Fox Sports 1

[PhillySioux]

Has anyone heard if MidCo has a deal in place to offer Fox Sports 1? I believe it goes live 8/17.

it just takes the place of speed channel

They need a new agreement. If they dont have one we get a scaled down version of SPEED with no live content.

What I've read is that Fox was asking for like 80 cents but now is just letting the Speed channel contracts run out for like 23 cents. So every cable system should have it. If you go to Fox sports 1 website you can check channel number because some (like DirecTV) are moving to better tier.

It looks like Fox Sports 1 (219), Fox Sports 2 (218), CBS College Sports (221), and NBCSN (220) will all be next to each other on DirecTV.

FS2 is on 618 currently. Is it moving later to the golf channel?

I just typed in my zip and provider and it said 218 for FS2.

Edit: You are right I miss read what it said 618 FS2

I honestly wonder if they will even have content I am interested in watching? And if they can survive alongside ESPN?

big 12 and pac12 football (and other sports iirc) as well as big east BB. They'll probably push hard for big 10 media rights in two years (and make the BIG10 even more insanely rich). I think they have some NFL games as well.
