Channels that offer genuine sporting events breaking news

By John Mac


News presentation and formats have long since changed and that too quite dramatically. From pre designed scripts that were just to be read; now news has grown to be more interactive with more features, reviews and interviews being combined with the normal news bulletin.

Another major development is the airing of breaking news, live action as it happens in the hub of action. Breaking news is not limited to covering social, political or economic happenings but has extended to the world of sports. Sports breaking news is fast becoming a regular feature of most these news channels who focus on finding the complete lowdown about the sports action.

A great deal of sports information gets listed daily and is also listed as sports breaking news. But for the sports enthusiast, it is of extreme importance that this information is authentic and of consequence. It has been noticed in quite a few instances when sports bloopers are presented as sports breaking news. Usually it takes a while to filter such information and get information which is of any real consequence.

To fill in these discrepancies there are a few reliable sports news channels which cover all the major sports breaking news events and bring them to their viewers. A few of these channels are ESPN, Sky Sports News, BBC Sport and Fox Sports and convey latest sports news from across the world for their viewers.

Fox Sports is among the most popular sports news providers in the USA. Since their inception they have aimed at covering major and also popular sporting events from across the nation. Through the years this channel since the channel became very popular; it increased its network and started covering sports action from across the globe. Initially their primary focus was on the NASCAR series as well as the Daytona 500 and had the exclusive broadcasting rights of the latter.

The channel then began focusing on Major League Baseball, National Hockey League games and the Bowl Championship Series and also since 2000 Fox Sports have been given the broadcasting rights with the airing of the World Series. Besides this, they, along with their sister channels, also cover football championships from countries like Japan, Brazil, Argentina, Australia, Italy etc. Fox Sports has also forayed into the world of action sports with the help of Fuel TV another sister channel.

ESPN in contrast calls itself the "worldwide leader from the arena of sports". In keeping with their declaration, they have been successfully covering and provide live sports news and events t their viewers. Together with covering regular sports like basketball, baseball, cricket, ice hockey etc, ESPN have been key in popularizing extreme sports by broadcasting the only one of the kind X Games that may be considered as one of the most prestigious of all extreme sports competitions.

Sky Sports and BBC Sport remain very well liked in Europe covering virtually all of the sports action form that region. They are going neck to neck when it comes to viewership and cover all the sports breaking news and bring it across for their viewers through their sports news programs.
