How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

The '''''National Sports Report''''' <!--do NOT change it to "was" -->is<!--per [[MOS:TV]]--> a [[newscast|sportscast]] that aired on United States television channel [[Fox Sports Net]].

==Brief history==
The program premiered on November 1, [[1996 in television|1996]], when FSN was launched, as '''''Fox Sports News'''''. The show, which succeeded both the [[Prime Sports|Prime Network]]'s ''Press Box'' and the short-lived ''[[FX (TV channel)|fX]] Sports Show'', aired twice a night, at 6 and 10 p.m (the 10 p.m. edition was later referred to as ''Fox Sports News Primetime''), and also aired in the mornings from 6 to 9 a.m.<ref>((Cite web|last=|last2=|last3=|first3=|last4=|last5=|last6=|last7=|last8=|first8=|last9=|date=1996-11-01|title=Lakers to Jump-Start Fox Sports West|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1996-11-01-sp-60223-story.html|access-date=2021-04-06|website=Los Angeles Times|language=en-US))</ref> It was the national network's equivalent to ''[[SportsCenter]]''. The 6 p.m. edition was originally anchored by [[Kevin Frazier]] (previously co-anchor of ''The fX Sports Show'') with [[James Worthy]] and [[Craig Simpson]] as analysts; the 10 p.m. report was co-anchored by a rotating team, featuring three holdovers from ''Press Box'' (Alan Massengale {himself an ex-''SportsCenter'' anchor}, Tom Kirkland and Randy Sparage), alongside newcomers Dwayne Ballen, [[Suzy Kolber]] (also previously of ESPN), John Walls, Paul Rudy and [[Jeanne Zelasko]].<ref>((Cite web |last=Stewart |first=Larry |date=1996-10-18 |title=NFL Films Is Positive About New Show |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1996-10-18-sp-55166-story.html |access-date=2023-02-16 |website=Los Angeles Times |language=en-US))</ref>

Regular segments of the show included the introduction of the sports headlines at the top of the show with a spinning CGI [[jumbotron]], ''FoxTrot'' (which provided a graphically-enhanced recap of games the broadcast was not covering in-depth),<ref>((Citation |title=Fox Sports News: Foxtrot #1 from November 15, 1996 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkPHqyL2d_s |language=en |access-date=2023-02-17))</ref> ''FoxScopes'' (where analysts would put a specific player under the titular "FoxScope" to examine their moves),<ref>((Citation |title=FOX Sports News Primetime March 19, 1999 (PARTIAL) |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4VKOuDELjw |language=en |access-date=2023-02-17))</ref> ''Stuff You Didn't Know'' (featuring lesser-known sports factoids)<ref>((Citation |title=Fox Sports News: Stuff You Don't Know from April 4, 1997 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3ifrv7ovE8 |language=en |access-date=2023-02-17))</ref> and long-form ''Spotlight'' reports.

The show was originally broadcast from Stage 2 of the original [[Metromedia Square|Fox Television Center]] in Los Angeles, before relocating to Stage 2B of the Fox Network Center, located on the 20th Century Fox backlot in [[Century City|LA's Century City district]], in late 1997 (by which point a New York bureau, headed by [[Michael Kay (sports broadcaster)|Michael Kay]], began operations).<ref>((Cite web |last=Stewart |first=Larry |date=1997-12-12 |title=Marquee Matchup: Fox Challenges ESPN |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1997-dec-12-sp-63411-story.html |access-date=2023-07-26 |website=Los Angeles Times |language=en-US))</ref> For a time, ''Fox Sports News Primetime Newsbreaks'' aired on then-sister network [[FX (TV channel)|FX]] (which at the time was co-owned by [[Liberty Media]] along with many of the FSN affiliates).<ref>((Citation |title=1998 Fox Sports News Primetime Newsbreak on FX May 18-22 1998 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUHv9TX2CzA |language=en |access-date=2022-04-18))</ref>

In 1998, [[Keith Olbermann]] and [[Chris Myers]], both previously of ESPN, were hired and added to the hosting rotation; Olbermann had just come off his first stint at [[MSNBC]], with Fox paying NBC $1 million to let Olbermann out of his contract with them.<ref>((Cite web |last=Stewart |first=Larry |date=1998-11-10 |title=Olbermann, ESPN's Myers Join Fox |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1998-nov-10-sp-41256-story.html |access-date=2023-02-17 |website=Los Angeles Times |language=en-US))</ref><ref>((Cite news |last=Schlosser |first=Joe |date=16 November 1998 |title="Game of Fox and mouse heats up" |pages=6–10 |work=Broadcasting & Cable |url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-BC/BC-1998/BC-1998-11-16.pdf |access-date=17 February 2023))</ref> In concert with Olbermann's debut on January 5, 1999, a new look was introduced (presaging a wide rebrand for Fox Sports Net itself that would roll out shortly afterwards) with a new logo, updated graphics and music, and a modified set; ratings for the program went up the night of Olbermann's debut (having suffered thanks in part to the [[1998–99 NBA lockout|1998-99 NBA lockout]]).<ref>((Cite news |last=Schlosser |first=Joe |date=11 January 1999 |title="High velocity at Fox Sports News" |pages=66 |work=Broadcasting & Cable |url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-BC/BC-1999/BC-1999-01-11.pdf |access-date=17 February 2023))</ref>

On April 12, [[2000 in television|2000]], the show was renamed to the ''National Sports Report'' (also informally referred to as simply "The National" by the anchors, often during teases for the ''NSR'' during the regional reports), with the graphics moving from the previous blue and gold to a new orange-heavy motif; the shows, which continued to trail ''SportsCenter'' in the ratings, began to be followed by the ''Regional Sports Report'' at 11 p.m. (see below).<ref>((Cite web |title="NATIONAL SPORTS REPORT": WAS THIS FSN'S BEST NAME OPTION? |url=https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Daily/Issues/2000/04/14/Sports-Media/$NATIONAL-SPORTS-REPORT-WAS-THIS-FSNS-BEST-NAME-OPTION.aspx |access-date=2023-02-18 |website=www.sportsbusinessjournal.com |date=14 April 2000 |language=en))</ref><ref>((Cite web |title=FOX SPORTS NET ADDS REGIONAL REPORT TO LOCAL MIX |url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2000-04-20-0004200090-story.html |access-date=2023-02-17 |website=Chicago Tribune|date=20 April 2000 ))</ref> Other format changes included the addition of more analysts, answering viewer emails on the air, and ending each broadcast with the ''Final Cut'', an extended montage of sports highlights set to music. The ''NSR'' also began to air on the newly-renamed [[Bally Sports Florida|Fox Sports Net Florida]], which had joined FSN after two years of legal conflicts that prevented it from becoming a full FSN affiliate (it instead aired sportscasts from [[CNN/SI]]).<ref>((Cite web |title=Fox's "Sports Report' on way to Florida |url=https://www.tampabay.com/archive/2000/04/21/fox-s-sports-report-on-way-to-florida/ |access-date=2023-06-09 |website=Tampa Bay Times))</ref> Meanwhile, the Sunday night program was briefly renamed ''The Keith Olbermann Evening News''. The hour-long show debuted on August 6, 2000 (with Olbermann making his final appearance on the ''NSR'' July 5), anchored by Olbermann solo with [[Alex Flanagan]] as a reporter.<ref>((Cite web |last=Stewart |first=Larry |date=2000-07-21 |title=Olbermann Becoming a One-Man Show |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2000-jul-21-sp-56690-story.html |access-date=2023-02-17 |website=Los Angeles Times |language=en-US))</ref><ref>((Cite web |last=Bernstein |first=Paula |date=2000-07-21 |title=Olbermann will sport Fox 'Evening News' |url=https://variety.com/2000/tv/news/olbermann-will-sport-fox-evening-news-1117784055/ |access-date=2023-02-18 |website=Variety |language=en-US))</ref> By April 2001, the ''NSR'' had been cut to a mere half-hour show, running at 10:30&nbsp;p.m. after the ''Regional Sports Report''.<ref>((Cite web |title=Looking To Build Its Audience, FSN Changes News Schedule |url=https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Daily/Issues/2001/02/09/Sports-Media/Looking-To-Build-Its-Audience-FSN-Changes-News-Schedule.aspx |access-date=2023-02-18 |website=www.sportsbusinessjournal.com |date=9 February 2001 |language=en))</ref><ref>((Cite web |last=Barron |first=David |date=2001-02-09 |title=TV-Radio Notebook: Fox Sports Net announces program changes |url=https://www.chron.com/sports/article/TV-Radio-Notebook-Fox-Sports-Net-announces-2002568.php |access-date=2023-06-09 |website=Chron |language=en-US))</ref>

During the program's tenure as ''NSR'', anchor [[Kevin Frazier]] (now at ''[[Entertainment Tonight]]'') briefly gained attention for refusing to say the name of [[tennis]] phenom [[Anna Kournikova]] on-air because she had never won a [[singles (tennis)|singles]] tournament. Instead, he used [[nicknames]] like "Miss Thang" or "[[From Russia with Love (film)|From Russia With Love]]" (as in the [[James Bond]] movie). Frazier wanted to make a point that she was overrated and received too much publicity for her lack of talent.<ref>((Cite magazine |last=Ballard |first=Chris |date=28 May 2001 |title=SI View The Week In TV Sports |magazine=[[Sports Illustrated]] |url=https://vault.si.com/vault/2001/05/28/si-view-the-week-in-tv-sports |access-date=18 February 2023))</ref>

On April 1, 2001, Olbermann reported that [[Michael Jordan]] had decided to come out of retirement and return to [[National Basketball Association|NBA basketball]] with the [[Washington Wizards]].  Although the story was presented as an [[April Fool's Day|April Fool's]] joke, Jordan would sign with the Wizards the following September.<ref>((Cite web |title=All The Way Back: The Daily Chronicles Jordan's Return |url=https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Daily/Issues/2001/10/01/News-Opinions/All-The-Way-Back-The-Daily-Chronicles-Jordans-Return.aspx |access-date=2023-02-19 |website=www.sportsbusinessjournal.com |date=October 2001 |language=en))</ref>

The set and anchors of the ''NSR'' also appeared on another Fox production, the short-lived sitcom ''[[Inside Schwartz]]'', analyzing the decisions of the lead character.<ref>((Citation |title=Inside Schwartz S1E1 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7e4ZNAaxjnk |language=en |access-date=2022-09-17))</ref>

==Regional sports reports==
Beginning in the summer of [[2000 in television|2000]], many markets paired the ''NSR'' with a ''Regional Sports Report'' (the ''RSR'' title was originally followed by an ''(regional name) Edition'' suffix, before the titling was modified to replace ''Regional'' with the actual regional name, e.g. ''Detroit Sports Report'') to better leverage the regional model of the network, typically airing seven nights a week at 11 p.m. following the ''National Sports Report'' (the regional reports were moved to 10 p.m. in April 2001<ref>((Cite news |last=Romano |first=Allison |date=11 June 2001 |title=Some like it local |pages=28–32 |work=Broadcasting & Cable |url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-BC/BC-2001/BC-2001-06-11.pdf |access-date=17 February 2023))</ref><ref>((Cite web |last=Kroner |first=Steve |date=2001-02-09 |title='Regional Sports Report' Finds Its Time Has Come |url=https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/regional-sports-report-finds-its-time-has-come-2954163.php |access-date=2023-07-16 |website=SFGATE |language=en-US))</ref>), while an earlier ''Regional Sports Tonight'' sportscast aired at 7:00&nbsp;p.m. (in the case of FSN Pittsburgh, their pre-existing ''SportsBeat'', anchored by [[Stan Savran]], continued; the program did adopt the graphics used by the other regional reports).<ref>((Cite web |title=Fox Sports Net exec Dolgin: 'Regional news is critical' to network |url=https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Journal/Issues/2000/07/24/No-Topic-Name/Fox-Sports-Net-Exec-Dolgin-145Regional-News-Is-Critical146-To-Network.aspx |access-date=2023-02-17 |website=www.sportsbusinessjournal.com |date=24 July 2000 |language=en))</ref> Fox Sports Net Northwest was the first to debut a regional report on June 14, followed by Fox Sports Net West and Fox Sports Net Detroit; the rest of Fox's stations rolled out their reports shortly thereafter.<ref>((Cite web |title=FSN'S LATEST INCARNATION BEGINS TONIGHT WITH REGIONAL SHOW |url=https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Daily/Issues/2000/06/14/Sports-Media/FSNS-LATEST-INCARNATION-BEGINS-TONIGHT-WITH-REGIONAL-SHOW.aspx |access-date=2023-02-18 |website=www.sportsbusinessjournal.com |date=14 June 2000 |language=en))</ref><ref>((Cite web |title=FSN'S SMITH SAYS REGIONAL APPROACH IS TRULY FOX'S "DESTINY" |url=https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Daily/Issues/2000/06/14/Sports-Media/FSNS-SMITH-SAYS-REGIONAL-APPROACH-IS-TRULY-FOXS-DESTINY.aspx |access-date=2023-02-18 |website=www.sportsbusinessjournal.com |date=14 June 2000 |language=en))</ref><ref>((Cite web |title=GOING LOCAL OVER FSN: "REGIONAL SPORTS REPORT" EXAMINED |url=https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Daily/Issues/2000/07/06/Sports-Media/GOING-LOCAL-OVER-FSN-REGIONAL-SPORTS-REPORT-EXAMINED.aspx |access-date=2023-02-18 |website=www.sportsbusinessjournal.com |date=6 July 2000 |language=en))</ref> To facilitate easy transfer of stories and footage between FSN and their affiliates, along with some affiliates simply not having enough studio space to produce the reports on their own, a series of interconnected bureaus were set up at many of the FSN affiliates, with some handling the production of more than one regional report:<ref>((Cite web |title=Sports Net launches regional sports report |url=http://old.post-gazette.com/tv/20000702owen.asp |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220920170406/http://old.post-gazette.com/tv/20000702owen.asp |archive-date=2022-09-20 |access-date=2022-09-17 |website=old.post-gazette.com))</ref>

The ''Southwest Sports Report'' was originally broadcast from two studios, with the other in [[Houston, Texas|Houston]]. This occurred because co-host [[Spencer Tillman]] apparently did not want to uproot his family from Houston.<ref>((Cite web |last=Barron |first=David |date=2001-05-30 |title=Tillman leaves FSN's Southwest show |url=https://www.chron.com/news/article/tillman-leaves-fsn-s-southwest-show-2049110.php |access-date=2023-02-19 |website=Chron |language=en-US))</ref>

However, the regional "hub" structure created problems, with one St. Louis newspaper critic noting the ''Midwest Sports Report''<nowiki/>'s debut was marred by technical glitches and the Pittsburgh-based anchors calling teams by the wrong names;<ref>((Cite web |title=FSN EXECS UNLIKELY TO HAIL CAESAR AFTER CRITICAL REVIEW |url=https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Daily/Issues/2000/07/24/Sports-Media/FSN-EXECS-UNLIKELY-TO-HAIL-CAESAR-AFTER-CRITICAL-REVIEW.aspx |access-date=2023-02-18 |website=www.sportsbusinessjournal.com |date=24 July 2000 |language=en))</ref> additionally, it was noted the ''New York Sports Report'' was somewhat redundant given that [[MSG Network]] (which Fox Sports Net New York shared operations with) had already been producing their own standalone sportscast, ''MSG SportsDesk'', and the two sportscasts were nigh-identical (especially since both shows aired the same footage).<ref>((Cite web |title=SIMILARITIES BETWEEN N.Y.'S "RSR" AND "SPORTSDESK" EXAMINED |url=https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Daily/Issues/2000/08/08/Sports-Media/SIMILARITIES-BETWEEN-NYS-RSR-AND-SPORTSDESK-EXAMINED.aspx |access-date=2023-02-18 |website=www.sportsbusinessjournal.com |date=8 August 2000 |language=en))</ref>

==Cancellation==
In [[2002 in television|2002]], the ''NSR'' was cancelled outright due to declining ratings; FSN opted to instead air two-and-a-half minute news capsules, twice an hour, during primetime programming on nights that did not have live sporting events (beginning at 5:30 PM and continuing to 2:00 AM), as well as four newsbreaks per hour during ''[[The Best Damn Sports Show Period]]'', which by this time had become FSN's flagship show (rumors of the ''NSR''<nowiki/>'s demise in the face of ''Best Damn''<nowiki/>'s popularity had begun to circulate in December 2001).<ref>((Cite web |author1=R.

None of the regional reports exist today, or hardly resemble the original report format. When the NSR was cancelled, [[Cablevision (US)|Cablevision]], which owned several FSN affiliates at the time, removed them from the networks they owned at the time, pulling the New York (now known as [[MSG Sportsnet]]), Chicago (now defunct), Bay Area (now owned by Comcast as [[NBC Sports Bay Area]]), and Ohio (now owned by [[Diamond Sports Group]] as [[Bally Sports Ohio]]) reports from the air.<ref>((Cite web |title=Cuts set at Fox Sports Net |url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2002-01-17-0201170162-story.html |access-date=2022-09-17 |website=Chicago Tribune|date=17 January 2002 ))</ref> This was due in part to the regional reports not faring well in the ratings on nights without live sports, as well as an advertising recession, forcing Rainbow's hand in cutting their regional reports.<ref>((Cite web |last=Kroner |first=Steve |date=2002-01-18 |title='Bay Area Report' will be missed |url=https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Bay-Area-Report-will-be-missed-2883438.php |access-date=2023-07-16 |website=SFGATE |language=en-US))</ref> The ''New England Sports Report'' was the longest-lasting of the former ''RSR''s, having evolved into a [[talk show]], ''New England Sports Tonight'' (later renamed to ''Boston Sports Tonight'') after Comcast's acquisition of the network as [[NBC Sports Boston]]; a separate news program called ''SportsNet Central'' later launched (both shows have since ended as of 2023).

The Fox-owned FSN stations continued with their regional reports for several years; by the mid-2000s, they had been essentially replaced by ''FSN Live'', though in most cases that show was exclusively a team post-game show rather than a regular program, with the team name replacing ''FSN'';<ref>((Cite web |last=Stewart |first=Larry |date=2006-03-03 |title=FSN Prime Ticket Joins Name Game |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2006-mar-03-sp-tvcol3-story.html |access-date=2023-07-26 |website=Los Angeles Times |language=en-US))</ref> [[news ticker]]s mostly fulfilled the news role for most FSN networks, along with promotions since 2013 guiding viewers to now-former sister network [[Fox Sports 1]]'s national sports news show (and direct successor to ''NSR''), ''[[Fox Sports Live]]'' (which has also been cancelled as of 2017).
