These are two different companies: Fox and FSN, also know as Big Fox and Little Fox. If you recall, the first three "prototype" tennis events we did where on FSN. Based upon the success of that, Big Fox wanted to use us on their national tennis coverage. Big Fox, though, obviously gets to set some additional rules. Such as, they apparently got the right to use their own name (Fox Shotz) as opposed to Golf ProView. Big Fox also changed the look of it: Where our main graphic was designed to look as "real" as possible (the net,, court, stands w/ fans), Fox Shotz was given a StarWars make over (A-LA FOX)so it looked very techy. The obvious benefit w/ tennis to getting Big Fox is that are sure do to the bigger tournements (anyone know who is doing the US Open in NY? Dare to dream?)Big Fox also gets national production and expsure, and at least on my cable system, is not in the triple digit high end of the channel scale.
Baseball is similar in that Little Fox and Big Fox are different companies. While Big Fox gets that Saturday game of week, and while I agree, I hope we get it because of the "BIG" national network appeal, Little Fox is, in my opinion, is better for us: Big Fox does one game a week How long is the baseball season (162 games, figure with some days off here and there 180/7 = 25+) So maybe they get 30 games total all year. Bonus that they get the AllStar game. But they don't have the World Series this year. Little Fox has 1,700 games a year. We get paid by the game. Get It.
I am hoping, that like tennis, Big Fox will want the new company product and will also do a deal with us.
