Looks like I won’t be watching much of Fox Sports 1 on its opening day.
Fox Sports 1 announced its schedule for its big debut Aug. 17. Lots of NASCAR and UFC.
So that’s great if you enjoy NASCAR and the UFC fans are excited about a big day.
However, if you are like me, and NASCAR and UFC aren’t your thing, you probably won’t be investing much time with Fox Sports 1 on Day 1.
Fox Sports 1 is more promising more announcements tomorrow.
