Fox Sports Live
''Fox Sports Live'' is an American sports news program that aired on Fox Sports 1. It was hosted by Canadian sportscasters Jay Onrait and Dan O'Toole, who had been well-known locally for their late-night editions of TSN's '' SportsCentre''. The program was initially formatted as the channel's sportscast of record, in a similar manner to ESPN's ''SportsCenter'', featuring highlights and analysis of the day's major sporting events and previews of upcoming events, as well as panel discussions, and other, sometimes-comedic segments. After low viewership and a realignment of FS1's editorial operations towards personality and opinion-based programs, the program was retooled in February 2016 as ''Fox Sports Live with Jay and Dan''. It adopted a late-night talk show-styled format, with a larger focus on comedy segments and interviews than straight sports news. ''Fox Sports Live'' was cancelled on February 23, 2017, with Jay and Dan subsequently returning to TSN to host a revival of the ...
