We don’t watch it anymore, but it appears that Fox may be hoping to push Fuel TV into the mainstream by ditching action-only content and running straight into main stream sports coverage, according to a story on Deadline.com
No final decision has been made, but the plan would involve converting the company’s action sports network Fuel (36 million subs) into a new national offering, which would compete against fellow cablers Disney/ABC’s ESPN, Comcast’s new NBC Sports Network and the CBS Sports Network. Like those entities, News Corp is attracted to the juicy affiliate fees a national sports network can command.
Might as well go to where the audience is. It’s certainly not in action sports. But Fuel was a nice try, certainly.

We’d like to think that someday the president of the United States would actually roll into an nuclear security summit with skills like these. Until then, we’ll have to just dream with The Jay Leno Show video effects people who built this Barack Obama clip.

Friends and family gathered at the Tweed Heads Crematorium today (April 5, 2012) for the funeral of Australian surfing legend Michael “MP” Peterson who died of a heart attack on March 29, 2012, according to a story on ABC Gold Coast.
It was a colourful congregation as MP’s mum, Joan Peterson, asked that everyone wore t-shirts, board shorts and thongs. . . Tributes from the international surfing community immediately flowed after the announcement of his death. . . Former world champion Mick Fanning, who grew up surfing the Coolangatta breaks as MP did, tweeted that MP was the ‘Original Coolangatta Kid.’
Many of the surfers who admired him most were contesting the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach during the gathering, however, they were all there in spirit.

Eddie Aikau’s surviving siblings Myra, Solomon and Clyde Aikau have filed suit in Hawaii’s First Circuit Court to stop Glendale, California based Your Half Media Group from “claiming the right to make” a bio-pic on their brother, according to a story on Courthouse New Service.
The Aikaus claim Your Half is falsely claiming publicity rights to Eddie Aikau’s life story, and deterring other film companies from making such a movie. . . The Aikaus, who say they already held all trade and service marks to the use of Eddie’s name, formed Aikau Family LLC in 2010 to reserve publicity rights to his name. . . According to the complaint, in 2004 and without advice of counsel, the plaintiffs executed an agreement giving Your Half Pictures an 18-month option “to use plaintiffs Myra, Solomon and Clyde Aikau’s ‘names, likeness, personal history, etc. as needed, in conjunction with a feature film based upon a book by entitled, ‘Eddie Would Go,’ by Stuart Holmes Coleman.”
But the Aikaus claim Your Half Media failed to make “a significant payment to the Eddie Aikau Foundation” and made no progress on film production. Now the Aikaus are seeing “seek declaratory and injunctive relief and treble damages for tortious interference with prospective economic advantage, unfair and deceptive trade, unfair competition and infringement of publicity rights.” We hope this gets sorted out soon, because Eddie Would Go is a movie we’d like to see.
