if that was true every sports league wouldnt be rushing to sell several rounds of their playoffs to cable channels.


and again, do you not have Unimas? Its a fairly common over the air channel. Is it that hard to check for people to use their channel guide to see if they have it? Is it that hard to see if using SAP is an option to watch the game in English? shite, do you even need to watch it in English?

You really can't defend the MLS on this. Their tv package is terrible.

Directv has Univision available, where the Friday night games are on, but unimas or whatever isn't part of the regular package.

630-1 or 642-1 are CSN alternate channels and it shows that the DC game will be on, let's see if its not blacked out.
687-1 is showing the LA game, so I'll hold my breath there too. Either way its embarrassing these games aren't available on any of the 300 American sports channels in 2015. The LA Seattle game itself is a huge game and they'll probably have more people in the stadium than viewers on TV.

The soccer fans and MLS supporters will go find it so they can watch it. The casual fan, the larger audience, probably won't go looking for it.

If MLS wants to grow the pie, which it absolutely does, it needs to have playoff games easily accessible to a mass audience. People who watch the NFL playoffs don't have to find out what Unimas is or how to find it.

MLS has been working on the foundation very well over the last decade. The TV market is the next front that I expect to be the focus. I read somewhere where Garber was laying out the strategic vision for continued growth of the league and mentioned that their income was first from ticket sales, second from sponsorships, and third from TV. He said that order needs to be inverted.

Think so too, but you can't allow players to physically attack referees. Jones was seriously out of control.
