Fox Sports is a division of the Fox Broadcasting Company (part of News Corporation). It was formed in 1994 with Fox's acquisition of broadcast rights to National Football League games. In subsequent years, it has televised the National Hockey League (1994–1999), Major League Baseball (1996–present), NASCAR (2001–present), Bowl Championship Series (2007–2010), and the UEFA Champions League final (2010-present).
Fox has become the exclusive home of the Daytona 500 after having alternated the event with NBC Sports throughout their first NASCAR contract. In partnership with co-owned motorsports cable network Speed, Fox has also broadcast the start of the Rolex 24 at Daytona and select Formula One races under Speed production since 2007, and also carries 2 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series races per season transferred from Speed, produced under the NASCAR on Fox brand.
Fox Sports has been the exclusive broadcaster of the World Series since 2000. A new contract announced on July 11, 2006, guarantees that Fox Sports will keep the World Series through the 2013 season.
In 2010, Fox aired the UEFA Champions League Final, marking the network's first ever broadcast of soccer. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
