Hey,

Can anyone here confirm that FSW in the US has dropped Ligue Orange from its coverage next season?

Thanks

I can't confirm anything but my understanding is that the Dutch and Brazilian leagues are the only ones being dropped and Ligue 1 will return to FSW this coming season.

To Lensios: That sucks. I just started watching thier coverge of brasil and now they go and drop it. I have one question though: what is thier coverage in general going to be like? more live matches from all leagues? or more live matches just from epl? :confused:

You might want to check out the FSW boards in Biz & Media. From what I remember, only the Eredivisie has been dropped.

I just didn't know who to trust...one poster on this board (can't remember where I saw it) said that, in addition to the Dutch League, the German and French leagues would be dropped for lack of sponsorship. Then, of course, I read that the Brazilian league is a goner. The only consistent rumor I've seen, though, is that FSW will expand its EPL coverage. If it were up to me, I'd drop A-League coverage, but I guess that's rather un-American of me.

I think it was Da CFO - but he's known as "chicken little" in these parts.

Can't drop A-League, what else would they show in the summer that pays them for the time on Friday nights?

oh, sorry - I forgot to welcome you to the boards. MLG_FC, sorry if I appeared short in my earlier post.

Biz Media has a ton of good information, and a lot of it is accurate ;)

You probably know this one already, soccertv.com - but Oliver Tse has the best website for tv coverage. he has some other stuff going on, but his schedules are the best.

Thanks for the welcome, Panic. I actually didn't know that by clicking "national teams and competitions" you could get the TV schedule by league. I generally avoided soccertv (the main page) because I found it too much of a pain to read and sift through. I'm a bit of an idiot, I guess, but great to know that Ligue Un begins in just over a week on FSW!

No idiot, just new. Make yourself at home - and enjoy the LFP this year on FSW.
