Do you think Fox Sports 1 can really compete with ESPN?

If so, how long do you think it will take for the two networks to be equals?
What does Fox Sports 1 have to do to make that happen?
Live NFL or NBA games? Big-time college football games?

Yes.

sadly probably not

It will probably take a while, but if they're aggressive with their bids on contracts for live sports I could see them threatening ESPN.

That will probably take a while based on the amount of contracts ESPN has compared to Fox.

Fox will have this.
I'm anxious to see how the Canadians do on their highlight show. I don't watch SportsCenter at all anymore, but I'm going to give the Fox show a shot.

well, it will have my undivided attention so ESPN is losing at least 1 veiwer

I think they can, but for me it'll come down to the games they show... the rest is just noise.
Also, their formatting for broadcasts nees to be appealing... when Fox Network had the BCS games, their product was sh*t compared to ABC/ESPN... IMO, ESPN does a better job with their MLB production than Fox currently does

No. Not even close.
Posted on 8/12/13 at 11:26 am to PrimeTime Money
No. No one beats Disney.

No, but I think the more competition you throw at ESPN the more you can chip away at it.

They are replacing the Speed channel. I'll bet most people don't even know that channel exists.
No chance at competing with ESPN.

FOX dwarfs ESPiN on the world wide sports scene

Contracts with the NFL, NASCAR, two of the BCS football confrences, EPL, and MLB.
ESPN shows one NFL game a week and about 5 MLB games a week.
Fox regionalizes and shows all NFC games and probably close to 30 MLB games a week.

The entire FOX entity can compete in terms of live programming, but the Sportscenter type show will not.
I like ESPN as a whole. MLBN is my sports station if choice, but there is some good programming. They offer a shite ton of live sports. ESPNews is fine for a short highlight show. I just do not watch some of the shows.
I love how angry some of you guys are towards ESPN. The good posters generally do not go on rants about ESPN. That is usually left up to the guys on here who know jack shite about sports.

FS1 will do extremely well.
Viewers have finally grown tired of TMZ Sports.

Fox has better/more NFL coverage, of course it can compete. Based on that alone.
Who the frick is going to watch NFL Live on ESPN over the Fox pregame crew on FS1? Very few.
Fox Football Daily with Bradshaw, Howie, Erin Andrews > NFL Live with fricking Berman/Wingo/John Clayton/Dilfer.

Television...maybe
Posted on 8/12/13 at 1:24 pm to PrimeTime Money
No, they're never showing what's it says is on
Posted on 8/12/13 at 1:38 pm to PrimeTime Money
I think the main thing is live sports events and analysts.
If they get arse hats like ESPN has then it will suck just as bad.
