Hello and welcome to Fox Sports1 on August 17th

The below article which appeared in Bloomberg/Businessweek, identifies the strategy which Fox will use again sports Goliath ESPN.

Personally I am pulling for Fox Sports 1 which will carry the Big East games among others. Note that long time color announcer Bill Raferty has bolted to Fox.

Not to mention they also employ Gus freaking Johnson, who's been calling English Premier League & some US National Team soccer games for Fox Soccer, which will be defunct. I think they'll tap him for some college hoops games as well.

Any game that features the Gus Effect is a game worth watching.

But my question is, will it be available to cable viewers or cable viewers with a HD box? I really don't want to pay more to get Fox Sports One.

That's one of the nice things about ESPN and ESPN2 are available with just standard cable- and ESPNU is available if you have a HD box.

If you are moving out of the area you can still watch some Siena games on TV.
