Fox Soccer Channel, the American TV network which only broadcasts soccer, was launched on February 7, 2005, replacing an "international" sports network called Fox Sports World, which also broadcast rugby and cricket in addition to soccer. Yesterday, June 14, it unveiled a new look for the the channel and associated businesses, like its companion channel Fox Soccer Plus and the websites FoxSoccer.com and FoxSoccer.tv.
The rebrand drops the word "Channel" from the channel's name, and it will now be known as Fox Soccer. The reasoning behind this is that the audience now has access to Fox Soccer content not only through TV screens, but also through other platforms. We've seen this trend before, most recently last week when the Science Channel shortened its name to Science.
The new look will be launched on all platforms on August 13 with a new set of "high-tech" on-air graphics.
