That's because NBC has recently acquired the rights to broadcast them but Fox had it prior to that. That's the reason why they turned the FoxSoccer channel into Fox Sports 1.

The slate of sports event programming on Fox Sports 1 will include but not be limited to the following:

College athletics - several live college sporting events will air, most notably college football and basketball games from the Big East,[13] Big 12, Conference USA and Pac-12 athletic conferences of the NCAA
International soccer - FS1 will carry matches from the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, and CONCACAF Champions League through Fox Sports' existing broadcast rights with those organizations.
Boxing - weekly boxing events produced by Golden Boy Promotions will air on Monday nights.
Mixed martial arts - FS1 will offer live Ultimate Fighting Championship events on Wednesday Nights, as well as live preliminary fights for PPV events on Saturday nights
Motor sports - several motor sporting events will carry over from Speed, including coverage of live practices and qualifying from the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, live races from the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, and Grand Prix motorcycle racing from the Moto2 and Moto3 classes as well as the MotoGP World Championship.[14]

Future live events
Major League Baseball - Beginning in 2014, FS1 will include Major League Baseball coverage, with regular season games (one per week) and select post-season games airing on FS1 beginning in 2014; as a result, MLB regular season coverage on the Fox network will be reduced to 12 weeks beginning in 2014.[8][15]
NASCAR - some NASCAR coverage will also migrate from Fox to FS1 in 2015, with 7 live Sprint Cup races and 14 live Nationwide Series races airing per-year on FS1 as part of Fox Sports' new agreement with NASCAR that runs thru 2024; the live races will expand on the NASCAR programming carrying over from Speed to FS1.[1][16]
FIFA soccer - beginning with the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, FS1 will air coverage of FIFA championship events, including the Men’s and Women’s World Cup tournaments; the deal, which runs through 2021, succeeds FIFA's relationship with ABC and ESPN that ends in 2014.
USGA golf - FS1 will also air coverage of United States Golf Association championship events, among them the U.S. Open and U.S. Women's Open, as part of a 12-year deal that will run from 2015 thru 2026, succeeding the USGA's long-term relationships with NBC Sports and ESPN.[17]
United SportsCar Racing - Both FS1 and FS2 will air United SportsCar Racing events as part of a five-year deal between 2014 and 2018. Details of the coverage (including the 12 Hours of Sebring and 24 Hours of Daytona) will be announced. [18]
FIA Formula E Championship - FS1 will air coverage of the FIA Formula E Championship starting in 2014. [19]

Fox Sports 1
Starts: August 17, 2013.

Live Games: Fox Sports 1 will take over the Fox Saturday Game of the Week package starting next April. They'll own the rights to two of the League Division Series, and possibly air some games from whichever LCS Fox has rights to in any particular year. Otherwise, the network is counting on a huge package of Big 12 and Pac-12 (along with some Conference USA) college football games, as well as basketball from the new Big East Conference, to carry it for much of the year. They'll also be devoting time to UFC and boxing. The UEFA Champions League and CONCACAF Gold Cup head Fox's diminished soccer programming, though they will have rights to the World Cup in 2018 and 2022.

Studio Shows: Fox Sports Live is the network's flagship program. They'll air nightly against the 11 p.m. ET SportsCenter seven days a week. They'll also have studio shows devoted to the NFL (Fox Football Daily), soccer (Fox Soccer Daily) and NASCAR (NASCAR Victory Lane, which carries over from the SPEED Channel). On Saturday, the network will air Fox College Saturday, a two-hour pre-game show which goes head-to-head with College Gameday. In 2014, the network will launch a nightly MLB studio show.

Other Stuff: Regis Philbin hosts Crowd Goes W!ld, a daily sports debate show described as an "alternative" version of the format you're used to seeing. The network will also air the documentary series Being, and hit reality entry The Ultimate Fighter, which had aired on FX for the past few seasons.

Spinoff Networks: Oddly enough, all of the would-be spinoff networks (Fox Soccer, SPEED) are leaving the air to make room for FS1. There are rumors of a Fox Sports 2 in the works, but for now they remain just rumors.

Public face of the network: The network debuted themselves with a ton of faces from their roster of broadcast stars. Erin Andrews has a role on the network, and she's likely the biggest name of anyone appearing on FS1.

Actual face of the network: FS1 is probably hoping it's Jay Onrait and Dan O'Toole. Hired away after spending years as the most popular sports anchors in Canada, Onrait and O'Toole are -- along with Charissa Thompson and an eclectic panel that includes former tennis star Andy Roddikk -- responsible with taking on not only SportsCenter, but now Olbermann. This is considered ironic because Onrait/O'Toole are considered the contenders for the old Olbermann/Patrick throne.

The good/bad/ugly: None of us have, obviously, seen much of what Fox Sports 1 is going to look like, so we'll refrain on actually commenting about their programs. I've heard surprisingly good things about Regis' show, despite the title. I remain a bit of a skeptic on it. Rumors of Jason Whitlock-hosted debate show screams disaster, however. Fox Sports Live seems like the network's best bet at success, with Fox Football Daily as the safest.

Where they stand in the sports media world: Though NBCSN has bulked up, FS1 is everyone's desired contender for the throne. A lot will ride on upcoming NBA rights negotiations. Nobody believes Fox won't be a player at that table, and many believe that the NBA may retain a partnership with ESPN and launch a new one with Fox at the same time. NBC Sports Network launched gradually, but Fox Sports 1 is launching BIG. That's how Fox Sports has always operated, and it's almost always been successful. Will it work on a 24/7/365 scale?

ESPN
Started: September 7, 1979

Live Games: What don't they have? Monday Night Football, The BCS title game (and the playoff system replacing it), NBA regular season and playoffs, MLB regular season and one playoff game, the Home Run Derby, pretty much every important college basketball game prior to mid-March. They also have, every major tennis tournament, a piece of some of golf's majors, the X Games, and the 2014 World Cup.

Studio Shows: SportsCenter, Baseball Tonight, NBA Tonight, NFL Primetime, Sunday NFL Countdown, Monday Night Countdown, NASCAR Now, Outside the Lines, ESPN FC (coming soon)

Other Stuff: First Take, Pardon the Interruption, Numbers Never Lie, SportsNation, Dan Le Betard is Highly Questionable. Coming soon: Olbermann, a late-night talk show hosted by the former SportsCenter anchor.

Spinoff Networks: ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN Classic, ESPNNews, WatchESPN app. ABC is the network's broadcast partner.

Public face of the network: Chris Berman. He quickly became the network's first star back in the 1980's and has remained possibly the biggest name ESPN has ever produced. Still occasionally hosts SportsCenter, just for the yuks every now and then.

Actual face of the network: This is a good question. Though Berman hosts some of the most-watched properties on ESPN (Home Run Derby, the NFL Countdown and Primetime shows) do you see him enough to necessarily think of him as the face of ESPN? I'd go with someone more like Mike Tirico, who not only does play-by-play for the highest-rated show on cable television, but also covers the NBA, golf and tennis for ESPN.

The good: ESPN's commitment to journalism often appears wavering, but Outside the Lines (Bob Ley is the best)and 30 for 30 are unassailable when it comes to two different forms of journalism: the short-form interview and the long-form documentary. Also, ESPN's game coverage is fantastic. It gets lost in the shuffle, but The Worldwide Leader can make a Missouri Valley Conference basketball game in February look as good as Monday Night Football. Also, though many are afraid to say it, Around the Horn and Pardon the Interruption are as formidable an hour of sports talk as you'll find on all of sports TV or radio.

The bad: Do the words "Embrace Debate" mean anything to you? The network has a lot of wasted space of just completely unwatchable sports debate shows. Numbers Never Lie, which was originally launched as a more analytically-inclined talk show, now has become a weird First Take clone that often ends up making about as much sense as a Japanese game show.

The ugly: First Take itself is awful, betraying much of what made ESPN great in the first place. The ESPYs are also a completely silly endeavor.

Where they stand in the sports media world: Numero Uno, and they will be for years to come. Despite the challenges from Fox Sports 1 and NBC Sports Network (and they will be challenges), ESPN will be king for the foreseeable future. They are the network that's on in the bar. They are the network that's on next to CNN in your college cafeteria. They are the default. It takes a long time to take down the default. Everyone else is just getting started.

Wake.
Fox got the pretty snowbunnies on deck but I think I'ma end up riding with ESPN for content all day. I don't give a fukk about some Regis talkshow. And I don't play favorites concerning actual games, wherever the most entertaining game is I'll watch whether CBS, FOX, ESPN etc.
