With the new deal with Fox, will coverage be the same outside New Orleans as it was with CST? Does anyone know?

No one knows for sure, but the reasonable assumption is that if you got Rockets games last season on Fox Sports South West and you live in Louisiana or the gulf south, you should probably get Hornets games this season. They might even get Hornets games in parts of Texas since part of FSSW wanting to pick up the Hornets was their contract with the Rockets ending.

This is what I'm concerned about. I wasn't able to watch a single game last year since I moved to Houston. It was so difficult to follow the Hornets. I'm really hoping the Fox Sports contract enables Houstonians to watch games. I already get a Fox Sports Dallas, hopefully I get whatever Fox Sports the Hornets are on.

Thanks for the info. We do get Fox sports Southwest so hopefully we will get the games.

So in Louisiana are we going to be getting Hornets games on Fox Sports SW? Or will there be a new Fox affiliate? I remember an article a while back that made it sound like CST was going to be out completely soon so a Fox Sports Gulf Coast would be great for the Hornets, Saints, and LSU

Under the new agreement, FOX Sports New Orleans will televise approximately 75 regular-season {Hornets games per season, including any games not selected for exclusive distribution by the NBA’s
FOX also announced that its regional sports network currently serving the New Orleans market (FOX Sports Southwest) will be re-launched as “FOX Sports New Orleans” in October to coincide with the start of the Hornets’ 2012-13 season.}
I found this on Hornets Web Site. This sounds good.

Anyone know what the Saints' deal with Cox is like? Seems like it'd be a good idea for Benson to get them both on the same network

My advice is to call your provider. The answer will vary based on info not provided and likely info you do not have. Additionally, the answer is subject to change from time to time.
This FS stuff is complicated. They have feeds, subfeeds, and more complications to provide good regional coverage.
We will likely get some Fox Sports Southwest generic stuff on that is shared in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Oklahoma, and other places. We will likely get stuff not available there, too.
It's not a 'drop-in' necessarily. I've looked into it and the plan is not set, and the general game is complicated.

Yeah it could end up being really good. Going to be a little complicated right now

Just in case anyone missed the other thread, they actually released a few facts today.
