Pay TV group Fox Sports could launch a dedicated cricket channel if it gains the broadcasting rights to some or all Big Bash League matches. Fox Sports is believed to be considering a bid for the domestic Twenty20 series, potentially in partnership with the Nine Network. Nine has previously expressed interest in the rights to the BBL, which has attracted strong ratings for the Ten Network. Fox Sports is also seeking rights to A-League and Socceroos matches.
