I've feel like seen those FS1 commercials for a few days now actually.

I forget what channel they were on though. May have been Fox national or FX.

They haven't been going for that long though unless I am just imagining things.

They've got to start somewhere. Besides the only person at ESPN that I actually love hearing call a game is Mike Tirico.

Can you imagine Gus Johnson doing a game like last year's SECCG?

219 still says MavTV on the guide.
Will it just automatically changeover?

It should be 219. MavTV goes to 214. I don't think FS1 officially goes on until very early in the morning.

I must be the only one that isn't excited about this at all - so far through the cox programming guide I see UFC replays, Nascar replays, and one highlight show replayed 10x's a day. At least NBCSN has DP in the morning and some oddball sports to fill in durning the mornings and afternoons.

$5 says this one flops when they fill up their afternoon slots with talk shows, just like BSPN.
