Really think Fox is FINALLY starting to try to build up FS2 some.....

Fox Corp distribution contract is set to expire tomorrow for Roku Channel. Might want to consider switching platforms if you use this service for live tv. Won’t be able to watch the super bowl with it.

I've long said the main advantage ESPN has on Fox is if something runs long they have a viable 2nd channel....

I remember 5+ years ago FS1 was airing MLB playoff game- Giants/Nats. The 18 inning game. UFC was supposed to be that night and they wound up having to put that on FX I think because UFC I think refused to allow it to go to FS2. Had to use Fox Business as an overrun as well....

I'm thinking a lot of this is as a result of Fox selling off all the RSN's.

Not directly FS1 related, but BYU signed a new contract with ESPN:

PROVO, Utah (January 30, 2020) — Brigham Young University and ESPN, Inc. today announced a new seven-year media rights agreement for BYU home football games that will continue their longstanding relationship through the 2026 college football season.

“In addition to the home television rights agreement, BYU and ESPN Events — a division of ESPN — have also reached agreement for the Cougars to participate in ESPN owned and operated bowl games in 2020, 2022 and 2024. Under a separate agreement, the Cougars are also slated to appear in the Independence Bowl in Shreveport, Louisiana, in 2021, 2023 and 2025.
