===National prime time programming===
In addition to regional programming, the Fox Sports Networks carried some prime time programming distributed to all of the regional networks (including past and present series such as ''The Best Damn Sports Show Period'' and ''[[Chris Myers]] Interviews''). FSN tried to compete with ESPN in regards to original programming, most notably with the ''[[National Sports Report]]'', a daily sports news program designed to compete with ESPN's ''[[SportsCenter]]'', which debuted on FSN in 1996. Originally a two-hour program known as ''Fox Sports News'', the running time of ''National Sports Report'' was steadily cut back (eventually dwindling to 30 minutes) as its ratings declined and the cost of producing the program increased. FSN hired popular former ''SportsCenter'' anchor [[Keith Olbermann]] and used him to promote the show heavily; ratings continued to slide (especially as ''Best Damn Sports Show Period''<nowiki/>'s popularity increased), however, leading Fox Sports to cancel the ''National Sports Report'', which aired its last edition in February 2002.

In some markets, FSN aired the ''Regional Sports Report'' (whose headline title was usually customized with the name of the region in which the particular program was broadcast, such as the ''Midwest Sports Report'' or ''[[Detroit Sports Report]]''), a companion news program focusing primarily on regional sports as well as highlights and news on other sports teams that debuted in 2000 to complement the ''National Sports Report''; many of the regional reports were cancelled in 2002 due to increasing costs of producing the individual programs.<ref>{{cite news|title=Fox Sports Net cancels 'National Sports Report'|url=http://www.enquirer.com/editions/2002/01/17/spt_fox_sports_net.html|newspaper=[[The Cincinnati Enquirer|Enquirer]]|date=January 17, 2002}}</ref>

Most of the national studio programming seen on FSN originated from the [[Metromedia Square|Fox Television Center]] in [[Hollywood, California]]; in 1998, operations moved to the new Fox Network Center, located on the 20th Century Fox backlot in [[Century City]]. Some programming was instead produced from the FSN headquarters in the [[Westwood, Los Angeles|Westwood]] district.
