RSL on KSL

KSL just announced they are going to be airing 5 away games during the season. Here is a the schedule.

First game aired, next week. :D

Thought I would make it easier. The link doesn't say much more than this:

April 2 at Metrostars 7:00 (6:30 pre-game)
April 9 at Los Angeles Galaxy 8 pm
July 16 at Kansas City Wizards 6:30
October 1 at Colorado Rapids 7:00
October 8 at San Jose Earthquakes 8:00

I wonder who will be doing the play by play; Greg Wrubell perhaps?

So are these supposed to be eastern times? Or does the RSL website list the game times incorrectly? According to MLSnet, next Saturday's game starts at 5 p.m. MT, not 7 p.m. And dysko mentioned our Loyalists meeting beforehand being at 3:30. Soooo.... does anybody know when the right time is?

And, by the way, I can't wait to hear how all the LDS men are going to talk their way out of General Conference next Saturday (the ONE session that is not televised later! Ha!)

And also, this is kind of a letdown. We thought that all of the games (that weren't covered otherwise) would be on KSL. Now it turns out that only five will be. Dang!

For some reason, I was under the impression that all of the games were going to be televised, home and away. I thought someone was making a big deal about it because we would have been the only MLS team to have all our games broadcast on network tv. I guess I misunderstood.

It seems strange to me that they would broadcast all of the home games and only 5 of the away games. Isn't that usually reversed?

only 5 away games televised??? that's WEAK! But I guess I'll take it.

Yeah all those times are Eastern, since it is well known that everyone lives in the East.
JK. Jules is right, next Saturday evening will be a doozy for scheduling!

As for the amount of games, remember that Fox and ESPN will pick up games and away games will be broadcasted as well (well maybe not KC, CRapids or Dallas, they are the 3 worse markets in MLS when it comes to local broadcasts).

NE Revs are the only MLS team that broadcasts every single game (home or away).

It sounds like from the press release that they are only going to show the 5 away games and none of the home games. It wouldn't make much sense to televise the home games when you need all the warm bodies you can get in the stands. I may have to get the dish network MLS package.

Anyway five games is better than no games. Thank goodness for my old VCR.

GOReAL!!!!!

Beat the Metros, please!!!!!!!!

Greg Wrubell would have to take off the last part of the season for BYU pointyball, so count him out.

But if the rumors I hear are true the broadcast team for TV will be the best in league history... including the ABC/ESPN team.

I checked the TV section in Sundays paper, and they don't have any mention of the game in the schedule. 😲
