FOX SPORTS PRESIDENT DAVID HILL PROFILED IN USA TODAY

7.23.1997

          Fox Sports President DAVID HILL is profiled by Michael
     Hiestand in the "Cover Story" of USA TODAY's sports section. 
     Hiestand: "Go figure.  Here's a corporate big shot whose
     dictum is 'don't bore me' and who is more likely to say he's
     'running around a hairy goat' than use management buzz
     phrases."  Hiestand writes that Hill hopes Fox "this fall
     finally milks the Sunday night NFL lead-in ... with a new
     'funny video' show starring NFL host James Brown."  But
     "hockey nags at him."  Hill: "We can't get its arena
     excitement through TV's sterilizing filter."  Hill, asked
     about his "adorable" three year old daughter: "Well, there
     were no stray bulls in the paddock." (USA TODAY, 7/23).
