I turned in for a few seconds while getting ready for work. Production values seem high and the eye candy isn't bad either. I did watch a podcast of the two main sports anchors guys and they seem amusing but what do you expect from two Canadians, eh?

I'll have to give Regis Philbin's show a chance during the week too. Katie Nolan is intriguing (good material, not an amazing delivery but who cares).

FS1 debut their Football Daily Show during the Bucs/Pats game last night.
Randy Moss made Chevy Chase look like a natural on a set.

Believe the FS1 Football Daily Show will be broadcasted at 6 pm (Eastern) daily, which is a good time slot...as it won't go head-to-head vs PTI (5:30 pm), one of ESPN's best shows.

Their website is much nicer than the crap sites of NBCSN and CBSSN. We may finally have a legitimate contender to ESPN and Thank God! They just need to show a little less NASCAR and UFC all the time, but I know the seasons haven't kicked off yet.
When their website has a listing of I-AA teams as well, which CBS and NBC don't have, it's easier for me to respect the site. I love the logos next to the teams names, although there is a very outdated JMU logo. They don't have individual pages for the I-AA teams, but I'm sure they're still a work in progress. The best part? No ODU among FBS or FCS! Well... okay that's a fail on their part but who cares? haha

Katie is gorgeous. Good material, just needs to work on delivery a little.

Way too many jumpcuts in that YouTube video for the production value to be considered "high".

Watched the kick off show this morning. Pretty good in my opinion. Not too much detail as ESPN goes into and a lot of open discussion on top teams/picks for BCS champ. Mike Peieria is going to be a pretty good analyst. They did break down illegal helmet hits this year and each gave their opinions on it. Eddie George and Mike Peieria had a pretty through discussion on this issue. Not to mention Erin Andrews isn't too bad as a host. Really looking forward to what they can do with he UCF and College Football.

Note: Will take some time to get programing to an ESPN level but not off to a bad start.

I couldn't find FS-2. Wasn't it supposed to debut today also?

FWIW FS2 on DirecTV is coming in HD. So they are brodcasting that way.

Getting FS1 in HD (Channel 1620) on Comcast here in Franklin, TN. Can't wait for CUSA programming to start!

In a single picture, Fox sports 1 personality Charissa Thompson shows why dudes will abandon espn in a skinny minute.



and her partner Erin Andrews is nothing to scoff at, either

It will take them a bit to polish everything to a level of professionalism that competes with ESPN, but I agree about the jump cuts in this particular video. There are better ways to edit out the footage between the topics.

Not a fan of Erin Andrews. Over-rated.

Nice. Now we're going to be buried in photographic evidence.

I'm watching fs1 right now and it's good. I just hope they don't go overboard with ufc. Keep it at a minimum and show more fb, bob and baseball.
