I have started watching GolTV on Dishnetwork. It's got SAP english on a bunch of programs, but as I speak Spanish, I watch it all. At any rate, I'm watching a show called "A Todo Gol" and they're showing clips from all the games this last week in Europe, So. America, etc. Then, miracle of miracles, they start showing MLS highlights. They were very complete, and the commentators were very much on top of who the players were and what was going on the league. I've watched a lot of RAI and SKY News, and it's odd to see some MLS stuff from a foreign country. Pretty good. They also show a lot of Central and South American games that you can't see elsewhere. I'm hoping they show some Costa Rican League games next season. ---Mark
GolTV is from Miami. And the whole point of 'A Todo Gol' is just that - show every freaking goal/highlight they can get their hands on over the last week. which includes MLS.
Re: Re: TV Coverage - GolTV Is "a Todo Gol" from Uruguay? The commentators sound Uruguayan or Argentine. At any rate, it's some great stuff. ---Mark
Not yet, but I can't wait. I was at the Peru-Ecuador match held at Giants Stadium on Wednesday, June 11, and on the big screen before the game they showed promos for Gol TV and the crowd roared. Nobody would cheer an ESPN promo.
Re: Re: Re: TV Coverage - GolTV No, it's from Miami. That's why all show they ask you to call in to a Miami telephone number to comment. Really, even if it was from, say, Mexico or Uruguay or wherever, I dont see why the inclusion of MLS would be terribly surprising. it's the US first division. Now, it may not be the best league in the americas but it's definitely one of the top 5. Would a big, 2-hour European soccer recap show be reputable if they didn't give French or Dutch League results and highlights? Just asking.
The only thing I care about is that they show the goals. Who cares who owens it or runs it as long as MLS is include. The more the better. Maybe if the league had some better players we would get more TV time.
Gol TV now available on DISH Network Top 150 Package June 11, 2003 DISH Network has added Gol TV to the America's Top 150 programming package at channel 407 with English-language audio. Gol TV continues to be available in Spanish on Channel 853 to DISH Network subscribers who subscribe to the DISH Latino packages. Gol TV has a direct broadcast satellite-exclusive agreement with DISH Network, which prevents Gol TV from offering the service via DirecTV and DirecTV Para Todos until the exclusivity provision expires.
goltv mentions MLS quite often, even shows a commercial with Etcheverry and Moreno. I've enjoyed watching the Peruvian matches...it's a good network.

Gol TV is actually shown part time on my cable system via the channel LTV. I've caught a couple of Uruguayan games and have seen Gol TV Noticias in the listings.
LTV is channel 67 on Time Warner digital cable in New York. Every Sunday afternoon from 2:30-4:30, they have been showing a Gol TV futbol match for the last month or so. There's time to catch the one on today, so check it out. I don't know who is playing.
