Ok so I was completely off the grid for the last 5 days and I expected the Union to lose and all but now I can't even find Fox Soccer Channel on my Verizon Fios hookup? WTF?
it's gone guys. they have fox sports one now which is a whole bunch of different things and replaced it with fxx. While once revolutionary FSC is now dead
This SUUUCKS! Does anyone know if GolTV atill carries la Lega? - I might swith back to Messi and Ray Hudson...
There is also Fox Sports Two. It is only in SD on FiOS. I think it is around 187 on FiOS. They have had a few soccer matches. I miss FSC.
The positive side to this is that Fox Sports 1 and Fox Sports 2 are more mainstream channels than FSC. FS1, in particular, should be in most cable plans, while FSC was not included in most. So, you still have ECL, FA Cup, CCL, and future Gold Cup soccer on these channels. In other words, soccer will be reaching a larger chunk of the general population than it did with FSC.
Jeez, 5 days? More like 12 months. It was pretty much a forgone conclusion that FSC was going the way of the dodo back in October last year. And once FS1 started up on August 17th, they pretty much pulled FSC off of life support and let it die slowly.
Lots of us liked FSC. Nice stuff about it here: https://www.bigsoccer.com/community/threads/thank-you-fox-soccer-rip.1993359/
I liked it as well. I didn't have a lot of faith in NBC Sports. But it seems to be ok. I do like access to every match. I never had access to Fox Soccer Plus. NBC makes it easier to avoid Gus Johnson.
