Don't be shocked if we don't see "American Soccer's Ten Greatest Moments" in Utah.

When this show doesn't come on, email , and put the email "attention John Fischer," he is the news director, and he makes ALL the decisions down there. Like the not to show the 2002 World Cup Final, not to show the 2004 Utah vs Wyoming football game, the "Congratulations American Idol winner Fantasia" crawl (during the Batchelor season finally 1/2 hour before the winner was announced) decisions. This guy is a real gem.

Supposedly ABC is going to show 12 World Cup 2006 matches. Don't be surprised if we don't get all 12 in Utah.

Did anyone else catch it last night?

Pretty good production. Heather Mitts looked great but Alexi Lalas looked like a bum. Dude needs a designer or someone to help him.

I would have liked to have seen the USA's win over Brazil in there but all in all it was a good show.

That dude at Channel 4 is screwing us over already! The "Top 10" was shown at 11pm instead of the original 1pm time, and the special that was supposed to be on today is no where to be found!!!

I suggest we let Channel 4 know BEFORE it's too late and we've missed a WC game or two this month and/or next!

Here's a reminder of who to contact:

As you can tell, the news director is an A#1 loser. He could care less about his audience. $$$ is all he cares about. I think he felt pressure to show "American Soccer's Ten Greatest Moments" at 11pm (when I watched it) instead of the scheduled infomercials. I know a few people on the Bigsoccer board emailed him. I emailed him, and my boss emailed him a nasty one. I told him that his station is "For Darn sure...not 'Close to [my] Home."
