Atlanta Hawks
Some Hawks fans missed out on half of first exhibition game
Instead of Hawks action, they got sports talk for the first half of the game.

Hawks fans looking to watch Monday’s telecast of the exhibition game against the Rockets found themselves out of luck.
Instead, fans who happened to be Xfinity customers and flipped to FanDuel Sports Network to catch the Hawks in action found the “Golic & Golic” talk program but no Hawks game. The Hawks broadcast picked up at the start of the third quarter.
FanDuel Sports announced before the season that it would broadcast three of the team’s exhibition games. The game was also listed to air in the Xfinity guide.
However, it appears that Xfinity customers were left to find other options to watch the first half of Monday’s game.
