People don't like change. It's been on NBC for years and now it's moved over to a different network. Some still hate the NBA on ESPN and wish it would move back to NBC.

Hey man, I grew up on roundball rock.

This can't be good.

More live content is what is needed.

Between the U.S. open and women's world cup, fox sports dominated the month of June. I'm sure the ratings don't show that, but they are gaining new viewers at every corner.

In 3 more years our ratings should be where they need to be.

I actually disagree. The news updates- I've never looked at those as being all that important. I think they were thinking it would set them apart from ESPN- but it never really took- like a lot of things at FS1..

As far as the live reporting for events they don't have the rights to- Outside of maybe a few interviews, I don't think it matters if the talking heads are talking in Cleveland or in Los Angeles(to just use the NBA finals as an example). And they can do the interviews via satellite.

I think this is one thing where it really looks a lot worse than it really is. I don't think the casual fan will notice much of a difference quite frankly.
