To me, the alternative to watching Sportscenter has been NOT WATCHING Sportscenter. So FS1 is not going to switch me from SC. That was done LONG AGO.
Fox Sports 1
- Thread starter Cy4Lifer
- Start date
If you like MMA you'll love FS1. If not...yeah, not so much. I only watch ESPN for football and basketball and occasionally Sportscenter.
College football: Big 12, Pac-12, C-USA
College basketball: Pac-12, Big East, C-USA, Big 12 women
Soccer: UEFA Champions League, FIFA (starting 2015)
MLB (starting 2014)
NASCAR (carryover from Speed)
UFC
Other motor sports (carryover from Speed)
I'm glad I get FS1 and I will definitely watch live sports on it, like CFB and BB. It'll be in my rotation of channels on Saturdays in the fall when I am looking for a game to watch. But I don't think I will just turn it on and watch some of the shows like I do with ESPN - SportsCenter, PTI, Around the Horn.
This. The difference is BDSSP was its own show and format. It wasn't highlights then cut to Tom and the boys for a rushed blah discussion then quick cut back to highlights. I think the discussion panel could work they just need their own show. What I watched last night was not very good at all and won't keep me coming back. If they did just a highlights show followed by Charissa (Hot as f**k by the way) and the boys with their own show, I'd definitely watch
I'll watch sports on it for sure. However I was looking for a sports highlight show and this format was like sports center but longer and worse.
My alternative to sports center has been highlight express on espn news.
Where did they dig up these clowns doing the Sportscenter thingy?
Oh....Canada?? Now it makes sense
In my humble opinion they can pack up and head to the Great White North. More annoying than the ESPN crew and I didn't think that was possible

Does anybody have Dish Network and get Fox Sports 1? I thought it was channel 150 (Ankeny) but I don't think I get it. What package is needed? TIA
Right now it's the AT200 package, but they're supposedly going to do some shuffling on 9/2, so I'm going to wait before I do anything.
Yeah, FS1 wants to be Tier 1 and be on every package like ESPN. They weren't able to finalize the deal in time so Speed became FS1 on Tier 2 while they continued to work out a deal.
Anyone still watching FS1? I have been giving it a chance. N they need to reduce the number of people on set. To many awkward who is supposed to be talking now moments. However they do get an A+ for on air female talent and wardrobe. Imam also liking Mike Pereira.
They need to win me over once live football starts. Every time I see what they have on it's always Nascar and UFC. I want sports, not Spike TV.
I decided to check out this channel the other day, saw Pat Forde, grabbed the remote, and changed the channel ASAP.
I am trying to give it a chance...but it's been hard. I can't stand the round table discussions, way to many people. Also, Andy Roddick is no more qualified to comment on anything but Tennis, then I am. He's not working on there.
I've been giving the CBS Channel a shot too...ESPN is wearing me out.

I think the true test will start this weekend when you can see how their live coverage stacks up. I've never been one for any sports studio shows.
They are pumping Mandingo fighting way too hard.
If they simply provided a more balanced college football analysis ie. (perhaps talking about CFB topics other than The SEC/ND/Ohio State/Oregon's facilities) then it would be an easy alternative to ESPN. I'm trying to stick with it. Tonight the games beging though.
