So, How's That Fox Sports 1 Thing Working Out?

You'd think the constant promos, numerous ads, promises of not being ESPN, and talk about Regis for the past six months would lead to a big first week for Fox Sports 1.
Not really. More like 161,000 average viewers.
FS1 finished fifth in primetime for it's first week, trailing not only ESPN but also the NFL and MLB's networks. To add insult to injury, they were only 3,000 viewers better than last year, when the network was Speed Channel. Both Fox Sports Live and Regis' Crowd Goes W!ld did poorly, but the news isn't all bad: they managed to beat Golf Channel and NBATV.
But the news does get worse. FS1 is down to 81,000 average viewers in total day ratings, less than the 100k Speed Channel got last year. And two NASCAR Truck races were the network's highest-rated programs.
But hey, at least you got that whole "fun" thing going for you.
