Did any get a chance to check out the new Fox Sports channel?
I watched a couple of programs yesterday. Their CF preview show and their nightly highlight wrap up show.
The CF show has some promise but that Fox Sports Live show that is supposed to go head to head with SportsCenter needs a lot of work.
I like the format of the program with how they bounce back and forth between showing highlights to having in depth "round table" discussions about a specific topic but the writing for the two desk guys delivering the highlights is horrid. They were trying too hard to be funny so it came off as corny and awkward.
They need to either improve the writing for the highlights, get guys who genuinely have a sense of humor and know how to deliver funny lines, or just be straight forward and focus more on the highlights and substance instead of trying to out-humor the SC anchors.
I prefer the latter. Show me more highlights of the days action and I'm fine. When I tune in I'm not expecting Comedy Central material so I'm fine with a straight laced sports program.
Any other thoughts?
