Fox Nation Makes First Sports Rights Deal, Teaming With Professional Bull Riders For Weekly Live Events
Fox Nation is teaming up with Professional Bull Riders Camping World Team Series for exclusive rights to PBR Friday Night Live broadcasts. The series will launch on Aug. 8 in Sunrise, FL, and continue through the fall, finishing with the league's championship opener on Oct. 24 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Advertisement More from Deadline In the lead up to the live coverage, starting this Friday, Fox Nation will debut Season 2 of the reality series Last Cowboy Standing. Over the span of 10 weekly episodes, the series features a group of amateur bull riders competing for a chance to join a PBR team. The pact is the first sports rights deal for Fox Nation, which was launched by Fox Corp. in 2018 as a streaming companion to Fox News. While the company does not disclose subscriber numbers for the service, Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch recently estimated it has surpassed 2 million paying customers, with a programming mix of original series and movies. Fox News talent has by and large not appeared on Fox Nation, which has helped the service carve out its own identity.

The bull riding circuit was acquired by Endeavor as Emanuel and his executive team were building it into a diversified conglomerate. Prior to Endeavor being taken private this year by Silver Lake, it sold the PBR and two other assets to TKO for $3.25 billion.

Kid Rock embraces American pride, breaks down why performing for veterans is 'most rewarding' work he's done
Kid Rock doesn't intentionally set out to make patriotic music, but that's what the iconic musician manifests when he puts pen to paper. During an interview with Fox News Digital at his "Rock N Rodeo" event in Texas on May 16, Kid Rock acknowledged that his music carries a strong message of American pride, which he's happy about, but it isn't necessarily his goal. "The message of patriotism in my music has just always been there, and I don't know if it's been on purpose. I guess it's not really something I think about. It's just what comes out when I'm writing. What I feel, what I see, what I experience. That's what comes out on a piece of paper and usually into a song," he said. Kid Rock said he gets more into the patriotic spirit around Memorial Day and the Fourth of July. "I guess that would mean I have to do a Christmas record, right? Yeah, Kid Rock. Jingle f---ing bells." WATCH: KID ROCK SAYS PATRIOTISM ISN'T HIS INTENT WHEN MAKING MUSIC, 'IT'S JUST WHAT COMES OUT' "The message of patriotism in my music has just always been there, and I don't know if it's been on purpose." Over his multi-decade music career, Kid Rock has performed shows for U.S. service members on active duty. He told Fox News Digital that he'd just sent a text to his "little brother," podcaster Theo Von, who is working with President Donald Trump to perform comedy routines for troops in Qatar, praising him for the work.

I went a lot of times along with people like Toby Keith – rest in peace, my old friend Toby – and so many other talented artists … that's the least we could do is give our time and talents to be over there entertaining these kids. And like I said, some of the most rewarding, hardest work I've ever done," he said. He added, "It's unfortunate these wars happened, but I feel blessed and so fortunate to have been able to go over there and bring some smiles to these kids' faces, most times halfway around the world in some godforsaken place."

Kid Rock Toadies Up To Trump With Graphic, Violent Turn Of Phrase
Kid Rock used a disturbingly violent phrase in a rant about 'wokeness' to hail President Donald Trump during an interview on Fox News Digital. Trump had 'slit the throat of DEI and wokeness,' the pro-MAGA musician told Fox News Digital during his 'Rock N Rodeo' event at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Friday, while praising the Trump White House's ongoing attacks on diversity, equity and inclusion programs and measures. 'I think wokeness and DEI and cancel culture is starting to exit the building, and we can thank President Trump for leading that charge once again,' said Kid, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie. 'I call him the dragon slayer in that regard, because he just came and slit the throat of DEI and wokeness,' he added.

There sometimes 'needs a little spanking,' though, he said, before talking about 2023 right-wing outrage over Bud Light's partnership with trans activist Dylan Mulvaney. 'But at the end of the day, we forgave them, said, 'It's all good. Let's get back on track,'' said Kid. Last week, Kid Rock told Fox News' Jesse Watters that the birth rate in the United States is low 'because who's going to sleep with these ugly-ass, broke, crazy, deranged, TDS ['Trump Derangement Syndrome'], liberal women?' 'I mean, you look at these rallies, it's like a bunch of women that no guy wants to sleep with, and a bunch of dudes that want to sleep with each other,' he added.

In a now-viral social media post, the Colorado representative is seen flashing a grin while posing alongside the 54-year-old musician.
