But what i dont understand is, if Fox is going to still have the rights to SSN why is going off the air from 6/30 to mid August?
That won't be an issue. Did you forget this thread already? beIN Sport Officially Launches Streaming Service
Does SSN even show highlights of Prem League matches? I was under the impression that because of ESPN UK and other rights holders in the UK, Sky couldn't show highlights anyway.
I believe SKY can air PL highlights after Midnight UK time on Saturday nights. FSC does run an edition of SSN at 19:00 ET, which is 00:00 UK , but it's a taped version from earlier in the evening which only has postgame interviews and no PL highlights. But it does usually have a crapload of Championship/League 1/League 2 action which I'll miss if it goes away.
