    Maybe they can't sign any contracts for live sporting events. FSC now no longer has EPL, so they have to show Liverpool documentary reruns.

    Yeah I can already tell that channel will suck.

    There version of Sports Center was garbage and the two announcers were super annoying.

    Rupert Murdoch getting too greedy.

    NBCsports plays hunting and fishing shows all day every day, and they are head and shoulders above ESPN.

    They got to get the contracts first, which will take time. (like NBC and premier league or the Nascar thing).

    The important point is to support them now, so they have a real chance to compete with ESPN later. Can't be shortsighted about these things.

    Anyone know where they are located?

    For instance, ESPN main is in Bristol.

    NBCsports is in NYC. (this was a huge pull of talent for them).

    Why premiere a sports network without any headlines, like exclusive home of any fckn soccer league however minor or sketchy that league is. You can tune into BEIN and watch spanish league. NBC you can watch EPL. Even spanish channel has mex soccer. I don't understand a lick what those commentators saying, but i tune in to watch the soccer games. Give the viewers something to latch onto to tune in.

    All sports stations suck, in all honesty. I watch ESPN for 30 for 30's (of which most are pretty damn good), PTI, Sunday NFL Countdown (I'm all about Where You AT???) and the actual sporting events.

    30 for 30 = sick

    Nine for IV = garbage

    Women "athletes" try too damn hard

    I could watch "The U", "The Fab Five", "Broke", "Unguarded", "Roll Tide/War Eagle", "The Announcement", and "The 16th Man" on daily repeat.

    Show me the "'99ers" and "Venus Vs." and I want to destroy my TV.

    When you're the only game in town all the sports leagues want you to show their shit. Competition is good. Hell we might actually get something other than Yanks vs Sox on a Sunday night now.

    Yep no one in the NFL is fat. Glad a washed up tennis player is pretending to know NFL.

    You're a bright one. May as well have PBA bowlers speak on Cricket and NHL. You're a jerk off. Clueless fukkin bozo.

    Just another sports network. The market is already oversaturated between all of the ESPN's, NBC, Fox, all the professional sports leagues, college channels, etc. As far as I'm concerned, the more channels on, the better. There can never be enough sports on TV.

    There was no espn empire to compare this to when espn started up in the late 70s.

    foxsports one could be a decent second tier sports channel. Kinda reminds me of tsn. might serve a niche audience.
