Fox Sports

May not be logistically possible with the sheer size of area they need to cover.

Back when they did do it 4k it was only really half 4k because it wasn’t all 4k cameras. I’m not to sure what the set-up would look like now if NEP were to do again.

Exactly the point, not worth doing unless you can do it all.

Does anyone know why there are suddenly two Main event channels? 521, 522.

Haney v Kambosos Jr 2 starts at 11am Sunday and Wilder v Helenius starts at noon Sunday and on October 30, Lomachenko v Ortiz is on at the same time as Paul v Silva. So, they probably added an extra channel to deal with the overlaps.

Previously they had a PPV event on 507 when this happened, back when that channel didn’t have a full schedule.

From Her Way. As she is 11, she doesn’t use her full name due to privacy.

Good on her! She’s the female sport equivalent of our own Leo!

Why is Fox blurring the Ten watermark now?

The stuff that Supercars uploads to their YouTube channel does not have Ten’s watermark blurred:


Some of the earlier Bathurst replays on Kayo is also not blurred:

interesting, maybe they’re from Fox’s library then (Fox held replay rights for a long time)

Would have to be since that was the 2000 race and Fox somehow has it in widescreen.
Supercars only seems to have copies in 4:3 until 2003 (image below of 2001):

Vs Fox’s copy

May have also been blurred back in the day (before digital widescreen, as 2000 was) for the benefit of when Fox Sports was also in 4:3, so you didn’t have the mishmash of logos on top of each other (seeing both the top left and top right spots were already taken).
