FOXTEL and AUSTAR today announced a major expansion of its sports services through the creation of a new premium digital channel, FOX SPORTS 3.
FOX SPORTS 3 will launch in October with a 24-hour-a-day service that includes new live and exclusive Australian and international sports television.
Premier Media Group (PMG), which owns and operates all the FOX SPORTS services, will produce the new channel that will extend and complement FOX SPORTS 1, FOX SPORTS 2 and FOX SPORTS NEWS.
FOX SPORTS 3 will offer expanded coverage of domestic and international football, cricket, tennis, golf, rugby union and more.
The new channel will also include specially produced magazine programs on a wide range of sports made to the highest standards for which FOX SPORTS is renowned.
FOX SPORTS 3 will showcase all football matches included as part of a wide-ranging agreement reached recently between Football Federation Australia and PMG.
This includes the Hyundai A-League live and exclusive, Australia international matches, next year's Asian Cup, and the Asian Champions League, which will include Australian teams for the first time in 2007. The channel will also expand its live coverage of the English Premier League.
In addition, this summer FOX SPORTS 3 will televise a range of domestic and international cricket including exclusive coverage of the domestic limited-overs competition, Twenty20 matches and nightly highlights of the much-anticipated Ashes series.

16. Fox Sports to launch premium channel
By Glenn Dyer
A week after Foxtel boss, Kim Williams, publicly mused with his mates in
The Australian Media section about the doubtful future of the Fox Footy
Channel, fate has intervened and provided a solution. Premier Media
Group, the most powerful company in the Australian Pay TV industry, has
announced it's launching its much rumoured Fox Sports 3 Channel in
October.
It will be a premium channel, meaning it will be an add-on to the basic
Foxtel packages which contain two Fox Sports channels. And the
announcement has bad news for sports fans. All the A-League soccer will
now move to the new channel and you will have to pay for it – no more
freebies on the existing Fox Sports 1 and 2 channels.
Plus all the domestic one day cricket that Nine flicked to Premier to
cut costs in April will now cost cricket tragics more money to see. The
Twenty20 and the Pura Cup final will be bonuses. That means in the space
of a few months the domestic one-day series (the old ING matches) has
gone from being free on Nine and pulling around 250,000 to 400,000 (on a
good day), to appearing on a premium Pay TV channel and probably being
watched by 10,000 to 20,000 people at most.
No news on the AFL but with the soccer and cricket both summer sports,
there will be a yawning gap next winter that the NRL games, presently
shown on Fox Sports 1 and 2, won't be filling.
This is all being programmed by Premier Media (half owned by PBL and
News Ltd) and not Foxtel. Fox Sports 1 and 2 consistently generate the
biggest audiences on Foxtel, especially during the winter months with
the NRL and AFL games. So what Premier wants goes at Foxtel!
