Fox Sports 1 Update

Big number for ESPN. Totally blows that FS1 had a sexy doubleheader going up vs the bluebloods. That being said, FS1 had a solid night. Wisconsin and Creighton was much higher than i would have guessed.

I think the answer to that is the non football fans(yeah there are a few) flipped over for the between games of the Champions Classic rather than watching the playoff ratings for football. Also the start of the game probably got good ratings as the Kentucky game was a dud. It'd be interesting if we had the quarter hour ratings.

Anyone know if FS1 is airing Inside the Big East this year? In past years it was on once a week (I think usually on Sunday's but I normally DVR'd it so not quite sure). I wasn't able to remember if they had started the show in November in year's past or if it started airing once BE Conference season started.

just a crazy thought....

but what if Fox bought ESPN? Could you imagine the content that they would have?
baseball- tons of it- really almost all except for the Turner package
basketball pro- half of it along with the NBA Finals
football pro- Sunday NFC package along with Monday Night Football
college sports- all of Big 12, Pac 12, Big Ten, ACC, Big East, AAC. 1/2 of SEC, MWC, A10.
ufc
golf- US Open
etc.

Great year for FS1, rating up while ESPN is down. FS1 was better than ESPN2 in primetime but slightly lower overall.
