Front Office Sports, the website owned by Redbird IMI, headed by Jeff Zucker and funded by persons from Abu Dhabi, is starting a nightly sports program called "Front Office Sports Tonight" in syndication on Sept. 14 on stations covering 85% of the U.S., including the Fox-owned stations--it purports to be more "inside" about the day's major sports studies and less about "SportsCenter"-ish highlights packages:
Zucker says that the show is viable because broadcast television is driven these days by sports--LIke "ET", it will be a weeknight strip and a one-hour weekend show.
