History
Fox Sports South had its origins as the Turner Broadcasting System network SportSouth. It was purchased by News Corporation's Fox Cable group in 1996 and renamed Fox Sports South. In 2004 it became FSN South.
Fox Sports South formerly produced the Southern Sports Report in their Midtown Atlanta studios, when the "regional sports reports" were a prime focus of the collective FSN networks. Other FSN networks also received their local sports reports from the Atlanta studios, often with the same hosts (Terry Chick being the most prominent). The Southern Sports Report was discontinued in 2005, and FSN South produced a similar program, Around The South, that focuses on sports stories in and across the region. It has been replaced by FSN Final Score.
Ironically, Fox Sports South's original name SportSouth is now the name of its sister network. Like Fox Sports South, that network (which was originally named Turner South) was originally owned by Turner and sold to Fox to become part of the FSN group.
