why was it such a big deal the two canadian dudes left? i saw that even the president mentioned it :laugh: were they major celebrities or something?



as for the thread, not until they get NFL/NBA, those are the two big leagues lets face it. it could be a healthy 2nd place though.

Yeah, I think that Fox Sports will be a worthy opponent for ESPN. They have that Rupert Murdoch money backing them, so they aren't going away soon.

They already have long deals with soccer (English Premier League), and UFC, so they will have lots of white eyes starting to switch from ESPN over to them. Their regional sports networks already have deals with NBA, MLB, and NHL, and they will have many NFL type shows on the channel since they have that contract in place with the NFL. They also have a few college conferences locked up (Big East among others)

They are in the works to put bids on the NBA when Turner's contract ends in a few years (2016).

ESPN has already said they are taking Fox Sp. 1 as the biggest threat, and will be suring up their programming starting in August.

If anyone has a chance to compete with ESPN, its Fox Sports 1 (with Fox Sports 2 already planned for next year)

EPL going to NBC Sports in August. Main reason why FoxSports 1 is created.

However, Fox Sports need to get the big conferences in their channel. They need find some way to lock down the Pac 12 and Big 10 once their contract with ESPN is up.

fox sports has the pac-12 and big 12 already (split with ESPN), along with big east basketball
they aint getting the SEC, but the Big Ten's contract expires in 2016

The slate of sports programming on Fox Sports 1 will initially include college football and basketball games from the Big East,[9] Big 12, Conference USA and Pac-12 athletic conferences of the NCAA, soccer matches from the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, and CONCACAF Champions League along with rights to the Men’s and Women’s FIFA World Cup tournaments, Ultimate Fighting Championship events and live fights, and Grand Prix motorcycle racing from the Moto2 and Moto3 classes as well as the MotoGP World Championship.[10] Fox Sports 1 will also gain rights to regular season Major League Baseball Saturday games and select post-season games beginning in 2014, and select NASCAR events including Sprint Cup events starting as early as 2015 (along with rights to qualifying and practice sessions).

My bad. Got NBC and Fox mixed up. Champions League is on Fox, and why they have Gus Johnson on there now. I thought EPL was going there too.

In Dallas, From Cleveland
Maybe in Canada.....

I just can't see it here though, I don't think I've watched a sports news show on Fox Sports. Do they have a signature show a la Sportscenter?

Only time I watch Fox Sports is to watch local sports teams play like the Mavs and Rangers :manny:

She's taken over as hottest female on the network in recent times.
