I apologize if I am beating a dead horse here, but I couldn't find any similar threads on the search function.
I *finally* caught some MISL action this weekend on FSW. It was Dallas @ KC.
The quality of the broadcast was embarassingly low. The term "community cable access" comes to mind. The camera work was awful, as often the camera whipped around at a nauseating pace. I especially enjoyed hearing the director's mike announce to the broadcast team which replay was coming up next.
Anyone have any idea who gets the credit for this production?

"Let's show some MISL to fill some dead air time"
Games you see on FSW were played several months ago.

I saw that telecast and I had the exact same impression.
It was a game that was this past Friday night (as evidenced by the announcers' mentioning of the two teams' records and the fact that it was Tatu's last visit to Kemper Arena) and I couldn't make it through more than 30 minutes. I think that they took the audio from the Comets' radio broadcast, put in some really bad video from the arena, put in some crappy production value and slapped it on FSW.
It was quite possibly the worst TV broadcast that had anything to do with soccer that I've ever seen. As bad as MLS broadcasts sometimes are, they are light years ahead of that piece of crap.

Not the "Girls Gone Wild" infomercial.
