Answering the call for consistent air times and more lifestyle-oriented programming, the Pro Tour is happy to announce an agreement with Fox Sports Net to air our shows in their action sports hour. The hour titled "Fusion TV" airs Wednesdays at 4:00 pm in the coveted "after school" block. Airing our shows at the same time and on the same day of the week will deliver the best time slot on a consistent basis since the
days of hot summer nights. Because of Fox's regional setup, the show will air on the both East Coast and the West Coast at 4:00. (It's repeated in the late night at 2:00 am).
Also part of this agreement, the tour will also re-air on Fox's new Extreme Sports and Lifestyle Channel set to launch in July 2003, and will be syndicated in over 100 countries worldwide.
The Pro Tour will also maintain its long-standing relationship with ESPN2. Selected events will remain on the network that has been instrumental in building the sport.
All together the Pro Tour is providing 15 original productions with the total airings projecting to exceed 40.
On the production side, a completely new treatment, including more profiles and lifestyle footage, will make the shows more entertaining and interesting to watch.
The following event broadcast dates and time are organized by the network that will broadcast them.
