Libertadores 2011 TV coverage complaints, banter, etc. [R]

They better stay the fuck away. The Mexicans on Fox Deportes are bad enough.

 

so they are gonna air wilsterman x jaguares instead of defending champs Inter x Emelec....what a joke. Just because jaguares is mexican. How many Jaugures fans are there two dozen?

 

thats probably 10 more than Inter or Emelec fans combined. j/k


The people who schedule games aren't dumb if Inter and Emelec got higher ratings than Jaguares they would show them live. They don't.

 

At Wilsterman Stadium 500 people...at the Beira Rio...50,000.....sometimes TV stations should do the RIGHT thing which would be to show the defending champs. Its a much more interesting game.

 

Thats nice and all but if Fox can get a 100k for a Jaguares v Wilsterman game instead of 20k for an Inter v Emelec game guess which one they'll show?

nothing personal

strictly business

 

Well then maybe they should scrap the Libertadores and show Bull Fighting, Im sure that would get 200k Mexicans to watch.

 

I don't think bullfighting is allowed to be shown on tv in the US

And if Fox could they'd probably only buy the rights to the games involving Mexican clubs. But they can't.

 

U. Católica could turn out to be the surprise of the tournament--if they get past Gremio, I'd think--yet they are barely shown live on Fox Deportes.

Fhuck you, Fox.

 

FOX Deportes will have every game live beginning with the Quarterfinal Round unless two games are scheduled to kick off simultaneously.

Why?

1. No more UEFA Champions League games on weekdays after this week.

2. Club America has been eliminated.

FYI:

The ONLY team that can draw more than 150,000 viewers to a Copa Libertadores game on FOX Deportes is Club America. The rest of the teams struggle to draw even 100,000 viewers.

The U.S. Hispanic TV audience is extremely skewed toward Mexican immigrants (around 65-70%), especially those who live in the Los Angeles TV market (the 2010 U.S. census should show that there are at least 10 million documented Mexican immigrants living within 75 miles of Los Angeles.)

Executives at Globo TV in Brazil can't be happy after 4 Brazilian teams were eliminated in the Round of 16 (Octavos de Final). Only Santos remain.

FOX Sports executives can't be happy either after Club America was eliminated on Tuesday. Much of the viewership in both Mexico and the U.S. Hispanic market will disappear.

 

Sooooo, does that mean non-Brazilian and non-Mexican teams' fans will be punished now? In other words, will non-Brazilian and non-Mexican teams not be shown???

 

That means Globo in Brazil (which includes SPORTV and SPORTV2) and FOX Sports in both Mexico and the U.S. Hispanic market may have to "make good" on viewership projections prior to the start of the Copa Libertadores by giving away free advertising slots during Copa Sudamericana or Liga Mexicana matches during the 2nd half of the year.

Copa Sudamericana is strictly filler for the Mexico and U.S. Hispanic markets. Look for FOX to dump the Tuesday and Wednesday night Copa Sudamericana matches (prior to the semifinal round) onto FOXsoccer.tv in the U.S. market so that FOX Deportes can air the UEFA Champions League via tape-delay instead.

Only two club teams from Latin America draw measurable viewers on FOX Deportes in the U.S. Hispanic market: Chivas Guadalajara and Club America. The rest don't sell.

 

It means that they should go and take a hike.

 

FOX SPORTS SPANISH in the US sucks...


I hate it, it is so different from the FOX SPORTS from South America (Argentina)... They always prefer to show the guys talking about the teams like half an hour and then show a bunch of commercials..
I've seen matches in this Copa Libertadores that have already started when the commercials stopped.. It is horrible.. They are more worried about getting more money and showing commercials than actually showing the game.. They don't even show the fans ! Besides, they are very bad comentaters in my opinion, they barely know any football besides Mexican and European... They sometimes even prefer to re-air a match already played than showing you a LIVE Copa Libertadores match, it's disguisting !!


I HATE FOX SPORTS MEXICO !!!!!! THEY SUCK

 

I agree also.

 

Just got a copy of Colo Colo V Santos from fox sports en espanol (North America). Went through the disk to discover that 18 minutes were ommited from the 1st half! Worse again, there was 18 minutes of commercials and "analysis" at "half time". Ridicilous, how can they get away with it

 

Mexican comentators for Fox Spanish in USA are horrible... Those 2 guys that don't even know how to comentate and do that half time analysis.. OMG I hate them so bad, why the hell do they show them ?

 

The Argentinean commentators should stick to calling Argentinean games. They don't even know the player's names. Mier, Olivera and Aguiar, they called them Martinuccio. So it seemed like Martinuccio was all over the place being the star.

They also make up first names as well as nicknames.

They also call Velez "Barcelona", call their players "Iniesta", "Xavi", etc. and the player of the match is always whichever Argentinean plays for the winning team.

I cannot stand them

 

Was that in FOX Sports? I saw it on Telefe, since now the argentine teams matches go on free to air channels and of course since it's aimed to argentines only they were biased(in contrast to FOX Sports where they were biased in favour of the foreigners except special cases), they had Vignolo(Regular on FOX Sports), Latorre(Somewhat regular on FOX Sports too), and Paolosky(Left FOX Sports last year, he's on Telefe's late night news break and hosts a noon program in ESPN+). So of course they barely said anything on Peñarol's goal. I don't really like Vignolo, I don't mind the others though.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ylgc9vukrnw&hd=1]Peñarol's goal.[/ame]

I also liked how they had clock like in argentine league matches, marking the first half or the second half unlike what FOX Sports usually does... Sure it isn't advanced calculus but I think that way is more clear.

 

Yea it was fox. One of the commentators was el bambino pons who is pro-penarol usually but obvously not against an argentinean team. But my problem wasnt that. My problem is that he doesnt know the players. He misses the names, he cant tell them apart and he asks about dario rodriguez's age 20x per game like if his bday wouldve been at halftime or something. He also made a "joke" anout pacheco's doping test which i didnt find amusing. So give us knowleadgable commentators, from whatever nationality

 

Would Jorge Ramos works? With his references to Danubio every other second?

 

fue un malentendido

http://www.elobservador.com.uy/portada/#noticia/202494/-el-malentendido-con-el-bambino-pons



and Jorge Ramos sucks as a game announcer

 

I have to agree. I couldn't have said it better.

Also, the HD signal on Fox Deportes is really bad. It just looks like stretched SD.

 

Check the wikipedia page, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copa_Libertadores_2012

And Boca will most likely be in it.
