Fox Sports 1 Update

I think far left is Marquette's AD Larry Williams but its hard to tell.

I was expecting a little more from Fox Sports 1 with this being the big day. There is only an updated deal on Rafferty. I would have thought they would be doing a bigger splash and (as comments earlier were made) having a special section up and running on NCAA bball. I realize it's summer but you would think they should be off and running. Am I missing something?

I would not expect too much until the new network launches.

That's what I am missing- what is the date of the launch?

Preview of the huge promo by Fox Sports 1 that will air during the MLB All-Star game. Exciting!

Really cool. Watching this makes me think FS1 has an actual chance to usurp ESPN to some degree.

FS1 welcomes their anchors. Have to admit I'm very happy about this hire, as I really enjoyed Sportscentre when I lived in Canada.

Primetime numbers are out.....not so good for ole' ESPN, down 32% for the quarter (and this is even before Fox Sports 1 comes out).
