Royals Sports Television Network

The Royals Sports Television Network (RSTN) was a regional sports network owned by the Kansas City Royals, broadcasting to a multi-state area. Launched before the 2003 MLB season due to reduced Royals game coverage by Fox Sports Midwest, RSTN faced distribution challenges with cable and satellite providers. However, a deal was struck with Fox Sports Midwest in June 2003 to redistribute most of its broadcasts. RSTN ceased operations after the 2007 season, and the Royals transitioned to Fox Sports Kansas City in 2008.
