FYI...one of the reasons why Fox is starting the sports network is that Fox lost the English Premier League to NBC... - kear20

Probably not the reason they started an entire new channel. NBCSN isn't exactly bringing home any rave reviews either...

Hey buddy, how is the family? - bixll
OK. Thanks for asking. Sending #4 off to college next week. She's my most naive child. And she looks like she about 12 yrs old!
Having 2nd thoughts about sending her off.
She watches every Isles game with me and yells at the TV along with me.
Aint gonna be the same with her gone. |

soccer is my second favorite sport..i understand what is happening..nbc paid through the nose for it...however fox sports 1 was in the works at the same time...so once they lose the epl they decided to change that channel....speed channel is becoming fox sport 2 at some point |

YAWN, Is it hockey season yet?
As for Fox and its attempt to challenge ESPN.
FOX Sports "National Sports Report" — originally envisioned as a challenger to ESPN's Sports- Center.
They tried it back in the 90's. A half as$ attempt @ a two hour sports show. It eventually was cut to One hr and then 1/2 hr before become defunct.
Im sure some of you will remember CNN Sports Illustrated (CNNSI)
It was a 24-hour sports news channel. It was created by Time Warner, bringing together its CNN and Sports Illustrated brands and related resources. It was launched with much fanfare on December 12, 1996.
CNN/SI aimed to provide the most comprehensive sports news service on television, including news from around the country and around the world.
I watched it on occasion on Prime Star (Direct TV). Then one day it was gone.
Like it or not ESPN is a monster. IMO the only reason NBC Sports Network survives is.... NHL Hockey! And maybe the Dan Patrick show. |

How do you think Arsenal will do this year? Suprised Arsene Wegner is still the manager.
