Reportedly, Fox Sports 1 is going to extend NASCAR Race Hub to an hour at 4 PM ET, bumping Fox Soccer Daily to 3:30, and has cut the midnight edition of Fox Sports Live in favor of a Fox Football Daily re-air and all the overnight editions from 2 to 6 AM in favor of other reruns. Personally I think this is a bit of a hasty overreaction; most of FS1’s audience is still people who remember it when it was Speed, and Race Hub’s relative success is a sign of that. As people in other fanbases discover FS1, Race Hub should start falling down the rankings of the late-afternoon studio shows on the channel, and having the Champions League proper start this week should give FSD a boost among soccer fans. At the least I would have waited and seen what effect the Champions League had on FSD’s ratings.
As for FSL, I would have cut the panel before cutting re-airs; the loss of an edition at 2 AM ET, in particular, means games will still be ending during the 1 AM hour and that could affect the edition of FSL that gets replayed during the morning. Washington State-USC became FS1’s most-watched program outside the UFC card on launch day and FS1 as a whole had a pretty substantial lead for fourth place over MLBN for the week (although Golf Channel didn’t have a golf tournament over the weekend). The network is growing, and it should be allowed to grow unencumbered.
All numbers are in thousands of viewers and are from Son of the Bronx.
