Does anyone know whether the November 12/16 UEFA and intercontinental playoffs will be televised in the US?
At least 9 out of 10 games will be televised.
The 10th (Trinidad vs Bahrain 1st Leg) will depend on whether Traffic Sports USA (formerly Inter/Forever Sports) will be able to come to terms with Arab Radio and Television (ART). If Traffic asks for too much money, then ART might pass. ART should be able to buy the TV rights to the 2nd Leg from Bahrain without much trouble.
Setanta has 5 out of 6 UEFA games (via a deal with SportFive), with the 6th (Spain vs Slovakia 1st Leg) airing on Telemundo.
GolTV, Inc. has rights to BOTH LEGS of Uruguay-Australia. GolTV's parent company Tenfield controlled the first leg and GolTV , Inc. bought the TV rights to the 2nd Leg from Octagon CSI. GolTV, Inc. hasn't decided whether those games will air live on GolTV (US) or via pay-per-view.

One correction: Telemundo does NOT have the rights to Spain-Slovakia 1st Leg.
ESPN appears to have Spain-Slovakia 1st Leg for Mexico and Central America ONLY (on ESPN Dos).
Don't know who has the 2nd Leg of Slovakia-Spain.
FOX now has US TV rights to both legs of Trinidad-Bahrain (on FSC and FSE).
Uruguay is implementing Summer Time this year. That means Uruguay-Australia on Nov 12 will kick off at 6pm ET (2100 local).

GolTV US and GolTV Canada will have 1st Leg of Spain-Slovakia, LIVE, right after Uruguay-Australia.
I suspect GolTV and ESPN cut some sort of deal together with regards to transmission cost.
ESPN Dos (Mexico and Central America) has both Uruguay-Australia and Spain-Slovakia, both LIVE, back-to-back.

AZTECA AMERICA does NOT have Spain-Slovakia (Azteca America usually does NOT buy US TV rights to any futbol not involving Mexicans.)
Azteca 13 of Mexico does.
