How about ESPN3 coming through in the clutch this afternoon? FSC’s schedule seems to be in question today (some apparently have them showing ENG-SUI at 2:45, others such as DirecTV and their own website have them showing a replay of ENG-BUL at 2) so just rely on your computer’s internet connection to be able to [...]

Swimming the Channels – Let’s kiss and make up, Max Bretos
Posted in Swimming the Chanels, tagged swimming the channels on May 18, 2010 | 2 Comments »
I want to make up with ESPN, I honestly do, but they keep doing things like putting Max Bretos and Alexi Lalas on MLS pre-game and World Cup preview shows and my Patrick Bateman-like rage just starts rising and rising. I thought when Bretos left Fox Soccer Channel for the greener pastures of Bristol and [...]

ESPN is gearing up for the World Cup, and word came down just this week that JP DellaCamera will not be announcing any of their televised matches. He will be limited to the radio broadcasts only, while ESPN chooses to go with a much more Anglo-based set of lead announcers. While Derek Rae and Adrian [...]

Posted in Swimming the Chanels, tagged Fox Soccer Channel Plus, swimming the channels on March 1, 2010 | 8 Comments »
This will be a quick post because I’m under ridiculous deadlines, but I wanted to let everyone know that Fox Soccer Plus arrived this morning for FIOS, DirecTV, Dish and Time Warner cable. The only major player that’s apparently out of the loop is Comcast at this point. I’m reading reports that Time Warner’s deal [...]
Swimming the Channels – D-day is Monday and it’s fast approaching
Posted in Swimming the Chanels, tagged swimming the channels on February 25, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Despite what others are reporting, there is still no OFFICIAL word from DirecTV regarding the addition of Fox Soccer Plus, other than this cryptic non-answer on their website. Now, of course, it could be that this HAS been settled and there will be no interruption of programming, but for DirecTV/Setanta subscribers (of which I am [...]

Fox Soccer Plus arrives in eleven days, and we find ourselves no closer to answers as to whether we’ll actually be able to see the channel. DirecTV’s official “answer” is “DIRECTV is in discussions to come to an agreement to offer most of the same programming on Fox Soccer Plus that you received with [...]

Grant Wahl of Sports Illustrated reported today on Twitter that Fox Soccer Channel will begin to be shown in high definition on both major satellite services (DirecTV and Dish Network) as of Wednesday February 10.

Swimming the Channels – “We’re negotiating”
Posted in Swimming the Chanels, tagged Swimming the Chanels on February 4, 2010 | 2 Comments »
It seems the theme of this week’s media aggregate post is “We’re negotiating.” The major television carriers seem to be trying to figure out what to make of this new landscape we’re about to be thrust into. It’s clear the major players moving forward in America in terms of broadcasting soccer will be ESPN, Fox [...]
