After all the commercials citing "first national live airing of a Premiership match in American history," once again FOX leave it up to the local affiliates to decide which programming to show. I'm getting a fucking church broadcast... again. This is a fucking joke.

They could at least put it on the FSN affiliates since it's mostly paid programming or fucking outdoors shit. Or put the match on Fox Soccer Plus for regions that aren't receiving a live feed. At noon local time they will air the second half live.
And why do I have all these channels on DirecTV but don't have alternate FOX channels? I see them listed but says I have not paid for the channel. |

Fuck you Fox!
Go to a commecial a minute before the second penalty, come back 2-3 minutes later and you start the match from the fucking first minute. Absolute garbage of a network. And the quality of the replay match is shit. No HD. |

It is so asinine that a network has a specific channel for this sport and then wants to "nationally air a live broadcast" yet allow local affiliates to dictate. It's bullshit. At least show the fucking match on another channel. They know certain regions are not going to show the match live, especially in goddamn nascar rastlin' redneck land. I fucking hate Georgia. |

My message to the local Fox affiliate which I'm sure they won't give a rats ass about.
To whom it may concern, All week I was fed commercials citing the "first live airing of a Premiership match" only to discover on Sunday, February 5th, at 1100, a live church sermon was broadcast. What the hell? Then at 1200 I was expecting the match to be picked up for the second half live - no siree, bob. Instead, I had to watch 20 minutes of crap pregame analysis of a match that was already at halftime! Finally, at the 63rd minute mark of the actual match did local programming switch to a live feed. But alas, within four minutes the match was interrupted for a COMMERCIAL (wtf?) and then approximately two-three minutes later returns to not the live airing but to a replay from the first kickoff. And in an extremely poor quality I might add. Was the local affiliate broadcasting from an internet feed? That's how terrible the quality appeared. I expect much better from Fox. I also do not appreciate FALSE ADVERTISING by Fox all week citing a live broadcast. This is absolute garbage and I demand better coverage and honesty. Seriously, a church sermon at 1100 and then a replay of a match that is practically over and therefore NOT LIVE (i.e. false advertising)? Give me a flipping break. Sincerely, An upset viewer |

Far from ideal, but Fox Soccer Channel is replaying the match tonight (6pm central, I think).
Milwaukee's Fox affiliate showed various things (politics, outdoors, and paid-programming), but showed the match in full like normal on a 3-hour delay. It was shown live on the local's jr. station, but that was in standard def, so I just waited for the HD delay. |

they showed the whole match here along with Morgan's cringeworthy thoughts.
the danger with local channels is if you have weather issues, they take priority...like the CL final...but I was glad in a way for obvious reasons.  showing United on local tv is very good for the club but it is frustrating cause many here still dont appreciate the game. |

But the interest has not passed on to some of the local networks like Marcelo is talking about. Make no mistake there is growing interest every year. ...or if the US has a 'pretty face' playing the game at a top level...err instead of say Dempsey.
