Like most any other start-up, there's going to be bumps in the road. I'll take a long term horizon look at wait and see. My feeling is that adjustments will be made to programming and the league with develop new and strong rivalries. I am optimistic that all will be good in 3-5 years.

Other than overpaying I really don't see this being a loss for Fox. What other east coast league could they get? The AAC is terrible next year, The ACC, Sec, BIG, all have deals with other networks. Is it possible that The Big East will not have a TV contract in 10 years? I guess that's just too impossible to answer this early n the game. Who could Fox 1&2 get that would be better than the BE?

True enough, OTR. Your comments especially ring true when you think of the BE in terms of media markets. No other league that isn't already signed to a TV deal can deliver, Boston, NYC, Northern NJ, DC, Chicago and Philly. These markets deliver tens of millions of viewers.

Vee your right about the viewers but that article said a few games had a rating of ZERO so not sure being in these markets are helping. Obviously Fox Sports knows what it's doing and I look forward to a long relationship with them.

As long as advertisers are paying the freight with commercials, all is well.

I'm not a TV ratings expert and don't know exactly how they work. With that being said, how do bars affect ratings? Personally, I do my best to tune into FS1 when looking for a sports fix, but bars still pretty much only have ESPN on by default.
Fox isn't bleeding cash by any means. Last week's Packers/49ers had 47.1 million viewers, and was the highest rated Wild Card game in 25 years. The main network can subsidize FS1 for the time being.
When FS1 gets better football content (which it will) and starts broadcasting baseball this coming year, I'd anticipate sharp ratings increases. I'm not concerned at all at this stage of the game.

The first commercial break on the SucKS game on CBSSN had NO, that's NO paid ads...only promos for CBS related content.
Obviously, the AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAC is a big draw."I Got CHAMPIONS in that Lockerroom!" -Stanley Burrell

My only concern is that Xavier will lose the money if FXSPorts doesn't become successful. The channel will never go away and they will probably always show BE basketball. However, when the contract runs out will X be able to get 5mill a year or will they fall back to A-10 status.
