FS1 Revamped Schedule: March

This is the 3rd part of my series on FS1's re-done schedule. Conference Tournament Week is a different schedule, and FS1 will pick up some NCAA Tournament Coverage, which I'll talk about after I finish this series. 

Here is March:

Sunday:
11:00-NASCAR Raceday:
Before every race, there is always Raceday. That's it. 
12:00-NASCAR Sprint Cup Series or Monster Jam:
NASCAR is the draw of the day, but when it's on FOX, there is nothing else to really show. So, the next best option is Monster Jam. 
4:00, 5:00 and 6:00-Monster Jam:
FS1 is left with Monster Jam after the races end because they got no other programming. 
7:00-Major League Soccer:
The new contract has 7:00 Sunday MLS games, so this is where it is. 
9:00 and 10:00-The Ultimate Fighter: TUF is a very highly watched show for FS1 standards, so why not air last weeks episode at 9:00, and the new one at 10. 

Monday:
7:00-Street League Skateboarding:
With MLS taking Sunday Night, SLS can move to Monday Night. 
9:00-NASCAR Race Hub:
No other shows can fit here, and FS1 has no other live sports. So, Race Hub it is. 
9:30-FOX Soccer Daily:
Soccer's best review show returns after college basketball ends and stays until Bundesliga, La Liga, EPL, Ligue 1 and Serie A end in the late spring. 
10:00-The Ultimate Fighter:
A rerun of the previous nights episode fits the best. 

Tuesday:
7:00 and 9:30 or 7:30 and 10:00-NBA:
FOX not only receives Thursday games when buying out Turner Sports, but late season Tuesday games which now are on TNT. 

Wednesday:
2:30-UEFA Champions League:
The world's biggest soccer tournament is a better draw than Mike Francesa. 
7:00 and 9:00-UFC Fight Night Prelims and Main Card: Why not put all Fight Nights on Wednesday, one every week. I wonder what fans would think. Also, they have nothing else to go up against the NBA on ESPN. 

Thursday:
7:00 and 9:30 or 7:30 and 10:00-NBA:
FOX receives Thursday games when buying out Turner Sports which are great ratings draws. 

Friday:
Afternoon-NASCAR Practice and Qualifying:
Like I said before, this kind of stuff can turn up 3/4 million people, so it's quality programming. 
7:30-NCWTS Race:
Draws a fairly sized turnout, like NSCS Qualifying and Practice. 

Saturday:
7:30-Bundesliga:
Look what NBC did with Premier League, now I'm not saying FOX has to have a match weekly, but they need some games on FS1 with the key game of the final week on broadcast. 
10:00-NASCAR Practice:
It's a pretty big draw, so it's good for FS1. 
12:30-Bundesliga:
They have the room, so they can air the match of the week. 
3:00-NASCAR Nationwide Series:
It's a very big, 2,000,000 viewer draw. 
6:00 and 8:00-UFC Numbered Event Prefight Show and Prelims:
Like with Wednesday, except the Main Card is on PPV, we would have a fight every week? That would be cool.
