fox sports west is a regional station


fox sports world is national, although on a much smaller scale than espn or espn2... but it's growing and growing fast


i can imagine all the calls cable companies will be getting tomorrow asking for FSW, just don't forget to throw out an extra 50 bucks for the shootout

I'm here in Pasadena next to the stadium that hosted two WC finals and the cable company here will not add FSW or MLS Shootout.. They have every other channel you can name but they just won't do it. I beg and plead but it does no good.
Can't use a dish where I am at the moment.
They did add FSWE so I wonder if the game will be on the Spanish version?

I live in glendale CA. the city next to Pasadena.I get FSW but not MLS Shootout. My cable box is set to FSW on power up and I would run in the streets with teers of joy if this is true. I watch FSW about three houres a day on the avg.This channel saved my life.

My cable box will be set to blow up on power on if they don't give me FSW soon and GolTV would be nice too!! Twenty four hours of soccer with an English SAP on half of the games.

If FSW gets full rights to highlights for their show, I see no reason why they can't show highlights from the other games during halftime, as well as during the game.

Imagine watching a 0-0 snoozer between NE and KC, and having "Gamebreak" style highlights of a 4-3 thriller between SJ and Chicago, that is playing simultaneously, during goal-kicks.

These broadcasts have the potential to be much livelier than the ones on ESPN.
