Probably not the reason they started an entire new channel. NBCSN isn't exactly bringing home any rave reviews either...

YAWN, Is it hockey season yet?

As for Fox and its attempt to challenge ESPN.

FOX Sports "National Sports Report" — originally envisioned as a challenger to ESPN's Sports- Center.

They tried it back in the 90's. A half as$ attempt @ a two hour sports show. It eventually was cut to One hr and then 1/2 hr before become defunct.

Im sure some of you will remember CNN Sports Illustrated (CNNSI)

It was a 24-hour sports news channel. It was created by Time Warner, bringing together its CNN and Sports Illustrated brands and related resources. It was launched with much fanfare on December 12, 1996.

CNN/SI aimed to provide the most comprehensive sports news service on television, including news from around the country and around the world.

I watched it on occasion on Prime Star (Direct TV). Then one day it was gone.

Like it or not ESPN is a monster. IMO the only reason NBC Sports Network survives is.... NHL Hockey! And maybe the Dan Patrick show.
