Fox Sports North is an American regional sports network.  It serves Minnesota, Wisconsin, northern Iowa, Upper Michigan along the Wisconsin border and the eastern parts of North Dakota and South Dakota.  The network is operated as an affiliate of Fox Sports Networks.  It is owned by Fox Cable Networks, a unit of the Fox Entertainment Group division and 21st Century Fox.  

The network also has three separate feeds.  The "metro" feed is broadcast in the Twin Cities and surrounding areas.  The "outstate" feed serves the rest of Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Iowa and extreme western Wisconsin.  The "Wisconsin" feed service area is fairly self-explanatory.
