Fox Sports 1 may die before it gets off the ground - they still don't have carriage contracts with 3 of the 4 largest TV network providers...including DirecTV. Bastards!
That's cause they are trying to quadruple their subscriber charge. Their trying to get all the money they can. I can understand an increase since they will be showing more than the Speed Channel used to, but that seems excessive to me.
All sides seem to think a deal will be in place before the August 17th launch date.

The BTN had similar problems with carriers early on.
Yes, I switched to Dish until DirecTv got BTN.
I hope they work it out.
Glad to hear about NBC getting NASCAR from them.
Since Fox is a 49ish% owner of the BTN I imagine they are using the same negotiating tactics. If this channel proves to be well run I would like to see the Big Ten and the Pac Ten end their associations with ESPN. I already prefer watching basketball games on the BTN network (I like Jimmy Jackson's low key approach. The focus is on the game not the announcer).

Erin Andrews, Mike Pereira, Joel Klatt, Clay Travis, Eddie George and Petros Papadakis
They will need to upgrade, imo. As a Buckeye fan Eddie George is one of my favorites, but not an analyst. Clay Travis has a hard on for Urban Meyer, and not in a good way. Pereira (former NFL ref) may have been the best of the bunch but tries to be the smartest guy at the table by making off the wall picks (ASU to win the P12?)
Erin Andrews is nice to look at but can't carry the show.
I could agree with you, but I would be wrong too. How is that going to help anyone?

Best fight of the night was the little guys. Shogun got used, and quickly. The kick to the face that took the 205lb guy out was amazing.
Those guys are nuts.
