Fox Sports Net at least covers colleges in neighboring states, and sneaks in a Razorbacks game here and there. www.epinions.com /content_44107992708   (661 words)

Fox Sports can’t get the greatest commentators since the best will work with ESPN and if there’s a decent commentator on Fox Sports, ESPN gets him (or her). Fox Sports thinks of themselves as a big network on football, while at the same time they have the Major League Baseball playoffs and the World Series until sometime like 2006 or 2007. www.allsports.com /cgi-bin/showstory.cgi?story_id=35949   (680 words)

Defections Wear on Fox Sports Net - 1/3/2005 - Multichannel News For Fox Sports Net, 2004 was a year that saw several pro-team defections that spawned competing regional sports networks and the loss of staple National Hockey League games, scrapped due to a labor impasse. Still, FSN executives called it a year that made the national service and its affiliated regional sports networks stronger — and they expect to score big in 2005 with new shows, a greater emphasis on new wrinkles such as HDTV and on-demand programming, and a renewed emphasis on the local product. FSN president Bob Thompson said the network and its family of more than 20 owned and affiliated regional sports networks flourished in 2004 even though four new regional sports networks — featuring pro teams formerly affiliated with the Fox networks and now aligned with key cable affiliates — made their debuts. www.multichannel.com /article/CA490698.html?display=Programming   (1123 words)
