Sodboy13 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 So FSC becomes FXX, with Speed, Fuel, and FSC Plus getting rebrands as Fox Sports One, Two, and Three. Same soccer content, different channel, possibly with better access to rugby and Aussie Rules (my understanding is that very few people get FSC Plus, where they currently reside.)

Sodboy13 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 No, it's just for the fact that the channel's gonna have a lot of Charlie Sheen on it.

RyanMcD29 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I'm guessing this puts the Champions League on Fox Sports 1 then, right?I'm just hoping with all this rebranding the racing on Speed that isn't Sprint Cup doesn't get the shaft, in addition to whatever non-World Cup soccer rights they still have left Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Friday "Trackside" show is probably done. Once Speed is fully rebranded, think 2014 or 2015, they will probably move the lower rated races there from terrestrial FOX television since only the Daytona 500 is contractually set for terrestrial FOX only. FOX may also go after the Turner Summer Series as well. Keep in mind, the NNS deal is separate and they may also go after it as ESPN has it until 2014.

dbadefense1990 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 No, it's just for the fact that the channel's gonna have a lot of Charlie Sheen on it.Nah, just wait until FXXX kicks in.But seriously, adding another X? Can't it be FX2, FX3, FX4, etc? Much simpler on the nomenclature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubsFanBudMan Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 This seems to go against the way things seem to be heading. Shouldn't there be fewer general channels and more niche? Of course, you have to pick the right niche...But with MLB, NBA, NFL, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox NASCAR outside of Mike Joy take the hardcore NewsCorp line on everything: God, country, and it's Obama's fault. Oh what could have been....

HedleyLamarr Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Turner's the worst of the three when it comes to Nascar coverage, and I rarely watch a race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Zephyrus Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I'm just trying to think what edge Fox Sports 1 is hoping to get to have even a slither of a fraction of a micron of a chance to compete with ESPN. The Champions League, NASCAR, and possibly the Catholic 7 is a decent start...somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 All of FX's sports programming will be shifted to FSOne/Two, so that gives them MMA and college football.
