News presentation and formats have long since changed and that too quite dramatically. From pre designed scripts which were just to be read; now news has become more interactive with more features, reviews and interviews being combined with the normal news bulletin.
Another major development is the airing of breaking news, live action as it happens from the hub of action. Breaking news is not limited to covering social, political or economic happenings but has extended to the world of sports. Sports breaking news is quickly becoming a frequent feature of most these news channels who aim at getting the complete lowdown about the sports action.
A lot of sports information gets listed daily and is also listed as sports breaking news. But for the sports enthusiast, it is actually of extreme importance that this information is authentic and of consequence. It has been noticed in quite a few instances when sports bloopers are presented as sports breaking news. Usually it takes quite some time to filter such information and get information that is of any real consequence.
To fill out these discrepancies there are a few reliable sports news channels which cover virtually all of the sports breaking news events and provide these to their viewers. A few of these channels are ESPN, Sky Sports News, BBC Sport and Fox Sports and bring latest sports news from around the globe for their viewers.
Fox Sports is one of the most popular sports news providers in the USA. Since their inception they have focused on covering major and also popular sports activities from across the country. Through the years this channel since the channel became more popular; it increased its network and started covering sports action from around the world. In the beginning their primary focus was around the NASCAR series as well as the Daytona 500 and had the exclusive broadcasting rights of the latter.
The channel then began concentrating on Major League Baseball, National Hockey League games and the Bowl Championship Series and also since 2000 Fox Sports has been given the broadcasting rights with the airing of the World Series. Besides this, they, along with their sister channels, also cover football championships from countries such as Japan, Brazil, Argentina, Australia, Italy etc. Fox Sports has also forayed in the world of action sports with the help of Fuel TV another sister channel.
ESPN in contrast calls itself the “worldwide leader from the world of sports”. True to their declaration, they have been successfully covering and bring live sports news and events t their viewers. Together with covering regular sports such as basketball, baseball, cricket, ice hockey etc, ESPN has been key in popularizing extreme sports by broadcasting the one of the kind X Games that may be regarded as one of the most prestigious of all extreme sports competitions.
