TSN first launched what it then called its "alternate feed" in 1997 as a result of occasional regional blackouts for TSN programming in some areas.

In its original iteration, the alternate feed could only air on analogue cable in specific areas, replacing the national service.

Unlike the alternate feed, TSN2 would also be available in high-definition.

Fox Sports Arizona Plus, a game time only alternate feed of Fox Sports Arizona, was first deployed on Friday April 25, 2008.

These games will be in the preliminary rounds, when ESPN Radio puts the games on an alternate feed to the usual talk radio lineup.

In those areas, the race was not available on DirecTV HD but instead, on an alternate, low-quality feed.

Merge one by one, or, in the technical terms of the state police, by alternate feed.

While referred to on the channel's website as "HDNet Canada", this is not a separate Canadian channel, but an alternate U.S.-based feed.

ESPN3 simulcast the race with an alternate feed of twelve in-car cameras.

Fox Sports Detroit Plus is a game-time only alternate feed of Fox Sports Detroit.
