NBC Sports' plans for its Houston RSN are taking shape, as the company has hired a management team for Comcast SportsNet Houston and developed a programming strategy beyond games involving the Astros and Rockets, which own the majority of the channel. The RSN, which launches in October, sublicensed 11 Conference USA football games from CSS, including three appearances by the Univ. of Houston, the Univ. of Memphis and Southern Miss. The network is seeking distribution in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas and New Mexico. CSN Houston President & GM Matt Hutchings has solidified his management team, which will include Timothy Brown as VP/Production and Exec Producer; Joseph Ward as VP/Operations & Engineering; Donna White as VP/Finance & HR; and Helen Wilson as VP/Marketing.
