    30 June- 13 July C NTENTASIA 2014 www.contentasia.tv l https://www.facebook.com/contentasia?fref=ts facebook.com/contentasia l @contentasia l www.asiacontentwatch.com Fox Asia unveils new sports story Three channel shift all set for 15 August Fox International Channels (FIC) Asia moves another step into its wholly owned sports future in August this year with three repositioned sports brands and a “seri- ously visible upgrade” both on and off screen. Fox Sports, Fox Sports 2 and Fox Sports 3 roll out across the region on 15 August in both standard definition and HD. These replace the previous versions of Fox Sports as well as Fox Sports Plus HD and Star Sports everywhere except China and South Korea, where Star Sports will continue to be offered. Fox Sports News and Fox Football Chan- nel HD remain unchanged, as do the network’s non-linear offerings – Fox Sports Play and Fox Sports Mobile. Each of the new brands will cater to distinct groups of sports fans, says Joon Lee, FIC Asia’s executive vice president, content and communications, APAC and Middle East and managing director, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. Coming two years after the end of the ESPN Star Sports joint venture, the latest branding is aimed at going even bigger with the Fox Sports brand. More simply, “we inherited the Star Sports brand and it’s confusing to have the two with distinctions that are not clear enough,” Lee says. “It’s essential for us to come up with a network under one brand, which is Fox Sports,” he adds.
