Stunning development by the LA Galaxy who have signed a ten year TV contract with Time Warner
for $55m. What is stunning about this deal is that the number of games to be televised each year
is undetermined, as that will depend upon ESPN and NBC's selection of games. To reword that
sentence.

The Los Angeles Galaxy are turning their success on the playing field to success in the board
room with a new local television deal.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the Galaxy signed a television deal with Time
Warner Cable valued at 55 million over 10 years.
Need further proof that soccer is here to stay in America? Time Warner Cable is going to pay the
LA Galaxy a whooping $55 million over the next 10 years for their broadcast rights. Yeah, that's a
whole lotta lettuce. Sure no other MLS team can command that kind of deal but you gotta believe
that this kind of thing will only continue to get better for other teams in their markets.
The defending state champion, the state's leading scorer, teams riding long unbeaten or winning
streaks and conference rivals.
Yes, there are plenty of story lines for the WIAA Division 3 state boys soccer tournament, which
starts with the semifinals Friday morning at Time Warner Cable Stadium at Milwaukee's Uihlein
Soccer Park.
The 30th annual WIAA boys soccer state tournament kicks off Thursday with the Division I
quarterfinals at Time Warner Cable Field at Milwaukee's Uihlein Soccer Park.
If you can't make it to Milwaukee, Fox Sports Wisconsin will provide a live stream of the
matches online. Here's a look at the eight sides hoping to raise the gold ball after the Division 1
state final Saturday afternoon.
Jessica Axt (Germantown) and Milwaukee School of Engineering seemingly scored at will in
a Northern Athletics Conference women's soccer match Saturday.
Axt set a school record and matched the second-best total in NCAA Division III history with
seven goals in a 17-0 rout of Rockford at Uihlein Soccer Park's Time Warner Cable Stadium.
If you have basic Time Warner Cable, last night you got a chance to see 3 Mexican First Division
games, 1 Friendly from the Herbalife Ultra Challenge between Chivas of Mexico and Barcelona of
Spain, and 1 CONCACAF Champions League match between a Mexican club and Honduras club. And, this
was all from 8p.
In light of yesterday's post on how flakey ESPN3 has been during the Women's World Cup, I was
implored to try the moblie-oriented "WatchESPN" app on my iphone. MOST of the experience was great
and made up for the impossibly small screen. The part that wasn't revolved around the cumbersome
authentication the app requires.
The 29th annual WIAA girls soccer state tournament kicks off Thursday at Uihlein Soccer Park in
Milwaukee with the Division 1 quarterfinals.
It's the first time the event is being played on the FieldTurf surface that was installed at
Uihlein's Time Warner Cable Field last fall. If you can't make it to Milwaukee, all games will be
streamed live on www.
When EPL Talk reader Drew Meger realized that he was going to get home late today and would miss
the live broadcast of Manchester United against Stoke City on Fox Soccer Channel, he decided to
turn to his trusty DVR on Comcast and set the game to record for later viewing.
Except that the Fox Soccer Channel had disappeared from his DVR line-up (see above screenshot
showing a missing channel 256).
