At least ten different programs in Fuel history topped 200,000 viewers, just about all of them in January 2012 and later. That’s an average of about one every two months. We’re coming up on two months since Fuel was rebranded as FS2, and not only has not one program managed to top 200,000 viewers in that time, there’s not much in the way of prospects for anything to achieve that mark, despite the broader array of programming the rebrand has brought to FS2.
The reason for that? All the UFC programming that previously inhabited FS2 has moved to FS1. FS2 is no longer home to Wednesday UFC cards and European cards – those are now airing on FS1 whenever possible. NASCAR practice and qualifying have attracted decent numbers, as has, surprisingly enough, Australian Rules Football, but the best programming is always going to be on FS1, and combined with FS2’s extremely limited distribution that makes it highly unlikely that anything on FS2 is going to top 200,000 viewers in the near future, though we’ll see what happens with the Big East basketball games being shuffled there.
Does this mean Fox didn’t have enough programming for a second channel at launch? Maybe, maybe not – certainly FS2 was as much as anything about the hope that Fox would eventually have enough inventory to warrant a second channel (as well as being a short-term escape valve). But I can’t help but think all parties would have been better off if, say, Fox Soccer had been rebranded as FS2 and Fuel had become a NASCAR or motorsports-oriented network. Certainly it would have helped quiet the loud complaining from Speed fans.
All numbers are in thousands of viewers and are from Son of the Bronx.
