FuelTV on TopTV won't be changing its name to Fox Sports 2 'at this point in time' when FuelTV changes in August in the United States.



FuelTV (TopTV 225) on TopTV in South Africa won't be changing the extreme sport channel's name to Fox Sports 2 when FuelTV in America changes to Fox Sports 2 in August.

Although FuelTV in the United States will be getting a massive makeover in August and will be changing to the Fox Sports 2 TV channel, FuelTV as it's shown internationally will remain FuelTV, Fox International Channels (FIC) which distributes the channel, tells me.

"At this point in time the channel will retain its name internationally," FIC tells me.

When FuelTV in the US changes to Fox Sports 2 the channel will be loaded with more and more varied sports content and will join Fox Sports 1 which is also launched in August on what until now has been Fox's soccer satellite TV channel.
