  2. @ mobo – in the case of simultaneous games, the “Viewers Choice”can be used like with NRL on Fox Sports 2. Either that or they can be shown on a delay.

  4. Sure I’d like a specific soccer channel but there’s still simulaneous soccer matches on every week so some of them will still end up on Fox Sports 1, 2 and 3.

  6. @ Stephen – haha sorry I didnt realise how many times I typed it. But have you realised the amount of programming on Fox Sports at the moment that is consumed by soccer? To me its a boring sport, but I understand it has a very large fan base (one of the largest sport fan bases in the world), but if Fox Sports wants to show so much of it, give it a designated channel to allow other sports to be shown.

  9. Well with a new CEO I would hope that PMG would launch a HD simulcast of Fuel TV, and the launch of Fox Sports Soccer to get rid of the rediculous amount of soccer shown on Fox Sports 1 and 3 to allow room for more sports other than soccer. Either that or a Fox Sports 4 because there is just too much soccer on.
