Fox Sports International Launches Business-to-Business Website

Fox Sports International (FSI) has launched www.foxsports.co.uk a United Kingdom-based, business-to-business web site which links worldwide broadcasters and prospective buyers with available FSI international programming, it was announced today by Bob Thompson, President, Fox Sports International and Fox Sports Networks.

The web site will act as a portal for buyers looking to tap into FSI’s wide-ranging international library of available programming, which includes 15 distinctive sports categories and nearly 2,000 hours of quality sports programming. Sample premier-level events and leagues that are currently available vary from the popular PGA TOUR to Australian Rules Football to the Argentine Football League. These events and many more are available to business-smart distributors who wish to engage their viewers with more options, more sports and more diversity in programming.

Said Thompson of the new site, ‘It is important for us to keep our clients and potential clients well informed of our current library. With over 185 buyers approaching us from a dozen time zones around the world, a 24-hour virtual sales person serves as a necessary conduit.’

Beyond listing the available product, www.foxsports.co.uk will offer the web surfer a wide selection of business transactions and data: the ability to search the site by specific sports category; to receive e-mail alerts when new programming is available within their specific geographic territories and to order a sample video of the programming at hand. In addition, the site can provide additional value to the rights holders/organizers by facilitating the functionality that allows the linking of many of the participating distributors.

Groundhog Software, an Adelaide-based Internet and eCommerce specialists, built the site.
