Fox Sports

Not too worried about the ticker, was too crowded anyway. Fox Sports US ticker usually just has results and upcoming games.

Just get rid of the weather on the bottom left. It pointless on a sports channel.

According to Mediaweek and others:

Fetch becomes another UFC Australian official broadcaster

The sport remains on Fox Sports in Australia, which is also an “Official Broadcaster of the UFC”. Fox Sports maintains its content on its Fox Sports channels while PPV events continue to be available exclusively in licensed venues via Fox Sports and Foxtel will be continuing to offer UFC PPV events to residential customers too.

As mentioned but the lighting is very dull and the audio seems of poor quality as well.
Looks like the rising energy prices have hit them hard. :grinning:

The audio is all echoy at times. Also seen supers with no info on them.

Supers with no info on them?, that’s sums up Sky News.:stuck_out_tongue:

Unusual looking score graphics for the Sri Lanka vs India Test match (being played in Sri Lanka).

Looks kind of retro and similar to IPL graphics (same host broadcaster I think). Not a fan.

and your posting that because???

that is old…

Sunday Herald Sun reports Fox Sports has signed a new broadcast deal with FIBA, covering the rights to national team competitions involving the Boomers and the Opals, starting with the men’s Asia Cup which starts in Lebanon this Tuesday. It will include the Boomers’ and Opals’ home and away games, the 2019 FIBA men’s World Cup in China including its qualifiers, the 2018 FIBA women’s World Cup in Spain, Olympic qualifying tournaments, the men’s and women’s Asia Cup as well as Continental Cup qualifiers.

You do realise they changed their graphics last week

Fox sports news is unwatchable… constant audio issues, poor vision switching between cameras, lighting issues, the new set is horrible and small and pokey.

Sky news Australia cannot produce quality if they tried. Just woeful compared to what fox sports was producing a few weeks ago.

The only good thing that has come out of Sky taking over FSN is that the channel airs much more live content compared to the old format where often the same 1/2 hour bulletin would be repeated a few times in-a-row.

But is the content watchable? It is meant to be a news channel. Dip in, get some results, go elsewhere…

Also a lot more live press conferences too, which I found to be lacking when Fox Sports were running it. On that point, kudos to Sky.

You just can’t escape the feeling of amateurishness though nowadays. Audio issues are still there, and there are a lot more cases of a reporter doubling as a camera operator (quite obvious in some cases) than before Sky News took over. It’s the small things too - gone are the really nice customised wind socks they had, instead being replaced by plain old mic flags.

At least the graphics are still there… for now at least!

The audio issues is by far the worst. Poor microphones and noise in the background. It’s horrific.
