Happy New Year from FOX Sports South
Jeff Genthner Senior Vice President, General Manager
Before we look forward, let’s take a look back at a historic 2013 for FOX Sports with the launch of FOX Sports 1 and FOX Sports 2. The addition of these networks now allows FOX Sports to deliver even more sports programming to fans on a daily basis. And at FOX Sports South, we saw the Atlanta Braves reclaim the National League East crown, and enjoyed playoff runs by the Atlanta Hawks, Memphis Grizzlies and Atlanta Dream.

With the holiday season behind us, we are already gearing up for the 2014 Braves season on FOX Sports South and SportSouth. On February 13th, the team will be heading south for spring training. Cory McCartney and the rest of the foxsportssouth.com staff will provide continued coverage throughout the spring and in to the regular season. This January will also see continued coverage of our NBA and NHL teams as they angle for playoff spots. We are also excited to bring hoop fans some top-notch conference basketball games from the ACC, SEC, Conference USA and Big East.

Last month, Atlanta Hawks guard Kyle Korver set an NBA record of consecutive games with a 3-pointer made. Korver’s 90th straight game with a three-pointer took place vs. Cleveland and was aired on SportSouth. As of January 9th, the streak sits at an impressive 105 games. Congratulations to Kyle for this tremendous accomplishment. The Fox Sports regional networks across the southeast will televise more sporting events than ever before in 2014. It’s going to be a great year!
Here’s to a very Happy and Healthy 2014! - Jeff
