I don't understand why a team who is fighting to get fans interested in the Hornets doesn't show preseason games locally. I think the preseason would have been a great opportunity to get the new announcing team acclimated with players on the new FoxSportsWherever

yeah, they really dropped the ball on this shite.
Preseason is good for getting people ready for the real season to begin. It gets fans used to players and play styles. And good point about the new announcing crew but also probably a new production crew and camera crew as well.

From what 247 was told by David Wesley, they are still figuring out what shows they are even going to do. Broadcasting a game is not as simple as sending a few cameramen and commentators to the arena. On top of that, it sounds like FoxSports is still in negotiations with the local providers, so if preseason ratings were below expectations, it could effect the price they are negotiating.
Hopefully next year everything will be set up for preseason Voodoo games.
