MUMBAI: More than a year after rebranding ESPN Star Sports as Fox Sports, Fox International Channels (FIC) has said that it will implement a wide-scale upgrade in its Fox Sports Asia network, effective 15 August.
The change will see the network rebrand its portfolio of channels, which currently includes Fox Sports, Fox Sports Plus HD, Star Sports to Fox Sports, Fox Sports 2 and Fox Sports 3.
All of these channels will be available in both SD and HD. This change will take effect in all countries across Asia where Fox Sports network channels are available, with the exception of China and South Korea where the Star Sports brand will be offered.
Fox Sports News and Fox Football Channel HD will remain unchanged and Fox Sports Play and Fox Sports Mobile will continue to be the network’s non-linear play.
Since launching Fox Sports in Asia in January 2013, FIC has been steadily committed to its mission of changing the sports broadcasting landscape in this region and bringing to audiences not only the sports they want to see, but also the best possible viewing experience. The launch of Fox Sports, Fox Sports 2 and Fox Sports 3 along with the following upgrade plans underscore this commitment.
Three new channel brands in HD
With this trio of premium sports channels, all available in stunning HD, viewers no longer have to choose when more than one of their favourite sports are on at the same time. In addition, each channel will cater for a distinct group of sports fans.
Fox Sports – The Flagship Channel
Top-tier sports, most popular local sports, pivotal games, matches and races will be on this flagship channel, such as the Barclays Premier League (BPL), La Liga, UFC, Tennis Grand Slam semis and finals, and F1 main races.
Fox Sports 2 – Hit & Run
This will be the go-to sports channel for athletics and ball and racquet sports, such as Tennis Grand Slams, Golf Majors, European and Asian football leagues, Major League Baseball (MLB), Indian Badminton League (IBL) and International Amateur Athletics Federation (IAAF) events.
Fox Sports 3 – Feel the Rush
This will be the top destination for adrenaline-fuelled motorsports, combat and extreme sports such as F1, MotoGP, One FC and Extreme Games Asia.
