Pretty lame coverage in my opinion.Rogers Sports Net in Canada is showing Chelsea-Watford,Newcastle-Southampton,Man.U-Aston Villa and Arsenal-Leeds all live.I know Setanta has the U.S rights but it's like FSW doesn't even make an effort.I love the EPL but it's hard to be a fan when you can't even see the games.I don't even think Dish Network is showing the games on PPV.Also the UEFA Cup coverage on Gol Tv has been so much better than FSW makes me wonder how they would do with the Epl even though there's no chance they would ever get it.

FSW shows a long delay for the Leeds-Arsenal match (to be shown on Jan 11).

Setanta have the rights and offer two games "in-home" (like the EPL PPV), others in bars. FSW is usually sold the rights to show games on a 3-7 day delay (depending on the matchup), picking up the Sky feed as opposed to whatever Setanta uses.

Oliver would know how FSW got the rights to Yeovil-Liverpool live.

I know they get the games from Setanta.Last year on Sunday they had 3 FA Cup from the day before and two on Monday from Sunday(including the ppv games from the day before).At one time last week they had Chelsea match replayed Jan.4 at 2:00 and the Arsenal-Leeds match for Jan.5 at 3:00.IF you go to the FSW site and click on soccer it shows the Arsenal match listed instead of the Man.U-Aston Villa.Setanta must have changed their minds about FSW showing the two PPV games on one day delay.

Any match that airs on iNDemand PPV (Comcast/COX/Time Warner joint venture) may not air on FOX Sports World for a minimum of 72 hours after kickoff due to a contractual demand by iNDemand PPV.

As a result, Leeds vs Arsenal can't air on FOX Sports World until Wednesday at the earliest.

FOX Sports World is sublicensing matches from Setanta, including Yeovil vs Liverpool, which Setanta didn't want to air due to 1) a conflict with Aston Villa vs Man U, and 2) not enough Liverpool fans in the US are willing to pack the pubs for $20 a head (about 20-25% of English soccer closed-circuit TV patrons support Man U.)

Then why was the Arsenal-Leeds match and Chelsea-Watford match listed as airing next day on FSW on their site.The Arsenal match is showing up on my electronic program Guide on my Dish network for Monday the 5th.I don't doubt that they won't be on but at one time FSW thought they were going to show them on one day delay.

FSWorld updated its schedule on Monday morning. Your EPG is outdated.

Go to FSW site now.See where it says on FWS right beside that it says soccer.Click on it scroll down it has FA Cup 3rd round Arsenal-Leeds listed 1/5 at 3:00 PM and also 8:00 PM.I know that they are showing Man.U-Villa instead.I just figured da_cfo would know why FSW had planned to show the Arsenal-Leeds and Chelsea_WAtford matches on 1 day delay when they knew they couldn't.

The programming department at FOX Sports Int'l isn't staffed with the brightest people in the world.

They make the same mistake year after year.

[DAGSports]

It's always fluid as to which games FSW can air 24 hours after they're played and which ones will make it to inDemand PPV and thus be embargoed for up to a week (for the final). The lineup could even change between now and say, Friday night.

all i know is fsw better have the following games

manu-arsenal
arsenal-chelsea
and chelsea-manu in the second half of their season coverage because they didnt have any of em

[JTorres]

They were all on delayed broadcast.

You think fsw would fix their site and not have Arsenal-Leeds listed for 1/5 Monday when according to da_cfo they can't show it for 3-7 days after the PPV.Also they did show Arsenal-Man.U,Chelsae-Arsenal.Man.U-Chelsea on delay.Who wants to watch the games three or four days later?I know it's a money thing but FSW would be a much better channel if they showed the games live.Look at Gol TV 3-4 games live each weekend of Serie A and La Liga.That's the way FSW should do the EPL.I bought the EPL PPV package last year but not this year.I like the EPL better but I'm not going to pay when I can watch live Serie A games for free at the same time.
