Fox Sports 1 will offically launch this Saturday and will replace Speed Channel. Since the introduction of Fox Sports 1 as a competitor to ESPN, Fox has been hyping that come this Saturday, Fox Sports 1 will be available in nearly 90 million homes.
Over the last couple of weeks, word has leaked that this may not be the case and today, Sports Business Daily is reporting that several major cable & satellite providers have yet to sign on to carry Fox Sports 1 and those who don't, will receive a stripped down version of Speed Channel.
These things always go down to the last minute and with NCAA Football and Basketball, along with MLB Baseball, increased coverage of NASCAR, and with Fox winning the TV rights to the US Open, those providers who aren't on board with Fox Sports 1 from the beginning, will soon be on board.
