These regional networks will be fueling FS1 with a lot of live events. Fox has the properties to make this work and it should be great to have another location to centralize all these sports. Can't wait.
NBC has a similar setup to this, and has not been able to put the slightest dent in ESPN. The Fox channel will not be able to carry the NHL - the NBC national contract is exclusive. Trust me, without the larger rights to the sports, and not the regional sports net flavor, this will be a huge money loser. They will be competing for the same table scraps that CBS and NBC are fighting, and losing, over.
