TMZ Sports coming to FS1.

Sigh. Hopefully this garbage at least brings some semblance of ratings...

With Horowitz at the helm, this isn't surprising, he did bring us First Take .....

Yeah. It's a shame that sports media has devolved into what it's become. awful announcing has a good article about this being the last stage of the Kardasianization of sports media. And they're right.

Ya it's not surprising at all, I gave up on the network for anything non-live events the day they hired Horowitz (probably posted the same earlier in this thread).

I definitely bought into the hype of an ESPN alternative when they first came around, sucks to see them go the same direction.

The problem for FS1 was though that the ratings showed that no one was really interested in an ESPN alternative. It's really a shame- I loved some of the stuff that FS1 was doing(thinking the Fox Football daily show in particular).

FS1 is still in its absolute infancy. It cracks me up when people compare ESPN which has been around for 30 years monopolizing the sports media industry to a network that JUST started. Under Armour did not compete with Nike on day 1 nor should it ever be expected to. But guess what? After Nike essentially monopolized athletic attire, UA has taken some big chunks out of them and is gaining on them rapidly. UA needed time to be a househould name and for customers to realize the product quality was comparable to Nike. Same goes for FS1 and ESPN.

Here's a composite Big East TV schedule in case you want to know where to catch every game this season on TV or online.

That's got nothing to do with the other programming. Fox has completely given up on what they had planned at launch, and has gone to being an ESPN Clone for the outside live event programming.

Katie Nolan is a gem. I hope her show moves to prime time.

Only con I can see is her Boston fandom, but I can respect that.
