 Properties included the SportsChannel America networks, Madison Square Garden, and the arena's professional sports franchise tenants, the New York Knicks and New York Rangers.Following the purchase, SportsChannel Chicago abruptly canceled its daily sports news program "The SportsChannel Report" on August 10, resulting in the layoffs of ten staff members (including the program's veteran anchors Jim Blaney, Steve Kashul and Dyrol Joyner).That October, the channel launched "Fox Sports Tonight", a similarly formatted sports news program focusing on local sports, intended to complement Fox Sports Net's national program "Fox Sports News".
