A bit more on the FSN and FOX situation. FSN was created by FOX buying up regional sports channels, and putting them all under one hat. A huge hurddle we had to overcome and why I believe we didn't get it done last year, was the major headache of getting all the different companies to function as one team. Advertising markets, public interest, etc. all are different. It was a logistical nightmare. But with the time, its been worked out, and continues to be improved. By way of another anology, the best way to discribe the FOX scenario is FSN is like the little brother to big brother FOX.
Sometimes big brother wants you around and sometimes big brother wants
you out of his face. He will always be there to protect you, and will
not let any harm come to you. But he may not always acknowledge you.
All in all, it is still one family, but two brothers vying for
attention.
Also remember, FOX Sports paid for the Lipton and Family Circle
production, therefore they had the right to rename TennisProView "FOX
SHOTZ". |
