    That is what Fox does best, find something and target the opposite audience. That's another reason I think they're going hard for MMA and probably will try to get a bunch of soccer stuff back from NBC.

    There was concern that the channel would't be available on DirecTV, Dish, and Time Warner Cable. A deal was reached today, so that channel will be available on those carriers.

    Of course. They can't air things tjey don't have rights to that espn does.

    I bet they'll try hard for NBA though when the ESPN/ABC contract expires after next season. Im praying NBC gets the NBA back and brings back Roundball Rock.

    They had no choice but to get something worked out.

    Unfortunately it runs through NBA Finals 2016.

    NBC should be ALL over it. Need to drop Hockey, give it to Fox Sports 1 and have NBA on NBCSN and NBC.

    Unfortunately FOX is keeping MLB rights and expanding their playoff coverage again. TBS will now only carry half the DS games like ESPN was doing pre-2007.

    Everything should just be on Turner Sports. Would make life sooooo much easier.

    Fox Sports 1 has been unwatchable for me, for the post part. Their daily football show is decent but their live 3 hour sports show is absolutely horrible.

    The Canadians are real sweet. UFC show is good. The best thing about Fox S1 is going to be the live games though.

    Early returns seem like trash to me. Actually worse than the replaced Speed Network for total day. Whoops.

    If you're relying on events to carry the station, then why even launch? Could just use the existing networks for that, IMO. They needed to do a credible job with original programming, or they're wasting everyone's time.

    Told you it was going to be pretty rough starting out.

    They have no real sports airing other than boxing and UFC, which only works for guys like gilesfan.

    They have college football games, but they're the same games that were gonna be shown on FSN anyways. Pac-12 and Big 10.

    There's so many animations going on during a show. It's like CNBC with the bottom line, side bar, and 20 different things.

    They're not getting baseball until next year, and CL soccer is only going to be one-two days out of the week.

    And LOL. Conference USA football? Seriously?

    Yes, I'm not a slave to Big conference games and find C-USA to be a way more enjoyable conference. (outside of Ole Miss/Vandy last night)

    Really enjoyed the conference USA games and the UFC shows. I couldn't care less about non events as I don't watch talk shows or highlight shows on any network.
