So ESPN soon mash up FSC

ESPN2 is now bringing the EPL, and yuh know dem gween get a bigger audience, since it deh in much more households than FSC. It certainly looks good in HD.

Really? I very much doubt that. Which channel have the rights for the UCL? FSC. They have already started broadcasting the qualifiers that ESPN would overlook.

The more the merrier, while FSC was wasting time with Man City, ESPN was showing the Empire.

ESPN needs to get their cutaways on point though. The in-studio hosts are pretty knowledgable but the technicians cut their comments short to show us the teams coming out of the tunnel for the second half and there was about a minute or so of dead air time. Me caan wait fe see La Liga

Well, at the moment, ESPN (and Setanta USA) actually license the USA Prem games from FOX, so until that contract expires, FSC is in maximum control. Their challenge is to figure out a deal with Comcast, Dish and Directv to be part of the basic package. If they can do that, they will be in the driver's seat for seasons to come. My guess though is that they have to watch their back because if the results of the current licensing by ESPN is successful, my guess is that ESPN will push hard to get the EPL rights whenever the FSC contract is up and flip the table on FSC.

All that said, the both of them have a ticking timebomb on their hands as what will eventually happen (my guess) is that the rights holders (e.g. the FA in England) will eventually "go direct" and cut out the middle man broadcasting via broadband under a free advertising model. That's why you should buy stock in Justin.tv as that is the model of the future. Just me thinking again (dangerous).

Fi real sah. Also, computers tend to be in areas that are not designed for relaxed viewing.

What you don't understand is that your TV will be a computer designed to pull feeds directly from the web in full HD glory no different than what you get now...do I have to explain EVERYTHING TO UNU?

my question is though, how will fsc air all those UCL games with just the 1 channel?

When espn had the rights i could choose and refuse, ESPN2 and ESPNI had 2 different live games, then ESPNI bringing the other big games delayed.

[Gamma]

They can take off those WPL games and the USL ones too.
