Fox Sports - Just Pathetic
Not really AAC related, but I am so glad that we are not televised on this network and the new Big East can have fun with that. I'm a UCF fan living in the Tampa Bay area and also follow Tampa Bay Lightning hockey. Fox Sports had the rights to the stanley cup playoff game tonight and, instead, the entire Tampa Bay area missed the whole first period in favor of the Miami baseball team. Just pathetic.

Yes, the Lightning have a good fan base, especially when winning. Tampa can be abuzz with Lightning fever. Remember when they won the Stanley Cup back in 03, I think it was.

Not shocking at all. Probably cheaper for them to fly to Tampa, buy tickets and a hotel room than to get tickets to a home playoff game in Montreal. I know this was a fact for Edmonton Oilers fans when they played the Canes for the Stanley Cup a few years back. Hockey fan bases are a completely different animal in Canada.

i stayed near the tampa lightning arena last fall while in town for the usf/memphis football game. looked like a really nice set up as i took a long walk in that area.

and yeah - fox sports is just weird. trying to watch a grizzlies or cardinals game is like throwing a dart board on which of 3 channels here they show up on (i've got att-uverse)

It's amazing that they paid $4million a year for that.

1st - Game should've been on an NBCU channel

2nd - Did you check overflow/alt channels?

3rd - Fox has no control what the regional networks place where in these cases.

1st - It was on CNBC nationally, but was blacked out in the Tampa Bay area since Fox had the local rights.

2nd - Of course, only place it was carried.

3rd - That's not the issue, Fox meant to carry the game but had a "control room" issue and mistakenly carried the Marlins game through the 1st period of the hockey game, when they switched over. Fox Sports Florida is an affiliate of FSN.

Here's what they said on facebook:

"Aware of and apolgize for the technical difficulties with FOX Sports Florida and the Tampa Bay Lightning game. Working to get it fixed"

and

"During the first period of tonight’s Tampa Bay Lightning game, we had a technical issue that impacted BrightHouse customers in North / Central FL. We take great pride on delivering the very best Lightning broadcast year round, and tonight, we fell short of that.

From all of us at FOX, we sincerely apologize and promise we will the take the steps necessary to ensure that this does not happen again. "

I don't have Brighthouse, so they weren't the only ones impacted. My point was that if Fox ever hopes to compete with ESPN than these things can't happen. Right now it's just a second rate network.

FS1 might become a legitimate, big-time player in the national sports-media landscape one day. Right now, it is thoroughly second-rate. Glad that the American is not the one waiting for FS1 to fix the bugs.

You seriously can't blame fs1 for what's happening on FSN. You're just looking to discredit FS1 and create a pile on thread because the Big East is over there.

FS1 is miles better than Disney and the viewers will come in time.

Not sure what you mean by miles better than Disney, are you actually saying that FS1 far exceeds ESPN? If so........01-wingedeagle Not supported by history, ratings, content, or any other measurables, but sure it will happen in time. Or they will fold. Either way, not positive advertising for Fox.

It really is. The whole NHL is a blast in person. Never have been able to watch it on TV for some reason, but the live experience is outstanding.

Hockey and golf (IMHO) are the two sports that lose the most in the translation from being there in person to watching it on television.
