Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

saw a FS1 advertisement for the first time last night.

Some more announcements of programming and interesting "female" lineup shaping up for Fox Sports 1.

No where does it mention the ECAC lacrosse deal. LOL i swear ill take lacrosse over nascrap any day.

I think its very smart to get UFC programming, the sport is only going to get bigger.

Works for me.

Fox Sports 2 will launch at the same time it sounds like. Will all Big East games be on FS1 or is there a chance lesser games could get bumped to FS2?

I would guess the games get spread out across the sports networks, but you never know. They do need the inventory for the new channel, but I wouldn't be surprised to see some lesser games get bumped to FS2 if there's another event on (UFC, for example, runs year round).

Out of curiosity, where are the regional Fox networks on your dial? Here in Milwaukee, on Time Warner Cable, Fox Sports Wisconsin is located right next to ESPN and ESPN2. The channel lineup is 29:ESPN2, 30:ESPN, and 31: FSWI. If there is a similar situation in other areas I wonder if they're considering switching FS1 to that slot and moving the regionals over to the other spot. Anybody else have a similar setup?

Great to hear, although initially, I probably have to fork out some extra money to get the sports package I bet. Hopefully this means that all conference games will be televised on FS1 or FS2 like we initially heard and even some non-revenue sports like baseball, volleyball, women's basketball and soccer will get some air-time on FS2.

When did we hear all conference games would be televised on FS1 and FS2?

I remember reading somewhere that over 100 Big East games would be televised, maybe it was college basketball games in general.....it was a long time ago, maybe it wasn't true.
