    Fox Sports Southwest

    Does anybody else living in Baton Rouge hate Fox Sports Southwest? There is rarely any coverage on anything worth watching. I could care less what Texas, A&M, Baylor or anybody in the Big 12 is doing. I want to see things about the SEC. The Saints get almost no coverage with everthing slanted towards Texas teams. The only things that are good are the Astros and Rockets, but the Rockets are now taking a back seat to the Hornets. They should call it Fox Sports Texas. :angry:

    I recently was at the beach in Florida where the local cable had Fox Sports Southeast. It was like I died and went to heaven. There were tons of features on SEC teams, teams that I was interested in because they affect LSU. No Big 12 team will ever affect LSU unless they play us in a bowl.

    So, the purpose of my rant. Maybe if they get a bunch of emails complaining about Fox Sports Southwest, they'll change. Tell them how you feel. The more things about LSU on TV the better.

    I agree. We get SW in Monroe, too. It sucks. I called our cable provider (Time Warner) and complained and they said they had no influence in what Fox channel they could carry. They said Fox told them what channel was available in their area and it was either carry it or don't. I found that very surprising. I would think Fox wouldn't care what channel they carried.

    Yeah -- I'm in Baton Rouge and I get it (along with the hairstyle with the overdone voice). Should just call it Fox Sports Texas -- all they ever show.

    Thanks, Mike

    I just emailed the marketing dept.

    I also emailed [email protected] I figured they'd have more of an interest in the change than southwest would.

    Just got the email I sent to [email protected] back undeliverable. I figured that would be a valid email address since the other was [email protected]

    If anyone has an email for the southeast channel, let me know. Thanks.

    Yes Fox Sports Southwest is horrid, but from what I have heard, it is up to your local cable provider as to which is aired in your region.

    As long as the line of demarcation is the Mississippi and not the Sabine River (as it should be), nothing will change.

    Amen MikeD! Let's jump on this people b/c I want to see in depth Big 12 sports coverage in the Baton Rouge area about as much as I want to see Phil Fulmer in a two-piece.

    Thanks again, MikeD. I just emailed that address. So now I've emailed their marketing dept, their Southwest channel, and their south channel. It would be good if all the rest of you guys would do the same. Thanks
