RED, WHITE & FIGHT WEEK WAS KNOCKOUT SUCCESS FOR FOX SPORTS 1

Over 40 Hours of UFC Programming Drives Channel to Audience Achievements

FOX Sports 1 was No. 1 Ad-Supported Cable Sports Net in Prime Three Times in Last 11 Days

New York -- FOX Sports 1 celebrated the July 4th holiday weekend as never before with Red, White & Fight Week, a massive dose of UFC(R) programming, highlighted by the UFC 175 PRELIMS and THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER SEASON 19 FINALE, plus a pair of 90-minute specials, all live from Las Vegas. FOX Sports 1 aired 44 hours of UFC programming, 16 of which were live, between July 2 and July 6, televising three live fight events and eight live, non-event programs, the volume, promotion and quality of which resulted in several notable audience achievements.

Red, White & Fight Week was anchored by three live fight events: UFC 175 PRELIMS, THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER SEASON 19 FINALE PRELIMS and THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER SEASON 19 FINALE. Eight non-event programs, most hosted by Jay Glazer with Daniel Cormier and Brian Stann, provided support programming: UFC 175 WEIGH-IN on AMERICA'S PREGAME, TUF FINALE WEIGH-IN, UFC 175 PREFIGHT SHOW, UFC 175 POSTFIGHT SHOW, TUF FINALE PREFIGHT SHOW and TUF FINALE post-fight coverage in the body of FOX SPORTS LIVE. Two shows developed specifically for Red, White & Fight Week were UFC TONIGHT: SPECIAL FRIDAY EDITION (live from UFC 175 Weigh-In stage) and UFC TONIGHT: SPECIAL SUNDAY EDITION (from main stage at UFC Fan Expo).

"Being the exclusive home of the UFC is clearly paying dividends for all parties, and Red, White & Fight Week is a great example of how FOX Sports worked with the UFC build a programming event where the sum of the parts is greater than any one fight," said David Nathanson, General Manager and COO, FOX Sports 1 and FOX Sports 2. "We're now looking forward to Red, White & Fight Week being a major highlight of our summer schedule for many years to come."

FOX Sports mobilized the promotional power of its two national sports channels, 15 regional sports networks, and its radio, digital and social platforms to raise awareness for Red, White & Fight Week. Over 2500 Red, White & Fight Week promos ran across FOX Sports 1 & FOX Sports 2, and more than 300 ran across 15 FOX Sports RSNs. Lower-third graphics with live reads promoting Red, White & Fight Week were inserted into over 100 games and programs. In the days prior to the event, hourly live radio reads occurred across 360 FOX Sports Radio network stations. In the two-week lead-up, FOXSports.com established a dedicated microsite to provide digital support and along with UltimateFighter.com featured more than 30 videos, interviews and articles dedicated to Red, White & Fight Week. Addition support came via social media through the FOX Sports Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube accounts.
