Details on the deal from NYT (http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/13/sports/soccer/mls-and-tv-networks-reach-deal-to-set-weekly-slots-for-games.html?partner=rss&emc=rss):

 

- UniMas picks up Friday night MLS games with an English audio offered via SAP

- ESPN and FS1 will start a Sunday night doubleheader: ESPN game at 5 p.m./FS1 game at 7 p.m.

- Together, they'll all broadcast 125 games a season

- Rights will cost more than the $70 million a year which SBJ originally reported

- ESPN/FS1 will split the USMNT games

 

The only news we'll be hearing tomorrow is where MLS is moving it's internet streamed games now that MLS Live is ending.

 

Contenders are:

- ESPN 3

- Fox Sports Go

- KICK TV YouTube

- The Scene video player (http://www.socceramerica.com/article/57745/new-conde-nast-platform-to-feature-mls-video.html)

Yup, I wonder who takes the playoffs/MLS Cup. It's also interesting that the MLS will become the first cable-exclusive sports league in the US assuming ABC and Fox don't get any games.

 

Well, cable-exclusive in English anyway.
