Fox Sports 1 Update

[Bluejay]

I have a feeling your comments will not add any value to this message board or this league in general. Perhaps I can direct you to a board where you will be among your peers.

BEwannabe, I believe, is Mick Cronin posting here in disguise.

Errr, Mick. That ACC invitation is not coming anytime soon. Enjoy your summer, and whole career for that matter, in limbo.

I'm surprised we haven't seen more publicity on the Fox networks about this launching. You'd think they would be using every opportunity to spread the word as I am sure there are plenty of regular sports fans who don't even know about their plans.

I'm seeing tons of commercials during Brewer's games on FSWI

[Jet915]

Yeah, they are definitely showing them on Fox owned channels, I saw one yesterday on FX.

I just realized that I don't want much on any Fox channels right now which might be the cause

Fox Sports Media Group co-presidents and COOs Randy Freer and Eric Shanks did an interview with a website named Multichannel News discussing what's in store, programming wise, at launch for Fox Sports 1. The relavent passage for Big East fans:

MCN: Where does the Big East fit on the schedule?

ES: In general, Big East basketball will be concentrated on Monday and Thursday nights, as well as Saturday and Sunday afternoons and evenings. We only have 24 Golden Boy fights and some are expected to move to Tuesdays during college basketball season. We expect that Fox Sports 1 will have a modest schedule of women's basketball and Olympic sports.

Here's the rest of the Q&A:
