James Murdoch Discusses FOX RSNs, FOX Sports 1

Excerpts from James Murdoch's appearance this week at the UBS Global Media and Communications Conference in NY: 

Q: On Fox Sports side, obviously, some big changes and some investments. What's the long-term vision for Fox Sports? I mean, as we sort of look at the rest of the decade, the Big 10 I think is the last  sort of big piece that comes up and seems to slot right in for various reasons, but there's no other major sports  renewals until next decade. So, at this point, is this just sort of operate what you have well and wait for the next round of big stuff to come up next decade or is there more to it than that?
