NASHVILLE FANS TO GET GOOD LOOK AT FIRST-YEAR PREDATORS

          The NHL expansion Nashville Predators have reached
     separate agreements with Fox Sports South (FSS) and WNAB-TV
     to televise 45 Predators games during the team's inaugural
     '98-99 season.  FSS will be the club's exclusive cable
     carrier for the team's first three NHL seasons, while WNAB-
     TV will serve as the team's flagship station of the
     Predators TV Network in a multi-year deal.  Under terms of
     the deal, FSS will carry 30 Predators games and WNAB-TV will
     carry 15 games during the upcoming '98-99 season
     (Predators).  In Nashville, John Glennon reported that one
     of the reasons for the "delay" of the TV deals was the
     Predators' desire to "handle all advertising, rather than
     giving the rights to the stations."  In the end, the
     Predators and FSS "compromised, with both sides handling
     some of the advertising."  The Predators will handle "the
     majority of advertising" sales on WNAB (TENNESSEAN, 8/19).
