FoxSports Redesign Hopes To Score With Fans

The full redesign will be completed over the next several months and will make FoxSports.com a more comprehensive hub of sports news, video and event coverage. The site has 15 million monthly unique visitors.

"Today marks a great step for FOXSports.com on MSN as we continue building the most comprehensive sports media experience for fans on the Web," said Brian Grey, Senior Vice President and GM of FOX Sports Interactive.

 "The site's new features make it even easier for fans to discover sports news, features and video -- and share the experience with their friends and fellow fans."

New features of the re-launch are a wider design, more content for both text and video that will be above the fold. They also will have a stronger focus on major sports events such as the Super Bowl, NASCAR races and the World Series.

In addition FoxSports.com will have a new community with personalization features that will allows users to customize their sports preferences by favorite teams, create their own profile and interact with other sports fans in a social network like environment.
