MidtownCoog Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Is this the same Fox Sports that is currently in Bellaire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjb434 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I'm guessing this is the TV and radio stuff and not the restraunt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedScare Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 If they are talking about a 150,000 sf building, it would almost have to be the TV people. Do you think it is the whole unit, or maybe just Fox Sports Southwest's regional production? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjb434 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Good point.I could see it as the FSW unit. I don't see the NFL pregame and halftime show coming from the Woodlands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bachanon Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 where is there a thirty acre tract in the woodlands available for this type of development? research forest maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bachanon Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 why is that funny? ohhhhh, i see. "reporting from the woodlands in texas, we want to give you the latest update on the florida team (i don't know any) and the team from arizona (again, i don't know any). it will definately be a corporate/a/v setting.

f95kai Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 It HAS to be FSW only. They wouldn't put national media headquarters into a remote area like ours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjb434 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Only if there was no way they would have gotten it without the abatement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidtownCoog Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 After a review of competing proposals from various states, Tyrer says The Woodlands was the best fit for Fox's needs.Fox's needs = Fox's greediness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjb434 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I wouldn't call getting the best deal greedy.Are you too greedy when you ask a dealership to lower the price of the car or throw in some extras for their asking price?I'm more likely to move somewhere where taxes are low and the cost of living is high. Low and behold I'm in Houston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidtownCoog Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I am no fan of corporate handout. Like Fox needs 100% for 500 jobs to come to The Woodlands.Many of which will just live in Houston, anyway, and take the Hardy to work.

pineda Posted October 27, 2005 Author Share Posted October 27, 2005 story in Chronicle todayFrom the article:"Fox Network had been looking at several sites in the Southwest. Tyrer said the company chose The Woodlands because of its nearby employees, the site and the access to technology."and, of course, this might have had something to do with their decision:"Fox Cable Networks has been offered a 10-year, 100 percent tax abatement from Montgomery County.The network will be exempt from paying taxes on improvements to the property, valued at $11.2 million."
