A poster (in the BeIn Sports thread) wanted to know if it was possible to see a breakdown of each Premier League and how many of their games aired on which network. Well, here is the unofficial list. One point: The networks covered are ESPN2, ESPN3 (only), Fox Soccer (FSC), Fox Soccer Plus (FS+) & Other (FOX, FX, SPEED, other Survival Sunday Channels). I did not include Fox Deportes or ESPN Deportes on this list. I figured I will do 5 teams a post. Here we go! (In Alphabetical Order) Arsenal ESPN2 - 10 ESPN3 - 2 FSC (Live) - 16 FSC (Delay) - 1 FS+ (Live) - 1 Other (Fox, FSN) - 2 Aston Villa ESPN2 - 2 ESPN3 - 3 FSC (Live) - 13 FSC (Delay) - 5 FS+ (Live) -8 FS+ (Delay) - 5 Only FS2go - 2 Blackburn Rovers ESPN2 - 5 ESPN3 - 3 FSC (Live) -7 FSC (Delay) - 3 FS+ (Live) -3 FS+ (Delay) -14 Other (SPEED) - 1 Only FS2go -2 Bolton Wanderers ESPN2 - 1 ESPN3 - 3 FSC (Live) - 9 FSC (Delay) - 6 FS+ (Live) -7 FS+ (Delay) -11 Only FS2go -1 Chelsea ESPN2 - 10 ESPN3 - 1 FSC (Live) - 21 FS+ (Live) -4 Other (FOX, SPEED) - 2

One last post: Here is a quick breakdown (by my calculations) on total game breakdowns per network: ESPN - 72 (24 only on ESPN3; 47 ESPN2/3; 1 ESPN/3) FSC (Live) - 116 FSC (Delay) - 43 FS+ (Live) - 67 FS+ (Delay) - 64 FOX - 2 FSN - 1 SPEED - 1 FX - 1 FUEL - 1 Only of FS2g0 - 12 Thanks for reading! If you thought these posts were awful, then I apologize. One more thing: Thanks to posters on the board such as huhe, socceraction & others. That is where I get my info!
I remember Arsenal being on FS+ more than just once. And IIRC every game of theirs was broadcast somewhere this season so the count should be 38.
Of course the first one I do (Arsenal) is screwed up. Sorry about that! Arsenal ESPN2 - 10 ESPN3 - 2 FSC (Live) - 16 FSC (Delay) - 1 FS+ (Live) - 7 (Not 1 as originally posted) Other (Fox, FSN) - 2
Well done Zippy! I was the one that asked about the appearances on TV by the different clubs in the Premier League on US TV. I just think it's too risky for the Premier League to leave Fox/ESPN and possibly Univision for a start up when the next contract cycle that starts in August 2013 given how much the profile of the league will sink given how much accessibility will be lost by leaving the US Media Giants.
