    So they didn't learn from the old FSN channels with their horrible tickers and color schemes?

    I haven't gotten a chance to watch anything other than the UFC fights I recorded...was going to watch the Dynamo game on there tonight.

    The rest of the fox sport properties haven't started yet.

    That means college football, the euros playing football, and college basketball.

    Sure, but Fox has the potential to at least make ESPN start trying again. Fox also has an infinite amount of money to throw at anything... them getting the US Open (golf) was a pretty big get.

    Places where ESPN has lost some footing:
    I actually prefer NFL network's pre-game show now vs. ESPN's (mainly b/c I can't stand Chris Berman, and also I feel NFL network does a better job of covering all the teams).

    MLB network is catching up in the quality of their MLB coverage vs. ESPN.

    ESPN's NBA coverage, besides JVG, is still lacking.

    Yes, it looks similar to the old local Fox Sports Net or CSN layout.

    They're pushing UFC hard because it's an exclusive Fox property. I would imagine that continues to be the case moving forward. With Nascar, I think that's largely because they are still playing out several contracts that exist from the Speed Channel. Once those start to fall off the table, I think you'll see less auto racing.

    Nope, I'm on the cheapest package on Dish and 150 is blocked. I think I'm on the top 120 with the multi sports package, even though we don't have CSN anyway so Im actually paying an extra $5 a month for no reason...

    I'll give it a shot because a youtube celeb that I've followed for the past two years is on it. She is absolutely cute and funny. She used to do a daily piece for guyism.com. Katie Nolan is her name, I'm hoping this leads to bigger things for her.

    They stole this really hot reporter from the Celtics... Her name is Molly Mcgrath.

    I'll give any station trying to unseat ESPN a shot.

    So does anyone actually watch this channel? I find myself watching it a lot more since they got Wojo but I don't know anyone else that does. I like it more than sports center but I'm so used to automatically going to ESPN.
