PLEASE HELP - MLS Cup on TV

[masster]

What channel is it on? It is not on the ABC affiliate here in Vancouver. Where can I watch it?

[CanadianSwede]

I think its been moved forward to 12:30 or 9:30 your time.

I'm trying to watch it too, its listed as being on ABC KATV 7, but they are showing the new on both the regular and HD feed. My "ABSHD" channel doesn't have it either. What a load of rubbish, I didn't go out last out last night because I wanted to watch this game.

Thats dedication piltdownman, but i am sure its on at 12:30, if you go to www.mlsnet.com, the game tracker hasn't started either. I guess will find out.

Well it looks like it won't be on ABC here on the West coast - http://seattlest.com/2007/11/16/no_mls_cup_for.php

My only hope will be to find it on another ABC affiliate on my box.

What a load of crap. It's a stupid time to host a championship game (9am on the west coast) and then the local channel doesn't even cover the game.

[CanadianSwede]

That's bollocks!

NFL is King this time of year across the US. It would crazy to even try to compete with that marketing machine, championship match or no. Early start is the least of the evil options available I'm guessing.

They could hold the game on a Saturday. A simple solution.

[piltdownman]

Well it should have been on Yesterday ... no NFL at all. Put it on at 6-7pm EST, so its clear of the euro qualifiers ... problem solved.

[piltdownman]

Its on ABC Detroit now ... WXYZ on my shaw box. I know that isn't perfect for people that don't have digital, but it works for most of us.

Heres the reason it won't be aired on ABC that I found on the Sounders fan site:

"KOMO will not be airing the MLS Cup on Sunday. The FCC regulations on Children's programming are extremely strict. Part of the requirements for retaining a broadcast license is that stations must air a specific amount of childrens programming each week during a specific window of time. ABC booked so many hours of sports programming this weekend that it was necessary for us to pre-empt some of the sports programming and air FCC children's programming."

[piltdownman]

Just another reason to hate children ;)

But children's programming isn't on. They are showing some roundtable talking about politics.

The childrens programming will probably start a 10am.

Yeah, a Saturday match would have been perfect. International break, EURO Qualifying in the morning to wet the footie appetite, so-on so-forth.

John very lucky to not have given up the penalty.

Nice cross, nice header.

Try www.myp2p.eu. You'll find Sopcast links there. You need to install Sopcast.
It's working great i'm watching it as we speak (it's halftime, 1-0 Revs)

[Krammerhead]

I have sopcast installed. It just never works. I give up. I'll watch the CFL instead. At least thats a sport that the poor can still follow.:(
