Fox Sports 1 and Fox Sports 2

FS1 carriage talks sticky a month out

http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Journal/Issues/2013/07/15/Media/FS1.aspx

DirecTV, Dish Network and Time Warner Cable — representing more than 46 million subscribers — still are negotiating to carry FS1 on Aug. 17, which is when Fox will turn its motorsports channel, Speed, into a multisport network.

Btw, here's the promo that's going to air during the All-Star Game:

Noticed that Time Warner in my area is removing Turner Classic Movies on basic and putting Speed future FOX 1 in its place. I remembered when Speed was on basic but got removed few years back.

Comcast did the same thing in June, moving SPEED down a tier. Yet it's still buried at Channel 408, only about 375+ channels from the main ESPN twins.
 
My hope is that FS1 continues to carry Supercross from January to May, and that Fuel will continue to carry Motocross from May to August. And I wish the AMA would get Motocross off of NBC Sports Network and put it back on FS1.

Why not just have it on one network making it easier for fans to find it. Fuel is up in the sports pack.
 
A few people are mad FOX Soccer is going away over on the FOX Sports site I see. One mad the shows on at 4pm but can't watch because he will be with his team. Isn't that what DVR is for.

Also if FOX Soccer is going away that mean FOX Soccer Plus goes away too? Haven't heard anything regarding that channel.
 
Haven't heard any further word on Fox Sports 2, which is supposedly replacing Fuel. Had been rumored to launch the same day as FS1. Anyone heard anything?

I'd give it about a 90% chance it becomes Fox Sports 3 on September 2, when Fox Soccer flips to FXX. Fox Soccer Plus currently shows Rugby and Australian Rules Football, so Fox Sports 3 is a better fitting name anyway. Fox already has a Fox Sports 3 in Latin America (ironically there is no Fox Sports 1 - it is simply just Fox Sports).

I have seen one MMA article mention some bouts on Fox Sports 2 on Wednesday, August 28. Fox hasn't publicly confirmed the launch date of Fox Sports 2, but this means it will launch prior to FXX:

I've seen this a couple places. Very disappointed. The original UFC announcement said all Fuel and FX fights would be moving to FS1... now I find out I'll still have to watch the UFC prelims in standard definition on FS2/Fuel starting on Aug. 28. Only the August 21st UFC card will be shown in it's entirety on Fox Sports 1. :(

FS1 and ESPN jostling before the start of the new sports network

If they wanna fight, I say let 'em fight. For some time now, 200-level NBC Sports Network has been visible on our local cable system. (All the other 'Sports Pak' and 'extended digital' channels remain blocked, so it seems deliberate). And with Fox Sports 1's August debut, I'll have both ESPNs, NBCSN, and FS1.

At least for highlights and talking head shows, there will finally be some viable non-ESPN choices.
 
Also Mike Hill from ESPN is their to so maybe one Weekend Anchors for Fox Sports Live. Also NFL Total ACCESS has new people Jenn Brown from ESPN and so on. Also ESPN/FS1 competing against each with Shows.
 
They need content. The Truck Series is that. Weren't they carrying it already on Speed? So this is really no change.
