Since Sav was doubting the long term validity of this channel if they don't obtain quality programming and Weso was speaking highly of it:
Yesterday fox announced that they cut a deal with the USGA and signed a contract bringing golf to fox starting in 2015. US open, amateur open, senior open etc.
if Fox can sign the Thursday night NFL programming away from ESPN they may actually have a chance.
ESPN doesn't have Thursday Night NFL programming, that belongs to NFL Network which isn't going to give that up.Originally Posted by Krgrecw
CBS has rights to Sunday AFC games (where AFC team is away during interconfererence matches)
FOX has rights to Sunday NFC games (opposite of top)
NBC has rights to Sunday Night which isn't going to be given to a cable channel.
NFL Network has rights to all Thursday games with the exception of the opening night game.
ESPN has rights to Monday Night Football and that's it.
Also, that deal with USGA isn't a huge move. The US Open which is going bring more ratings than Amateur or Senior, is only a 4 day event on a 365 day calendar.

Also, where the hell is that post on Fox Sports 1 I made that you're referring to?
I can't find the thread or post. Are my BBQ mods censoring me now?

Im pumped.
It has U.S. Open, Champions League, Europa, Monday night boxing, Wed. night UFC, UFC prelims, Saturday Baseball, playoffs,
Can't wait. So much better than watching Red Sox/Yanks play 3x per week.
So is network FOX moving the Saturday Game of the Week to Fox Sports 1?
and who said Fox Sports 1 is getting MLB playoffs? As of right now the only playoff MLB series FOX gets are whichever Championship Series TBS isn't getting and World Series.
EDIT: Just read it.
So I guess this means network FOX is going to be progressively dropping MLB from the mother channel and putting it on FS1.

BTW FS1 may be headed to the graveyard if the ala carte cable incentives goes through.
In the end what decides if this is a boom or bust is adoption rates. FS1 has to be watched enough to be a necessity similar to ESPN. Though i have to admit, the joy of hearing Donovan McNabb mumble will be fun. Don't think it will last though, if ESPN gets pressured I think they'll squish FS1 by poaching their scheduling or other things.

I don't remember speaking highly of foxsports1. I just know that they want to compete with ESPN. And that could mean that eventually their forums may morph with social networks, like their competition seems to be doing.
thank you weso1!
Is weso1 SAV's alternate personality?

Was I drunk? I thought Weso was mentioning the network and Sav was doubting it in a thread earlier in the week?
Btw Sav, NFL is strongly rumored to be putting the Thursday night NFL games on the market. NFL would make more by selling the package for hundreds of millions, if not billions than collecting whatever amount the channel gets from subscribers.
You are correct,Kgrew.
Correct. Word is that all teams like the Braves that have their own FOX regional channel with have some of those games moved to FS1 and that all but about 8 of the FOX Saturday games will be on FS1. All but about 8 of their NASCAR races will be on FS1. College football will be on FS1. I don't know why people are doubting if FS1 will stick. It will stick because of them putting all this live programming on it. The cable networks will have no choice but to pay the higher asking price FS1 is asking to carry it. Remember NFL Network started out the same way with the cable networks balking at the asking price but they eventually caved when customers started missing live games.
FOX Sports 1 is seriously going to have playoff baseball? Aside from that I am not watching soccer trash or any of the lame ass college football games they air. Could care less about anything else they might show.
I doubt playoff games. But regular season games. And you don't like college football? Weird.
I don't care about the games they will show. There are plenty of good college games available through the ESPN's, CBS, and ABC.

I think they show some really good Pac-12 and Big Ten games. And I would guess that on FS1 they would so Big 12, C-USA games as well since those are games that they show on the regional FOX channels.
fox sports 1 will be the polar opposite of ESpN. I know many, many people turned off by ESPN and Thier lovefest with SEC football.
