  • Fox Sports names new president

    Big news in the sports media biz:

    Eric Shanks, a high-ranking DirecTV executive, was named president of Fox Sports Wednesday, at 38 becoming what is believed to be the youngest president ever of a broadcast network sports division.

    Shanks will succeed Ed Goren, 65, who was named vice chairman.

    Both Shanks and Goren will report to Fox Sports chairman David Hill.

    (That's Goren as a young reporter in the video above, many, many years ago.)
