From What Oliver has said in an e-mail (and granted he is a doomsday type), the French league will not be picked up by FSW and will probably appear on F1 or F5 or whatever the french channel is called. I think it's only available on DISH.

Dutch league is gone and will most likely not be picked up.

Spanish league probably a no go.

Italian league may end up on FSW, but RAI is also in the running.

It could be a lean year for FSW but the CFL has been added

Are you sure that's what OT said? Wasn't it more like, "the French league will NOT be picked up by FSW and WILL PROBABLY appear on F1 or F5 or WHATEVER the french channel is called. Beyond this, Julie LOUDY FOUDY and WUSA have declared WAR on the Nielsen rating SYSTEM, the Mouse, and the Penguin. And MLF IS going to have a franchise in LA next year after MLS FAILS."

So where is all the Nationwide football everyone(or some)was predicting on FSW? Hasn't seemed to come to fruition.

I just wish my cable company would carry FSW full time. We only receive it from 11:00 AM eastern to 5:00 PM eastern Monday thru Friday. It shares space with Fox Sports Detroit and if the Red Wings, Tigers or Pistons have an afternoon match then we don't get FSW for the afternoon. I've talked to the cable company and they wanted to add it to their digital service which I have but Fox will only sell it to them if they put it on an analog channel. My cable company (which is owned by the local newspaper) is not adding any new analog channels.

My cable company does not carry FSW. The new GM wants to, but Fox charges too much (he didn't give me a specific figure) for it to make sense. It's not a huge system so I can understand their dilemma. He also said they have a bunch of other restrictions and maybe the analog thing is one of those.

Kinda sucks, but he said he's still working on it and hopes they might be able to add it by the end of the year. I hate that you're in a somewhat similar boat, but it sounds like my GM isn't feeding me a line of bull.
