Looks like Paul Allen maybe getting ready for the Pacific Northwest Fox Sports Plus launch. Hope he doesn't find out about our high priced new office space. ***************************************************************** February 04, 1999: Blazers Eye Final PPV Year Portland, Ore.-The National Basketball Association lockout has not deterred the Portland TrailBlazers from offering a truncated package of pay-per-view games to subscribers. But the shortened season could be the last for the team's decade-long PPV NBA package: Sources said the team may look to move its games to the potentially more lucrative Fox Sports Northwest regional-sports network beginning next year. The Blazers and local cable operators have had a lot of past success with the package. However, the team-which is beginning its 16th season of offering PPV games- may go the way of several other NBA teams in looking for more guaranteed money from regional-sports networks, rather than relying on more risky PPV. While the terms of the current deal are unclear, sources said the team could reach out to Fox Sports Northwest if this year's shortened season does not perform well. Representatives from the Blazers did not return calls seeking comment. Fox Sports Northwest, which has 2.5 million subscribers, would only say that it would welcome the opportunity to offer Blazers games. · 2/4/99
