NBC (USA) show EVERY premier league game live all season!

[Impeccable One]

Yes, you read that correctly.

NBC picked up the rights to broadcast the premier league games here in the USA from Fox Sports & ESPN.

They have announced that every game will be shown live ! and subscribers to US cable/satellite will also be able to see the games live online using NBC apps.

This means for us US based blues we'll never miss a game.

What's even more amazing, these NBC channels are normally part of the basic cable/satellite packages and will not cost extra.

Mods : I appreciate there's already a NBC thread about promotion in NY, but I thought the issue of broadcasting deserved its own thread.

Great news. No more shite streams, or tuning in to Fox Soccer to see Wigan vs Arse instead of us.

 

[MillionDollarDream]

Really good news. It's funny seeing ESPN now trying to hop on the bandwagon late showing these tournaments and some friendlies but they let their contract run out and didnt renew because they didnt think it was worth it.

 

[citymad]

Lets hope it's not American commentators though. It would be a complete nightmare.

 

[SvanE42]

It would seriously ruin a lot of the fun if it was American commentators. I wanted to kill Gus Johnson on Fox Sports Soccer by the end of the season.

Just put Radio Manchester commentary on the radio and turn down the sound on the TV!

 

[PapiChulo]

I'm in Chicago and this is great news as Fox Soccer didn't air all of the games which caused using shit streams.

As long as Alexi Lalas or other Americans don't commentate. The only one i have liked is from Venezuela on ESPN.

Trouble with that is the sound is out of sync so you hear something happen on the radio and 30 seconds later it happens on the screen.
