OneWorld Sports added to FIOS (Channel 309)

I forgot to write this the other day. Awesome addition. Will def check out AFC CL and Asian WC qualifiers in a few years. Good job fios!

 

Is this nationally available. I don't see it.

 

They also show live home matches of the New York Cosmos (NASL). - next telecast Saturday at 7 pm v. Indianapolis

This coming Thursday and Sunday, they will be showing same-day coverage of the Women's Asian Cup semifinals and final. (Their listings have it as AFC Champions League semifinals and final, but that makes no sense - those are the dates for the Women's Asian Cup currently being played in Vietnam. )

One World had a free stream of the last games of Asian World Cup qualifying last year - three of the four games were shown live, with the exception due to conflicting game time with another of the matches. However, this past week the matches that completed the round of 16 of the AFC Champions League were shown same-day delay this past Tuesday and Wednesday, as were this weekend's J-League matches. Right now, One World seem to be giving preference to showing live Yomiuri Giants baseball games, but we will have to wait until after the summer to see how their soccer telecast schedule shakes out when the AFC Champions League resumes with the quarterfinal knockout rounds and the Asian Cup qualifiers begin.

 

It should be, now that it's avaiable on Dish and FIOS.
Check out this article about it from Jonathan Tannenwald:
One World Sports joins the fray of soccer TV channels

 

I have FiOS and couldn't find 309.

 

FIOS usually rolls out their new stations one VHO at a time. Some got it last week. I would be surprised if you don't get it in the next couple of days (This program add also includes Al Jazeera America HD on channel 614).

 

According to this article (published in April), "ONE World Sports will be available later this spring on channel 309 to customers who subscribe to the FiOS TV Extreme and FiOS TV Ultimate packages"
If I were you I would call them and ask about it.

 

I'm not too concerned yet. I have one of those packages. Even if I didn't, the channel should have been on the program guide or something I could enter, but that wasn't the case and part of why I asked.

Thanks. That's what I was thinking and the main part of why I was asking, but I wasn't sure if the announcements normally came out before it was completely rolled out.

I've never used this as a gauge before, but the channel shows up for me in the FiOS Mobile app tv listings if I don't login. If I do, it's gone.

 

Both ways.
At times, FIOS has put out announcements of stations being added "on or about" a date, usually for the more major programmers, but more often they have announced additions after all areas have been added. More recently, howeve, I have not received either type of message, and rely more on blogs like the FIOS DSLReports blog to find out updates.

DSLReports is where i saw that VHO5 (Queens, NY) had the new stations before I got it in VHO7 (Freehold, NJ). This morning, someone reported getting the other station (AJA-HD) in VHO4 (Silver Spring, MD) , so I am guessing you are not in the DC area, and are served by either VHO9 (Richmond) or VHO9a (Norfolk).

 

I was actually returning to this thread to say the channel is now available to me and it also shows up in the tv listings in the app. I am in the DC area. Since I didn't see it in the app earlier, I'm guessing I just got it this afternoon/evening.

 

thank you guys, i was looking for free stream o this channel, thanks to you i found out that i have it, is on here in nyc one world sports, i can finaly see the j league, yeah!!!!!!!

 

I remember when espn3 showed the J-league 3 or 4 years back, but don't know if the league has ever been shown on a cable tv station before.

Don't know if you're interested, but I thought I would mention this .......One World Sports will be carrying the 2015 Asia Cup this coming January. That and their coverage of the AFC Champions League are tops on my list..

Incidentally, since you mentioned streams, the OWS website only has video clips and highlights at the current time. They used to simulcast the station on the web with a free signup (I watched the 3 live World Cup Qualifiers they showed on the last day of qualification for the Asia group)...I am hoping since the FIOS deal press release mentioned it as a multiplatform deal, that a mobile version of the station will soon again be available, this time for authenticated users who get the channel if it is part of their cable package.

 

For the 0 people on here that probably have RCN, this channel was just added in HD recently.

Seem to annoyingly run a ticker that shows the game's score that they are replaying(replays of Bayern, Arsenal, and Chelsea seem to be the value of the channel for now), but cool otherwise.

 

Saw an advertisement on the channel the other day for the AFC championship taking place next month. Gave the impression that they would be covering this tournament extensively, but no specifics were giving regarding # of matches.

 

They are showing the whole tournament exclusively...they will show the every match live (except for one final game in each group since they play the two games simultaneously...since the tournament is in Australia, game times will generally be 2 am and 4 am EST.

They will repeat the days matches at midday and again in the evening prime time.

 

At least ESPN stopped doing this, (AFAIK.)

We really have come a long way. If you want to find a game on TV from one of the major leagues around the world, it's probably live on *some* channel. Yeah, you may have to do a bit of digging to find it, but it's probably out there. Between all the ESPNs, FOX channels, DirecTV overflow channels, EPL overflow channels on several providers, whatever GOL TV still has, and even the niche foreign-language channels... we've come a long way over the past 10-15 years.

Anyone ELSE remember when FSW only used their own TV cameras for the Friday night call-in show and (I think) one other show? What about those dial tones at the bookends of commercial breaks? That was an awesome channel with all the variety (of soccer and other sports), but other than that, it was bad...

 

What channel # is OneWorld on Dish? And what package do I need to have in order to see it?

 

Wikipedia says Channel 9794.

 

I have to say, I have had this Network for a week now on Dish (It is part of the Brazilian package I recently negotiated for.) and it has been a pleasant surprise.
Bayern TV, Arsenal TV, Asian Champions League and NY Cosmos. Not bad.
I also like the fact I can access their live streams on Dishanywhere (on PC ) and also a pretty cool Android app. The streams are in HD which exceeds my expectations.
