They want regional Fox Sports channels but not Fox Sports? That's kind of weird.

I wonder if that's because it's so much soccer and garbage talking heads.

They've already got the mommy (ESPN), they want the babies. They don't need another mommy. They'd only get FS1 to kill it. - Mop Dec 7, 14:38
huh. that's interesting -- nm - Remlik Dec 7, 14:12
They got rid of Colin Cowherd, why the hell would they want him back? -- nm - Will Hunting, Deposed King of Astronauts Dec 7, 14:06 1
- and Bayless. They can just fire those guys, though. -- nm - David Dec 7, 14:11
Comcast is the other suitor. Maybe they worry about anti-trust if they grab all those regional networks too. - spamlet Dec 7, 14:04 6
- Deadline is saying they DO want the regional networks, just not the primary sports channel. -- nm - David Dec 7, 14:06 5
  - That was unclear. Disney takes the regionals and Comcast takes the national network to merge with NBCSN. - spamlet Dec 7, 14:15 4
    - Actually, I'm now realizing it makes perfect sense in that they can use those outlets for ESPN+. -- nm - David Dec 7, 14:18 3
      - It is almost like they thought of this. -- nm - Spawndroid Dec 7, 15:49
      - oh that's smart. -- nm - Remlik Dec 7, 14:22
      - Yup. -- nm - spamlet Dec 7, 14:20
I thought I read something about Fox Sports conflicting with ESPN and ABC Sports, but I may be mistaken -- nm - crash davis Dec 7, 14:03
