The Holy Land of Hoops

I was worried it was going to come off as cheap or it would otherwise be lacking, but it is fantastic. Already has replaced sportscenter for me. Such a breath of fresh air over the tired nonsense that espn has become. Once nfl season starts, I can see it only getting better

We really lucked out with this partnership.

I agree, what's not to like? I was worred about the subscriptions, but we are now in 90 million homes, over 20 games on national TV per team, 3-5 million a year per team and on a channel that is gonna promote the hell out of us (Big East pregame show sponsored by Ford, Superbowl kickoff, New year's eve marathon). I haven't turned on ESPN since the launch.

I also have completely switched over. The only thing that will get me back to ESPN is if there's a big game I want to see.

I tried, I really did... but I'm back to ESPN, FS1's soccer coverage was a plus though

My switch is permanent at this point. I was so sick of espn, this is simply a better product.

I'm trying to make the website switch too, but that is taking a bit longer.

ESPN.com is going to be a tougher nut to crack for Fox - but I don't believe that Fox needs to WIN that battle to be a success, they just need to be in the conversation.

espn.go.com is still my home page, sorry guys

I've now permanently switched to Fox Sports 1... I haven't been to ESPN all week. ESPN and Espn2 are becoming isolated on Cox in Rhode Island:

1025 - AMC.
1026 - TNT.
1027 - Spike.
1028 - Food Network.
1029 - Espn2.
1030 - ESPN.
1031 - E!- Entertainment Television.
1032 - Travel Channel (I think).
...
1085 - Fox Sports 1.
1086 - Golf Channel.
...
1128 - YES Network.
1129 - MLB.
1131 - Fox Soccer.
1133 - ESPN News.
1134 - ESPN U.
1136 - NBA.
1137 - NFL.
1138 - NHL Hockey.
1139 - NBC Sports Network.
1141 - Tennis Channel.

So espn and espn2 are isolated near the Food Network.
Fox Sports 1 is isolated near the Golf Channel.
The majority of specialty sports channels are together up the dial.

Fox Sports Live continues to get better every day. Good highlight segments and they seem to have worked this roundtable out. I really enjoyed their segments with Mark Cuban and actually watched the whole thing which meant I had to leave later than I would have liked.

It starts too late for me. I usually catch about 30 minutes before work. I agree, it seems to be getting better.
