On July 15, 2010, Fox Sports Midwest signed a new exclusive contract with the St. Louis Cardinals beginning with the 2011 season, ending the team's broadcasts on St. Louis NBC affiliate KSDK (channel 5).[1]
In early 2008, as part of a deal to return the Kansas City Royals to FSN, Fox Sports Kansas City was spun off Fox Sports Midwest as the new FSN affiliate for the Kansas City market. There is also a separate feed for Indiana Pacers and Indiana Fever games called Fox Sports Indiana.
Fox Sports Midwest Plus was launched in October 2011 as an overflow feed. Fox Sports Kansas City and Indiana also have their own versions of Fox Sports Plus.[2]
