The New England
sports network, NESN, is partnering with Scout Productions
to produce a new reality show Sox Appeal. The 10-episode series will
begin airing in July and will chronicle three, two-inning length blind dates
that happen during eight televised Red Sox games all shot inside Fenway Park.
The "hero" date must choose between three hopefuls and during the 7th inning
stretch must finally decide who will be the romantic "date" for the remainder of
the game. Strikeouts can happen, though, with these Sox fans. For information on
casting for the show wait for the Sox Appeal web site to launch in mid-February.
DirecTV and CBS have a new multi-year pact allowing DirecTV to continue airing NCAA out-of-market games during CBS Sports' broadcast of the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship. DirecTV subscribers must purchase the NCAA Mega March Madness package and they will receive up to 37 out-of-market games from the first three rounds of the championship. DirecTV customers will also get the chance to view all 64 games of the NCAA tournament. In addition, CBS' CSTV is now viewed by more than 8 million DirecTV customers, taking the CSTV household reach to more than 20 million homes across the U.S. Post NATPE Update:
Sirius Satellite Radio will launch a new channel called The Foxxhole, an entertainment/comedy channel from Jamie Foxx who will serve as on-air host and exec producer, along with exec prod Marcus King. Foxx plans to chime in on a daily basis, filing his contributions from where ever he is at the time. Content will include standup, talk radio, and music.
