ESPN2 is showing the game today (Madrid-Juventus) live. But they are not showing Milan-Inter tomorrow. Next week the show Inter-Milan but not Juventus-Madrid. Anybody out there knows if the games are on on any other channel? Thanks Paco
how does one get eson international just wanted to know how one can get espn international, what about dish network do they bring champ league matches.
RDS is the french version of TSN. ESPN international is difficult to get. You have to have ways to get a gray market subscription of Sky Mexico or Directv Latin America. If you have friends or relatives living in Mexico, you can ask them to sub for you. If not, tough luck. As far as I know, there is almost no program broker for Mexican systems, as there are many for Canadian systems. If you start thinking about it today, you'll probably be able to watch 8 CL games starting next season. In other words, it's not something you can get in a day.
And I just found out that ESPN International is not available in the United States due to TV Broadcasting Laws. Oh, well. I will watch the game today and next Tuesday and will tune my Spanish Radio station on the internet to listen to the games tomorrow and next Wednesday.
ESPN international is indeed difficult to receive in the US. But some sports bars and other establishments can receive it. I know Summers in Arlington, VA is charging a $10 cover on Wednesday afternoons for the CL semifinals. In the fall, most likely September, ESPN has plans to launch ESPN Deportes, a spanish language network. they might have difficulty getting carriage for the network on cable systems, but satellite could be an option. ESPN Deportes, as I understand it, will carry much of the ESPN International programming, including 4 matches per CL matchday.
Well, since you live in Miami, you are in much better shape than fans living in other parts of the country. I suspect many bars/restaurants in the Hispanic communities would carry the Mexican systems. That's your best bet there. If everything fails, you can always hop on a plane to New York to watch it at Nevada Smith's. http://www.nevadasmiths.net/footfixture.htm
ESPN is also lauching a PPV channel fairly soon in which they say that soccer matches will be included. Whether it's MLS or CL is anyone's guess. Here's what I don't understand... ESPN broadcast all 64 World Cup matches last year LIVE in the wee hours of the morning instead of on tape-delay at more convenient hours. Their reasoning being that they wanted to satisfy all the soccer fans throughout the country. Fine. So why the 'ell do they show one CL match only on Tuesdays while on Wednesdays they show the same old repeats of NBA Finals Films, World's Strongest Man, Cheerleading, Lumberjacking, etc, etc, etc... When does ESPN lose the rights to CL so that FOX Sports World can take over?
