Furthermore, ESPN's entire presentation of the New Year's Six plus the CFP National Championship was the most-watched in the system's four-year history.

[via press release from FOX Sports] FOX SPORTS PRIMED TO OWN THE WEEKEND WITH ADDITION OF LOADED COLLEGE FOOTBALL SCHEDULE
Nation's Best Rivalries, Conference Championships and More Highlight Network's Fall Lineup
136 Matchups Set for FOX Broadcast Network, FS1, FOX Sports Regional Networks and BTN

New York - FOX Sports, last year's leader in live events, today deepens its footprint with the release of its highest quality college football schedule to date with 136 games on the FOX broadcast network, FS1, FOX Sports Regional Networks and BTN. This fall, FOX Sports owns the weekend with an impressive lineup featuring top games from the Big 12, Big Ten and Pac-12 conferences, including some of the season's most notable games like Michigan at Ohio State, USC at Texas and the Red River Showdown between Texas and Oklahoma, plus the Pac-12 and Big Ten championship games.
"We are excited to present what we think is going to be our best season of college football yet," said FOX Sports President, Production and Executive Producer John Entz. "From the nation's best rivalries like Michigan-Ohio State and the Red River Showdown, to a pair of conference championships that are sure to influence the postseason conversation, FOX College Football televises some of the most meaningful games of the season, and we're already looking forward to the first snap."
One year after registering as FOX Sports' most-watched regular-season college football game ever, the sport's most historic matchup returns to the FOX broadcast network during "Rivalry Week" when Michigan makes its way to The Horseshoe on Saturday, Nov. 24 to face Ohio State with coverage beginning at 11:00 AM ET. The 115th meeting of "The Game" highlights a prominent weekend for FOX Sports, which begins with an NFL showdown between the Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day, followed by Nebraska at Iowa in the Heroes Game, and in-state showdowns between Washington and Washington State and Oregon at Oregon State on Friday, Nov. 23.
After last season's fitting rematch of the 2006 BCS National Championship Game between USC and Texas, which saw the Trojans triumph in a double-overtime thriller with former USC quarterback and FOX College Football analyst Matt Leinart getting in on the action, the renewed rivalry once again calls FOX Sports home. On Saturday, Sept. 15, at 8:00 PM ET on FOX, USC heads into Big 12 territory to face Texas in Austin for the first time since 1966.
In the heart of the State Fair of Texas, and amidst FOX Sports' MLB Postseason coverage, the Red River Showdown returns to the FOX Sports family of networks for the second time and first since 2016 - a matchup that still ranks as FS1's second most-watched college football game ever. Following the departure of Heisman Trophy winner Baker Mayfield, the Oklahoma Sooners look to extend their current winning streak against the Longhorns on Saturday, Oct. 6, at Cotton Bowl Stadium in Dallas. The following day, football fans won't need to venture further for another round of hotly contested gridiron action, as the Minnesota Vikings face the Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles in an NFC Championship Game rematch during AMERICA'S GAME OF THE WEEK on Sunday, Oct. 7.
This year the Pac-12 returns to Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Friday, Nov. 30 for the conference's championship game, while the Big Ten Championship is back home again in Indiana at Indianapolis' Lucas Oil Stadium on Saturday, Dec. 1. FOX Sports closes out the season and the calendar year on Monday, Dec. 31 with back-to-back bowl games, beginning with coverage of the San Francisco Bowl at 2:30 PM ET on the FOX broadcast network and the San Diego County Credit Union Holiday Bowl at 6:30 PM ET on FS1.
Other top games include:
· Aug. 30-Sept. 1: The college football season kicks off with three straight days of action over Labor Day weekend, including appearances from top teams like Oklahoma, Penn State and Stanford on FOX, FS1 and BTN.
· Sept. 8: A FOX tripleheader features one of the top non-conference matchups of the season, as coverage of UCLA at Oklahoma begins at 12:30 PM ET, followed by Iowa State at Iowa at 5:00 PM ET and anchored by USC at Stanford in a Pac-12 Championship Game rematch at 8:30 PM ET.
· FOX Sports and BTN are the primary home to the Big Ten as the season begins, with 26 of the conference's 32 games in the first three weeks televised on FOX, FS1 and BTN.
· Oct. 20: Conference, division and in-state rivals Michigan and Michigan State battle for the Paul Bunyan Trophy and bragging rights coming off last season's surprising upset, which saw the unranked Spartans take down the No. 7 Wolverines.
Games are simulcast on the FOX Sports app, which now provides live streaming video of FOX Sports content through iOS and Android devices.
The 2018 college football schedule for FOX, FS1, FOX Sports Regional Networks and BTN is attached. The remainder of the schedule will be announced as the season progresses.

In season two of Get Shorty, Miles Daly (Chris O'Dowd) struggles to reconcile his ambitions as a filmmaker and a family man with his skill set as a career criminal. His progress in Hollywood is jeopardized when the washed-up producer (Ray Romano), with whom he partnered in season one, agrees to wear a Federal wire. Miles faces off with criminal financiers and with a Hollywood power-broker who could be the most dangerous of all.

Filming Starts in Malaysia on Season Six of Cinemax Action Series "Strike Back"
Filming Starts in Malaysia on Season Six of Cinemax Action Series "Strike Back"
Returning stars Warren Brown, Daniel MacPherson and Alin Sumarwata are joined by new cast members Jamie Bamber and Yasemin Allen.
[via press release from Cinemax] FILMING STARTS IN MALAYSIA ON SEASON SIX OF CINEMAX ACTION SERIES "STRIKE BACK"
Filming has begun on the ten-episode sixth season of CINEMAX's high-octane drama series STRIKE BACK, which will be shot entirely in Malaysia. Returning stars Warren Brown ("Luther," "The Dark Knight Rises"), Daniel MacPherson ("A Wrinkle in Time") and Alin Sumarwata ("Neighbours," "Burning Man") are joined by new cast members Jamie Bamber ("Battlestar Galactica," "Monday Mornings") and Yasemin Allen ("Water and Fire").
When a Russian bomber crashes in the South China Sea, the covert special-ops soldiers of Section 20 - Thomas "Mac" McAllister (Warren Brown), Samuel Wyatt (Daniel MacPherson) and Gracie Novin (Alin Sumarwata) - are sent on a mission to investigate. There, they cross paths with Katrina Zarkova (Yasemin Allen), a rogue Russian operative with questionable loyalties.
Under orders of the new commanding officer, Col. Alexander Coltrane (Jamie Bamber), Section 20 pursues stolen contents of the Russian jet across Southeast Asia. They will work alongside the Malaysian police to shut down a Triad gang in Kuala Lumpur, uncover a corrupt plot by a wealthy Indian businesswoman running for Parliament and plunge into the jungles of the Golden Triangle in Myanmar, facing off against mercenary drug agents and terrifying warlords, as they uncover a conspiracy that threatens to push the world to the brink of global conflict.
"STRIKE BACK has reestablished CINEMAX as a destination for adrenalized, entertaining action series," notes Kary Antholis, president, HBO Miniseries and CINEMAX Programming. "We are delighted to offer Section 20 the opportunity to continue saving the world from mayhem and destruction."
Jack Lothian, writer and executive producer, says, "We're delighted to be back with CINEMAX and Sky for a new season of STRIKE BACK. We have fantastic actors and crew members who work incredibly hard to provide big-screen action for the small screen, with all the drama, high stakes, and mayhem that involves, and I can't wait for the audience to see the twists and turns we've got lined up."
Among the critical praise for the series, TVGuide.com described the previous season of STRIKE BACK as a "visually stunning" show that "regularly delivers action sequences on par with many feature films."
This new season marks CINEMAX's sixth - and UK co-producer Sky's seventh - in the STRIKE BACK franchise. In 2013, CINEMAX aired Sky's first season of the series as "Strike Back: Origins."

"ESPN+ has quickly established itself as a go-to destination for exclusive sports content," said ESPN Executive Vice President of Programming and Scheduling Burke Magnus.

"This additional agreement gives the Atlantic 10 and its membership unprecedented visibility on some of the best streaming technology in sports, and it gives ESPN+ a wealth of high-level collegiate sports content. I can't thank ESPN enough for their partnership with the Atlantic 10 Conference."
