SpotLIGHT" from the
     11:00pm ET slot to 12:00am ET.  CSN President & CEO Jack
     Williams: "Any time you have an opportunity to take
     advantage of someone of Keith Olbermann's caliber, you do
     so.  This 11 p.m. show makes us that much stronger and
     complements our local news and talk by giving fans one of
     the best national sports newscasts available."  The move
     also allows FSN's "Primetime" entry into the nation's
     fourth-largest media market (PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS, 8/31).
